Graves Matchups Overview

Graves General information

Graves tips and tricks

Aim your End of the LineQ so it pushes the minion wave and hits the enemy at the same time. This will give you the most value for your mana pool.

You can cancel auto-attack animations with your QuickdrawE. Never use your QuickdrawE if you have 2 auto attacks available as your QuickdrawE will reset 1 auto.

Your QuickdrawE and Ultimate Collateral DamageR can be used to chase or escape sticky situations. You can also use both of them to get over walls.
