Learn how to play with Graves with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Graves's Q explodes almost instantly when hitting terrain instead of after 2 seconds. Look to fight near walls or in the jungle to maximize his damage output.
Skirmish Team Fight
Graves's shotgun attacks fire in a cone, making him deadly in narrow passages. When possible, force fights in jungle corridors or river entrances to maximize his damage potential.
Skirmish Team Fight
When Graves uses his W (Smoke Screen), enemies inside have severely limited vision. Time your skillshots and engage abilities when enemies are nearsighted for easier hits and coordination.
Team Fight Skirmish
Graves's shotgun pellets stop at the first enemy hit. When he's ganking your lane, try to position so that minions aren't between him and the target to maximize his damage output.
Basic Lane Phase
At level 3, Graves becomes a strong duelist with his full basic ability kit. Be ready to respond to invades or assist him in early skirmishes around scuttle crab or objectives.
Basic Skirmish
Graves is vulnerable to crowd control as he's relatively squishy. When fighting alongside him, save your CC abilities to peel enemies off him rather than using them early in the fight.
Team Fight Skirmish
In team fights, Graves deals the most damage when he can hit multiple enemies with his cone attacks. Position to help create frontline/backline separation that allows him to access priority targets.
Advanced Team Fight
Each of Graves's shotgun pellets that hit an enemy reduces his E (Quickdraw) cooldown by 0.5 seconds. Help clear paths for him to hit multiple targets to increase his mobility in extended fights.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Graves has strong objective control, making him effective at taking Drake and Rift Herald. Prioritize being in position to assist him when these objectives spawn.
Skirmish
Graves's R causes him to recoil 400 units in the opposite direction of casting. Be aware of this movement when positioning for follow-up during ganks or team fights.
