Diana vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Diana's fast clear speed to reach level 6 quickly and prioritize efficient full clears toward a safe first reset.
Manage river control tightly and avoid early fights before level 6 unless you have clear lane priority or counter-gank support.
This matchup favors mid-game teamfight impact; focus on scaling through objective control and smart ganks rather than early dueling.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears toward your first reset unless a lane shows strong setup for early ganks or counter-invades.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority and Gragas is visible on the opposite side of the map.
Use level 6 (R) to force objective fights or picks, then leverage your high objective control to secure dragons or Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Respect (E) engage and (R) displacement during early river fights and objective setups; avoid isolated skirmishes without vision.
Be cautious when your (Q) is on cooldown or missed, as you lose your main burst and escape reset, making you vulnerable to counter-attacks.
Avoid fighting when low on health after clears or forced smite contests, as Gragas's sustain and burst can capitalize on your weakness.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 6 faster and avoid risky invades before your burst combo is available.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can support a fight; otherwise, prioritize safe farming and vision control.
Avoid fighting Gragas early without lane priority as his (E) stun and sustain can punish overextensions and missed engages.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo; use it only when minion waves and spacing reduce punish risk.
Level 6 (R) is your main all-in and teamfight tool; track its availability to time engages or defensive resets.
After your first AP skirmish item, increase pressure on camps and objectives, forcing Gragas into unfavorable trades or longer fights.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear and level 6 all-in into aggressive objective control around dragons and Rift Herald.
Use your (R) to initiate or disrupt fights, then follow up with burst combos to secure kills and snowball map pressure.
Track Gragas's pathing and cooldowns to counter-invade and deny his tempo, forcing him into defensive clears and scaling denial.
