    Gragas Tips and Tricks

    Gragas is a strong early-game Jungler who excels at ganking. Look for frequent opportunities to help your lanes gain an advantage. To ensure your R knocks enemies in the right direction, aim it just behind them rather than directly on top. Positioning yourself off to the side while your team groups can allow you to flank and push enemies toward your teammates.
