Who Wins

  • You lose early trades pre-6 due to Graves' superior burst damage and range advantage with Q+auto combos.
  • Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R engage potential, but Graves still wins extended trades if he manages his E stacks properly.

How to Trade

  • Look for quick Q3-W-auto-E back trades when Graves uses abilities on minions or mispositions.
  • Avoid extended trades since his sustained damage with E armor/MR stacks and auto-attacks will outdamage your kit.

Wave Control

  • Push early waves to hit level 6 first, then look to freeze near your tower to set up R engages.
  • Graves struggles to break freezes safely due to his short range, giving you more control over when fights happen.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use E aggressively without your Q3 tornado ready, as Graves can easily punish your return with W blind and burst combo.
  • Never fight in minion waves where his Q can hit multiple targets for increased damage.
