Key Insights

  • If Graves uses
    E
    while reloading, he can cast other abilities mid-dash.
  • If
    Q
    collides with a wall, it returns faster.
  • E
    resets Graves's auto attack.
  • E
    's bonus armor stacks up to 8 times.

Strengths

  • A well-placed
    W
    can win teamfights.
  • Best with items that enhance his physical damage, life steal, and armor penetration.
  • Has high burst damage with
    Q
    and
    R
    .
  • Scales well and has a strong early game. Has the option to play aggressively and invade the enemy jungler.

Weaknesses

  • Can be kited very easily by mobile champions.
  • R
    can be underwhelming in most situations past the mid-game, and is more commonly used for mobility over damage then.
  • Struggles against magic damage, as
    E
    only grants Armor.
