Gragas vs Warwick

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlling river Scuttle and early objective vision to limit Warwick's strong early dueling and sustain pressure.
Avoid extended fights; use (E) for engage or disengage and rely on (R) to disrupt Warwick's suppression attempts.
This matchup favors short trades and objective control over full clears or risky invades due to Warwick's high invade resistance and dueling.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes where (E) can catch Warwick off-guard or force his flash, enabling ganks before he reaches level 6.
Fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to deny Warwick's early objective control and sustain advantage.
Use (R) to break Warwick's positioning during dragon or Rift Herald fights, isolating him from smite contests or team support.

Danger windows

Warwick's level 3 to 6 window is dangerous due to his sustain and fear; avoid isolated river fights or invades without lane priority.
Be cautious when your (E) or passive sustain is on cooldown, as Warwick can punish missed engages with extended trades.
Objective setups where Warwick can suppress a target with (R) pose high risk; hold flank angles and vision to prevent surprise engages.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to maintain health and tempo, then contest river Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early full clears that expose you to Warwick's stronger early dueling and sustain.
Hold flank angles near objectives to set up counter-ganks against Warwick's early pressure rather than initiating direct invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for displacement; use it to isolate Warwick or disengage his suppression, forcing him to respect your engage.
First AP or tank item spike increases your burst or durability; trade around your build's strength to avoid extended fights Warwick favors.
Level 3 grants your full kit; use (E) to interrupt Warwick's engage and (W) to mitigate his damage in short burst trades.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into objective control by contesting Scuttle and using (R) to disrupt Warwick's smite fights.
Use (E) and (Q) to set up ganks on lanes with priority, forcing Warwick into reactive plays and denying his early snowball.
Deny Warwick extended fights by trading short bursts and disengaging quickly, then leverage your utility in teamfights to isolate or peel key targets.
