Gragas Build Guide for Wild Rift

Happy Hour

(Passive)

Casting an ability restores health.

Happy Hour helps Gragas stay healthy in the laning phase and when clearing through the jungle. The passive works best with Drunken Rage since it has a very low cooldown, and you will also take reduced damage.

Barrel Roll

(1)

Gragas rolls a barrel to a target location that explodes upon re-casting or after a few seconds. Enemies hit take magic damage and are slowed for a few seconds. The damage and the slow amount increases over the first few seconds when the Barrel is on the ground. This is indicated when the Barrel turns red.

This ability is excellent for poking enemies in the laning phase or to last hit minions if you don't feel comfortable walking up. Barrel Roll also reveals the area hit, so if you are scared to check a brush, throw your Barrel in to check if someone is there before walking in.

Drunken Rage

(2)

When used, Gragas takes reduced damage for a few seconds. Gragas cannot attack or cast spells during Drunken Rage's animation, so activate it early before fighting or in a safe place. Within a few seconds after using Drunken Rage, the next attack is empowered to splash nearby enemies for bonus magic damage.

It's important to always use Drunken Rage at the start of your combo so you don't waste time using the ability when you are next to the champion.

Body Slam

(3)

Gragas charges forward, colliding with the first enemy hit to deal magic damage to nearby enemies. Enemies hit are also bumped backwards, stunning them for a second. Body Slam's cooldown is reduced by a few seconds if it collides with an enemy successfully.

Body Slam is Gragas primary engage tool. You can also combo Body Slam with Flash to extend the range of this ability. This will catch a lot of enemies off guard and give them less time to react or dodge. To do this combo correctly, you need to use Body Slam, and whilst you are in the charge animation, use Flash, and the animation will carry on.

Explosive Cask

(Ultimate)

Gragas hurls a barrel that explodes when it lands, dealing magic damage and knocking enemies away from the explosion's centre. Explosive Cask can make or break a team fight. You can knock an enemy into your team and burst them down or knock them away to save your teammates. So, the placement of Explosive Cast is critical. When used correctly, you can use your ultimate at the start of the fight to knock enemies towards you. Then you can combo that with Body Slam to stun them, followed by a Drunken Rage auto-attack to deal a lot of damage.
