Gragas vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Gragas should control the lane with short trades and prevent Yone from safely scaling into extended fights.
Prioritize disrupting Yone's engage attempts by holding (E) for counter-stuns and using (R) to isolate or disengage.
This is a control versus scaling matchup where Gragas must deny Yone's planned all-in combos and maintain lane dominance.

Trading pattern

Take compact trades by preparing (W) before engaging with (E) to stun Yone when he dashes in, then disengage quickly using passive sustain.
Punish Yone immediately after he uses (E) to return to his original position, as he loses mobility and escape options then.
Use (Q) slows to zone and disrupt (Q) stack buildup, limiting his knockup threat and all-in potential.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is off cooldown as it enables his engage and escape, making trades riskier.
Respect (Q) third cast knockup and (R) displacement as these can turn fights instantly; avoid clustering near minions or your team.
Avoid missing (E) yourself, as it removes your main engage and escape tool, leaving you vulnerable to Yone's follow-up damage.

Early game

Use (Q) to zone and slow Yone, then follow up with (W) and (E) for short burst trades while healing with passive.
Avoid using (E) aggressively into a losing wave or without passive sustain ready to punish Yone's counterplay.
Focus on maintaining a controlled lane state where you can punish (E) usage and avoid extended trades before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full kit to perform short trades, especially punishing Yone if he misuses (E) or misses his knockup.
At level 6, leverage (R) to displace Yone, interrupt his engage, or isolate him from his team, forcing him to respect your positioning.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his first attack speed item spike by avoiding extended trades and punishing cooldown windows.

Win conditions

Win by controlling short trades around your passive and (W), punishing (E) cooldown and positioning mistakes.
Use (R) strategically in teamfights to isolate Yone or disengage his all-ins, denying his planned combos.
Maintain lane control to deny Yone safe scaling, forcing him into unfavorable trades or missing farm to prevent his mid-game power spikes.
