Fiddlesticks vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize efficient full clears to hit level 6 before contesting river or objectives against Gragas.
Avoid early direct fights; use vision control and fog of war to set up impactful (R) ambushes in teamfights.
This is a scale-and-control matchup where Fiddlesticks must leverage superior clear speed and vision denial to dominate objectives.

Jungle Plan

Focus on multi-camp clears to maintain tempo and reach level 6 before forcing plays.
Contest river control and Scuttle when allied lanes have priority, using fog to set up (R) engages.
Avoid early invades or direct fights; instead, trade cross-map camps if Gragas shows on the opposite side to deny his tempo and scaling.

Danger windows

Beware early river fights before level 6 where (E) stun and (R) displacement can isolate and burst you.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights without vision as Gragas can capitalize on your low resistance and mobility.
Respect lane priority states that enable Gragas to invade or counter-gank effectively, especially around dragon and Herald setups.

Early game

Execute a full clear path to reach level 6 quickly, avoiding early river skirmishes where (E) engage and (R) displacement threaten.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Gragas.
Reset for control wards and sweepers before objective fights to deny Gragas vision and setup fog ambushes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to ambush from fog and turn skirmishes or objectives in your favor.
Exploit Gragas's reliance on (E) for engage by punishing missed (E) cooldowns with counter-invades or ganks.
Respect Gragas's first item spike where his burst and sustain improve short trades; avoid extended fights during this window.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear speed and level 6 power spike into vision denial and fog ambushes to secure dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to create pick opportunities and force 5v4 fights around objectives.
Deny Gragas free farm by invading when lanes have priority and punish his cooldowns to delay his scaling impact.
