Happy Hour
Gragas periodically heals upon using a skill.
Lore
Equal parts jolly and imposing, Gragas is a massive, rowdy brewmaster who's always on the lookout for new ways to raise everyone's spirits. Hailing from parts unknown, he searches for ingredients among the unblemished wastes of the Freljord to help him perfect his latest concoction. He is impulsive, headstrong, and renowned for the brawls he starts, which often end in all-night parties and widespread property damage. Any appearance from Gragas must surely foreshadow merriment and destruction—in that order.
Abilities
Barrel Roll
Gragas rolls his cask to a location, which can be activated to explode or will explode on its own after 4 seconds. The potency of the explosion increases over time. Enemies struck by the blast have their Move Speed slowed.
Drunken Rage
Gragas samples his latest brew for 1 second. After finishing, he becomes boisterous and belligerent, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies on his next basic attack and reducing damage received.
Body Slam
Gragas charges to a location and collides with the first enemy unit he comes across, dealing damage to all nearby enemy units and stunning them.
Explosive Cask
Gragas hurls his cask to a location, dealing damage and knocking back enemies caught in the blast radius.
