Gragas Wild Rift Build & Guide

• Electrocute – Grants additional burst damage on successful combos. Grasp of the Undying is the alternative rune that grants HP-based bonus damage and heal.
• Brutal – Increases your damage output through the additional AP and magic penetration. Gathering Storm allows you to accumulate AP even when building with tank items.
• Hunter – Titan – Grants additional health and crowd control resistance on takedowns.
• Pathfinder – Increases movement speed when out of combat when on the jungle, river, and bushes. Take Sweet Tooth when laning for the bonus healing and gold when eating Honeyfruits.

In our Gragas Wild Rift Guide, here are the best champion spells that you can equip on him.

Smite is necessary because Gragas is mostly played as the Jungle. It allows you to safely farm the camps and secure buffs and Epic monsters like Drakes and Baron Nashor. Upgrading it into the blue or red smite is up to your preference. The Blue Smite helps secure ganks because of its slowing effect and the Red Smite helps you gain an advantage in duels because of its additional AP effect.

Flash is necessary for Gragas because it helps in engaging and escaping and it makes for a cool and almost unavoidable initiation with the E + Flash combo.

Ignite is a viable spell for securing kills when playing Gragas as a top or mid laner while as a support, Exhaust might be a better option as an additional layer of protection for your AD carry.

The first point will go to 2nd, Drunken Rage, because the empowered attack deals HP-based damage which is a great help for killing the buff monsters. We are going to max 1st, Barrel Roll, first because it is our main source of damage for our jungle clears and ganks. Then, we will max 3rd, Body Slam, next then 2nd, Drunken Rage, last because Body Slam has its cooldown scale down with its ability level. Of course, we are always investing a point in our ultimate, Explosive Cask, whenever possible.

Gragas is a pretty safe pick wherever he is laned because of his passive that heals him once in a while when he uses an ability. This allows him to maintain a good amount of health in the laning phase.

Use 1st, Barrel Roll to harass opponents so that you’ll slowly lower their health to a point that they can be killed with an all-in combo.

If they fight back, use your 2nd, Drunken Rage to reduce the damage that you’ll receive then retaliate with your 3rd, Body Slam then auto-attack to use your empowered attack to deal massive damage.

When playing as a jungler, use your Flash to buffer your 3rd, Body Slam for surprising initiation when ganking.

In mid game and late game clashes, Gragas’s ultimate, Explosive Cask can displace enemies, making it easier for your team to engage on them one by one. You can also use his ultimate to disengage a losing fight and give your team a chance to escape.

Help your team by staying close to them and zone the enemy using 1st, Barrel Roll on chokepoints and allow it to brew. If they choose to walk over it, activate it to deal damage to them and slow them.

If you see an enemy low on health, do not hesitate to all-in on them because Gragas deals extreme amounts of damage especially if you are using the mage build.

For our Gragas Wild Rift Guide, we highly recommend using him with the following champions as they synergize well with him.

Yasuo when plays in the mid lane, can benefit a lot from Gragas because of Gragas ganking presence, and Yasuo’s strong AD scaling will prevent them from building a full armor defense build against Yasuo = then suffer the magic damage from Gragas or a full magic resistance build then suffer from Yasuo’s strong AD scaling. Plus, there is the possibility of pulling off a beautiful wombo combo which is Body Slam + Last Breath + Explosive Cask.

Kha’Zix loves playing with a good Gragas because Gragas can create a lot of space for him. A well-placed Explosive Casket will Isolate enemies, making it easy for Kha’Zix to pick off enemies one by one.
