How to play it
DO
Avoid the long trade
Gragas out-sustains extended fights — dodge his Body Slam engage and never let him lock you into a drawn-out trade.
Burst then bail
Land your full combo — 1Q, then E to catch the second Q hit plus an auto — then run away before he trades back.
He needs an item lead
One-on-one you win unless he's a full item ahead, so don't gift him early leads.
DON'T
Never grind out a long trade with Gragas — he out-sustains you, so hit your combo and disengage.
