Damage
804Gragas
913Irelia
Irelia heavily out-damages Gragas by 109 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Gragas should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Irelia's sustained damage advantage take over.

Irelia generates a commanding 1,300 more gold per game than Gragas. This substantial economic advantage means Irelia consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.5Gragas
0.7Irelia
Gragas brings significantly more crowd control than Irelia, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Gragas far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,345Gragas
