Gragas vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Gragas's medium early pressure and strong objective control to contest river and dragon before Fiddlesticks hits level 6.
Prioritize disrupting Fiddlesticks's tempo by invading or counter-invading early, leveraging your (E) for engage or escape.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where you must deny Fiddlesticks free farm and vision before his ultimate becomes a threat.

Jungle Plan

Full clear or three-camp path depending on lane priority, then look to invade Fiddlesticks's jungle when his camps are down and (E) is available.
Contest Scuttle crab aggressively if your lanes can assist to deny Fiddlesticks vision and objective control.
Use (R) to disrupt enemy formations around dragon or Rift Herald and isolate Fiddlesticks during objective fights.

Danger windows

Avoid invading or fighting when your (E) or passive sustain is on cooldown, as you lose both engage and escape tools.
Be cautious contesting river fights before level 6 since Fiddlesticks can set up ambushes with vision control.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights around objectives are risky; hold flank angles and use (R) to separate enemies if fights start.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to keep healthy and hold angles for early invades or counter-invades.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back up your river control.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 since Fiddlesticks has low early dueling but clears camps very fast, so contest vision and camps instead.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your (R) displacement, enabling you to isolate targets or peel engages; use this to punish Fiddlesticks's post-6 ambush attempts.
First AP or tank item spike improves your burst or durability; adapt trades to your build strength and avoid extended fights if built burst.
Level 3 completes your kit for full short trade combos; use (E) to engage when passive sustain is available.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and river control into dragon and Rift Herald objectives by denying Fiddlesticks vision and smite access.
Use (E) gank angles on lanes with priority to force enemy flashes or kills, then counter-jungle safely.
Leverage your (R) in teamfights to disrupt Fiddlesticks's ultimate engages and isolate him or his targets to secure kills and objectives.
