Gragas Top guide

Gragas top is a poke mage built around Barrel Roll (Q), Body Slam (E), and Explosive Cask (R): chip with Barrel Roll from range, land Body Slam to collide with and stun the first enemy in his path, then follow with Explosive Cask to knock back everyone caught in the blast while Happy Hour (passive) heals him after each cast.

The build

Rune page: Stormraider's Surge, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Biscuit Delivery and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Barrel Roll (Q) at level 1 and maxes it first, with Body Slam (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Hextech Rocketbelt, Lich Bane, Shadowflame, with Rod of Ages, Seraph's Embrace, and Cosmic Drive as later options.

Ability mechanics

Barrel Roll (Q) rolls a cask to a location that explodes on activation or after four seconds on its own, growing more potent the longer it sits, and slows enemies hit by the blast. Drunken Rage (W) has him sample a brew for a second before his next basic attack deals magic damage to nearby enemies and he takes reduced damage. Body Slam (E) charges him into the first enemy unit he reaches, damaging and stunning everyone nearby.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Dr. Mundo, Garen, Malphite, Jax, Yone. Best matchups: Jayce, Darius, Aatrox.
