Braum vs Gragas Matchup Summary

The Braum vs Gragas matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Braum wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Gragas's 50.0%, giving Braum a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Gragas controls the early laning stage, but Braum outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Gragas needs to press advantages before Braum reaches their power spikes, while Braum should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in damage output, where Gragas leads by 239 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Braum has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Gragas's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
