 Aatrox | Very Hard | 235 | 52% | -347 | -455 | You both don't have enough damage to outdo each other's sustain. In general Aatrox will win extended trades while you excel in short trades. Play to farm and scale up. Avoid his q2 and q3 sweetspots. E out whenever Aatrox uses chains on you. | |
 DrMundo | Very Hard | 180 | 50% | -144 | -679 | Really bad lane for gragas, his passive's ability to ignore CC negates what Gragas excels at, disruption and CC. Mundo can just run you down with cleavers once he has some tenacity. Play to outscale him in teamfights | |
 Renekton | Hard | 175 | 57% | -189 | -416 | This is another early bully that can be survived through your Passive and W sustain. Use your E to disengage whenever he looks to trade. Once you get Lost Chapter, you can start looking to throw Qs and combos at him. His lethal range is very low, as he can regain a lot of health with his R and Q. | |
 Ambessa | Very Hard | 167 | 50% | -180 | -470 | 💬 No tips yet — Be the first to add a tip! | |
 Riven | Not Favored | 167 | 47% | +9 | -419 | She can do whatever she wants at level 1. Wait for level 2 and use your E to disengage when she tries to dash on you. You can cancel her third Q during her flip with your E to avoid the knockup and damage. The lane is very easy unless she gets a kill. | |
 Fiora | Very Hard | 156 | 47% | -428 | -1531 | Use body slam point blank to make sure Fiora cannot react to it and parry. Spam qs onto her and poke her down. Do a point blank body slam to guarentee your ult. | |
 Darius | Very Hard | 145 | 54% | -225 | -849 | Do not get frozen on. Play to scale up to lost chapter. When you get it you can q poke or w body slame in and q and run with phase rush. | |
