Wukong vs Gragas Counter Pick

Gragas wins nearly every column on the stat sheet, and the win rate follows at 41.7% for Wukong over 139 games on patch 16.13.1. The gaps are not marginal: 640 health against 610 at level 1 and 2,595 against 2,293 at level 18, 38 armor against 31 growing to 123 against 110.9, and 32 magic resistance against 28.

• Happy Hour heals Gragas periodically on ability use, so his sustain costs nothing but cooldowns, while Stone Skin only regenerates health while Wukong is actively fighting champions or monsters.
• Body Slam is a charge that stuns everything near the first unit it hits, catching Warrior Trickster‘s dash and the clone alike.
• Explosive Cask knocks back, undoing the positioning Nimbus Strike spent a cooldown to establish.

Wukong’s counterplay is reach and armor shredding. His 175 attack range beats 125, Crushing Blow extends it further while cutting the target’s armor for a few seconds, and 66 attack damage at level 1 against 64 makes the opening exchanges viable. Gragas deals mixed damage, so a single resistance never covers Drunken Rage and Barrel Roll together, and his 330 move speed is the softest number he owns against 340. Difficulty is 5 for Gragas and 3 for Wukong. Cyclone stays the reset button, knocking up while granting move speed. Reference: Gragas.
