Yone vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee skirmisher who must use (E) + (Q) combos to force trades with planned exits against Gragas.
Avoid giving Gragas a passive lane state by applying pressure when his (E) stun and (R) displacement are on cooldown.
This matchup is a snowball vs control lane where Yone must deny Gragas's short trades and scale safely.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) to reach knockup, then use (E) and second (Q) to gap close and snap back safely to avoid (E) counter.
Punish Gragas immediately after he misses (E) to extend trades or force summoner spells.
Avoid trading when (W) shield and passive sustain are active to reduce your damage effectiveness.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun and (R) displacement combo as it can interrupt your engages and turn fights.
Avoid extended trades when Gragas's passive sustain and (W) shield are up to prevent losing health advantage.
Be cautious when using (E) from a bad position, as Gragas can punish your predictable location after snapback.

Early game

Play cautiously pre-level 3 and avoid extended trades until you unlock (E) for safe engage and disengage.
Use early wave control to create opportunities for (E) + (Q) trades without overcommitting.
Respect (E) stun threat early and only engage when his (E) is on cooldown or poorly positioned.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to force trades with a shield and planned exit.
After your first attack speed item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Gragas's cooldowns.
Respect Gragas's level 6 (R) displacement and avoid committing when it's available to prevent being isolated or disengaged.

Win conditions

Use (E) + (Q) combos to force trades and deny Gragas's passive sustain advantage.
Punish missed (E) stuns by extending trades or taking aggressive wave control.
Reach your key item spikes to outdamage Gragas and pressure side lanes or teamfights with your high mobility and knockup crowd control.
