Master Yi vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to maintain high camp tempo and reach item spikes before engaging Gragas in fights.
Avoid early river fights where Gragas can use (E) stun and (R) displacement to control skirmishes.
Focus on scaling through efficient farming and look to clean up fights after Gragas commits his crowd control.

Jungle Plan

Use full clears and cross-map camp trades to maintain item tempo and avoid early fights against Gragas's strong engage.
Contest river objectives only when your lanes have priority and Gragas's key cooldowns are down.
Track Gragas's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks and punish his cooldown windows with reset chains after (E) and (R) are used.

Danger windows

Early jungle fights when Gragas has (E) stun and (R) displacement available are high risk; avoid isolated river skirmishes.
Low-health clears leave you vulnerable to Gragas's engage and counter-jungling; prioritize safe pathing.
Forced smite fights near objectives are dangerous if Gragas can separate you with (R); contest only with lane priority and cooldown advantage.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 6 quickly and gain access to (R) for reset potential.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can assist to avoid getting locked down by (E) and (R).
Avoid early invades unless (E) and (R) are on cooldown and your lanes can counter-gank effectively.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling you to chase and reset on low-health targets; enter fights only after Gragas uses his crowd control.
First item spike increases your sustained damage and objective speed; maintain camp tempo and only join fights with reset potential.
Respect Gragas's level 6 (R) displacement to avoid getting isolated or knocked into his team.

Win conditions

Convert superior clear speed and scaling into objective control by securing dragons and Rift Herald when Gragas is occupied or on cooldown.
Use (R) reset chains to clean up low-health targets after Gragas commits his crowd control in skirmishes.
Deny Gragas jungle tempo by counter-jungling camps cross-map when his (E) and (R) are unavailable and lanes can assist.
