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.
