How to play Gragas
Gragas is a flexible champion who can play in the Mid Lane or Jungle. Gragas has numerous abilities that can crowd-control enemies and has the potential to one-shot any enemy with one combo. With Gragas in-built sustain from his passive Happy Hour, he can keep healthy during the laning phase so he can farm for his levels and items. One of the best combos you can do with Gragas is hitting Body Slam, followed by his Barrel Roll and Explosive Cask, to deal a lot of burst damage.
Make sure to check the alternative build at the top of the page for playing Gragas in the jungle.
Gragas' Abilities
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.
Gragas Build Breakdown
Lich Bane synergizes well with Drunken Rage, giving Gragas next auto attack bonus damage to increase his burst potential.
Rabadon's Deathcap gives Gragas a massive boost of Ability Power which scales incredibly well into the mid/late game. Deathcap is essential in helping Gragas burst damage in the late game.
Awakened Soulstealer increases Gragas' burst damage potential, and when you get a takedown, it decreases all of Gragas' cooldowns, which allows him to use his abilities to be more mobile and deal more damage.
With runes, we have:
Gragas' Barrels are a great way to proc First Strike, giving him extra damage and gold throughout the game to help you scale and buy items sooner.
Sudden Impact synergizes well with Body Slam, which you'll use at the start of a fight to try to stun enemy champions. This helps you deal bonus damage with your other abilities.
Before engaging with Body Slam, you want to use Drunken Rage to enhance your next auto attack. With this on top of Empowered Attack, you'll be dealing a lot of damage.
Eyeball Collector is great as it gives Gragas more Ability Power every time he gets a takedown.
Bone Plating will help Gragas take reduced damage. This helps Gragas a lot since he is a melee champion and will be dashing in a lot.
Flash is the most important Summoner Spell for Gragas. When Body Slam is on cooldown, he has no other ways to escape danger. You can also use flash aggressively to catch enemies off guard with Body Slam.
Ignite offers extra damage and enhances Gragas' all-in burst damage to help secure kills.
Early Game
Gragas does ok during the laning phase. You can use his Barrel Roll to poke enemies and last-hit minions. Alternatively, you can use Drunken Rage to last hit minions with the increased attack range. Using abilities will also heal Gragas because of his passive Happy Hour, helping you stay healthy during the laning phase. Once you hit level 3 and have all basic abilities, you can look for a solo kill on the enemy. First, use your Drunken Rage to enhance your next auto attack, then use Gragas's Body Slam to collide with the enemy and finish the combo by using your Barrel Roll.
Late Game
Gragas scales incredibly well into the late game with his burst damage and crowd control; however, he can be squishy and die quickly, so keep that in mind when looking for an engage. Try to catch someone out with your combo when out of enemy vision to offer that surprise factor. Gragas excels at team fighting and grouping up with his team. Gragas has a lot of crowd control that can be used to help his team get an advantage. When in a teamfight, the best thing you want to do is jump to their backline, where you can kill the enemy carrys.
Conclusion
Overall, Gragas is an excellent carry champion who scales extremely well with Ability Power. He's also a great team fighter with his crowd control and pick potential that can help you carry games.
