Gragas Build Guide (Mid)

Gragas is a bully mage with a bruiser's health bar: Barrel Roll poke costs him nothing thanks to Happy Hour and Drunken Rage, and Explosive Cask turns any fight into a scattered mess your team cleans up.

Gragas Changes

Patch 26.17

nerf

Gragas is extremely safe, very bursty, and overall just overperforms in mid lane. Our nerfs are aimed at making him less safe as a laner and make him consider his openings more carefully without reducing his burst damage by much.

  • Cooldown: 25s → 30s
