Heimerdinger vs Gragas

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the lane and force Gragas to farm under pressure.
Prioritize maintaining lane pressure and denying Gragas safe scaling opportunities through sustained zone control.

Trading pattern

Trade only when multiple turrets are active and (E) can land inside turret range to maximize damage and control.
Punish Gragas after he misses (E) or uses (R) to disengage by stepping forward with turret and (W) damage.
Avoid fighting away from turrets or when (E) is down to reduce risk from Gragas's burst and crowd control.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun and (R) displacement as they enable burst trades and disrupt your positioning.
Be cautious when your turrets are cleared or (E) is on cooldown, as Gragas can engage more safely.
Avoid overpushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to Gragas's medium mobility and jungle ganks.

Early game

Establish turrets early to define your control area before Gragas can engage.
Hold (E) to punish (E) engage attempts and avoid wasting it on poke.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent ganks, as your low mobility makes you vulnerable.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full turret, (W), and (E) combo to punish Gragas's short trades.
At level 6, choose (R) upgrade based on needed burst, control, or survivability to deny Gragas's engage or disengage options.
After your first AP item, keep turrets alive and force Gragas through turret zones for punishing trades.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining turret zones that punish Gragas's melee approach and force him to farm under pressure.
Use (E) stun and upgraded abilities to deny Gragas's engages or dives and secure objective setups.
Exploit Gragas's cooldowns and missed (E) to extend trades inside turret range and build lane dominance.
