When Poking and chipping the enemy from a safe range in lane

1. QRoll→
2. QDetonate

Tip Q ferments during its first 1.5 seconds on the ground, increasing both damage and slow up to 150%. Place it across the escape route to force movement, then detonate just before the target leaves or once it is fully fermented.

When Winning a short melee-range trade in lane

1. WDrink→
2. AutoEmpowered basic attack→
3. QRoll→
4. QDetonate

Tip W briefly reduces incoming damage and empowers the next basic attack within 5 seconds with area maximum-health damage. Drink just before the trade to blunt the first retaliation, land the empowered attack, and place Q ahead of time to cover the escape route.

When Bursting down a target once Gragas has a stun angle

1. QPre-roll→
2. WDrink→
3. EDash stun→
4. AutoW-empowered basic attack→
5. QDetonate→
6. RFinish

Tip Roll Q onto the escape path and drink W before engaging to empower the next basic attack. When E stuns, land that empowered basic attack, detonate Q before the target can move, then follow with R. The basic attack does not cancel E, so confirm both the collision and attack damage separately.

When Landing a surprise stun engage from an unexpected angle

1. WDrink→
2. EDash→
3. FlashReposition→
4. AutoW-empowered basic attack→
5. QRoll→
6. RKnock in

Tip Drink W first, then Flash during E to relocate its collision point. Confirm that E actually contacts and stuns the champion before adding the empowered basic attack and Q, then aim R to knock the target toward Gragas's team. Flash alone does not stun; E's collision still has to connect.
