Scuttle Contest
- You lose scuttle fights at level 3 due to Graves' range and kiting ability, so avoid direct confrontations unless you can land W from brush.
- From level 6, you only win 1v1s when you can R onto him in enclosed spaces or when his E is on cooldown, forcing him into melee range where your sustain and DPS excel.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Graves will likely full clear starting bot side, then look to contest top scuttle around 3:20-3:30 with his level advantage.
- He'll prioritize farming efficiently and look for counter-ganks or invades when you're low from clearing camps.
Invade or Not
- Yes, but only invade when you know his E is on cooldown or when you can approach from an unexpected angle through lane.
- Optimal timing is early game (levels 3-5) at his red buff area, where you can use walls and brushes to land W and force extended trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Graves in open areas where he can kite you with E and auto-attacks, as you'll take significant damage without being able to retaliate.
- Avoid fighting him when you're low on health from jungle clears, as his burst combo can easily finish you before your sustain becomes relevant.
