Gragas is a Battlemage that deals magic (AP) damage and brings airborne, stun, slow. Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it. Below is Gragas's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.
ABILITIES
PassiveHappy Hour
Gragas periodically heals upon using a skill.
QBarrel Roll
Gragas rolls his cask to a location, which can be activated to explode or will explode on its own after 4 seconds. The potency of the explosion increases over time. Enemies struck by the blast have their Move Speed slowed.
WDrunken Rage
Gragas samples his latest brew for 1 second. After finishing, he becomes boisterous and belligerent, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies on his next basic attack and reducing damage received.
EBody Slam
Gragas charges to a location and collides with the first enemy unit he comes across, dealing damage to all nearby enemy units and stunning them.
RExplosive Cask
Gragas hurls his cask to a location, dealing damage and knocking back enemies caught in the blast radius.
COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASGragas
- The damage reduction from Drunken Rage is applied when you start drinking, try to use it when you see damage coming your way.
- Try to knock enemies back into your towers with Explosive Cask.
- Try to combo Body Slam with Explosive Cask to set up kills for your team.
PLAYING AGAINSTGragas
- Gragas can knock everybody away with his ultimate. Be careful that you don't get knocked into him or, worse, an enemy tower.
- Body Slam is on a very low cooldown, making it difficult to pursue Gragas. Don't overextend yourself chasing him.
