Gragas vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Gragas's medium early pressure and strong objective control to contest river and force Viego into reactive pathing.
Prioritize skirmishes where (E) can interrupt Viego's engage and (R) can isolate him from resets to control mid-game fights.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes where you can follow up (E) engages to secure kills or force Viego off camps.
Contest river vision and use (R) to break enemy objective formations, denying Viego smite control on Dragon and Herald.
Shadow lanes with priority to counter-gank Viego's early skirmishes and punish him before he gains reset momentum.

Danger windows

Be cautious in low-health river fights where Viego can start resets with his (W) stun and (R) execute.
Avoid isolated skirmishes before you have lane priority or (R) ready, as Viego's reset potential is highest then.
Respect Viego's camouflage (E) for fogged river approaches that can catch you off-guard during objective setups.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to maintain health and hold angles for early ganks where (E) can force flashes or setups.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated river fights.
Avoid full clears against Viego to prevent losing tempo to his faster farming and stronger level 6 resets.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to disengage Viego's all-ins or isolate him from his team to prevent resets.
After first AP or tank item, leverage improved burst or durability to win short trades and avoid prolonged duels.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) and first fighter item spike by avoiding extended fights that allow him to reset and snowball.

Win conditions

Convert (E) engages and (R) displacement into successful ganks and objective control to deny Viego resets.
Use superior objective control and vision denial to limit Viego's access to Dragon and Rift Herald fights.
Track Viego's pathing to counter-jungle safely and force fights before he completes his first fighter item to limit his scaling potential.
