K'Sante vs Gragas

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by managing (Q) stacks and using terrain to threaten displacement with (R).
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Gragas safe passive scaling and avoid giving him short trade windows.
Focus on front-line control and target isolation as your main win method in this medium-length game.

Trading pattern

Trade around stacked (Q) and use (W) to absorb burst and interrupt Gragas's engage attempts.
Avoid trading without (Q3) ready or when (W) is on cooldown to prevent being punished by Gragas's burst.
Use (R) only when you can isolate Gragas near terrain for a favorable duel and displacement advantage.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun threat, especially when he can engage from fog or short range.
Be cautious when (R) is up as it can isolate or knock you into his team.
Avoid extended trades after you use (R), as your durability drops and Gragas can punish sustained fights.

Early game

Use early waves to safely farm and stack (Q) without overextending into (E) engage.
Avoid committing to trades without (Q) stacks or (W) ready to absorb burst damage.
Prepare to punish Gragas after he misses (E) or uses (W) for damage reduction.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Gragas and turn terrain into a kill angle; avoid using (R) into unfavorable duels.
After your first tank item, leverage increased durability to control space and trade confidently around (Q) stacks.
Respect Gragas's level 6 (R) displacement and his first item spike; avoid committing when his (R) is available and ready.

Win conditions

Win by controlling the lane with (Q) stacks and terrain displacement to isolate Gragas for favorable duels.
Deny Gragas safe short trades by preserving (W) and punishing his cooldowns, especially after missed (E).
Transition into teamfights where you can peel effectively and use (R) to isolate high-value targets near terrain.
