Gragas - General Playstyle:

Gragas -Laning Phase:

Focus on farming and poking the enemy with Q. Use W to mitigate damage and E for quick trades or escapes.

Early Game:

Look for roams and help your jungler with objectives. Gragas has good gank potential with E and R.

Mid Game:

Continue to farm and look for picks. Gragas can engage or disengage fights effectively.

Late Game:

Stick with your team. Use your R to disrupt the enemy backline or peel for your carries.

Gragas - Farming:

• Use Q to poke and farm from a distance.
• W can help last-hit and gives damage reduction.

Gragas - Teamfighting:

• Engage with E and follow up with R to isolate key targets.
• Use W for damage reduction and Q for consistent damage.
• Can also play a peeling role for your ADC or other carries.

Gragas - Objectives:

• Dragon: Use your kit to zone enemies away. R can be used to steal or secure.
• Baron: Same as Dragon, but be more cautious due to the higher risk.

Gragas - Matchups:

• Bad Matchup Example: Galio. He's tanky, has a lot of CC, and has built-in magic resist. It's hard to kill him, so focus on punishing his roams and look for kills elsewhere.

Champions Strong Against Gragas:

• Champions with high mobility or those who can dodge his Q and E easily.
• Champions with built-in magic resist or those who can build early MR.

Champions Weak Against Gragas:

• Immobile mages or ADCs who can be easily caught by Gragas's E-R combo.
• Champions who lack early game pressure.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to play Gragas in the mid lane. Remember, adaptability is key, so always adjust your playstyle and build based on the game's situation and your opponents. This was Gragas’s ultimate guide for the latest patch.
