Trundle vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your juggernaut strength to force extended melee duels and pressure side lanes for splitpush advantage.
Manage lane pressure to avoid giving Gragas safe short trades and passive sustain windows, aiming to deny his control-oriented playstyle.

Trading pattern

Engage in long trades inside (W) to maximize your healing and attack speed while weakening Gragas with (Q).
Use (E) to cut off Gragas's escape or to trap him after he commits, punishing his reliance on (E) for engage and disengage.
Avoid extended fights when (W) is down or (E) is wasted, as Gragas can punish your lowered sustain and control.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun as a key engage and disengage tool; avoid dashing or committing when it is off cooldown.
Be cautious around (R) displacement, which can interrupt your engages or isolate you from your team.
Watch for Gragas's short burst trades when his passive sustain and (W) are up; avoid extended fights during these windows.

Early game

Start with controlled trades focusing on landing (Q) and fighting inside (W) to build advantage before level 6.
Avoid wasting (E) without a clear chase or disengage purpose to maintain pressure and control.
Use early wave control to force Gragas into unfavorable trades and limit his passive sustain effectiveness.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Gragas to drain his resistances and health, turning him into a much easier duel target.
After your first dueling item, force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure towers and punish Gragas's lower sustained damage.
Respect Gragas's level 6 (R) displacement and short trade burst; avoid committing fully when his ultimate is available and spaced well.

Win conditions

Win extended duels by fighting inside (W), using (Q) to weaken Gragas, and (E) to trap or disrupt his movement.
Use (R) on Gragas to steal resistances and health, turning him into a vulnerable target and enabling tower pressure.
Push side lanes to force Gragas into isolated fights where you can leverage your splitpush and dueling strengths.
