Graves General information
Graves tips and tricks
Aim your Q 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 E. Never use your E if you have 2 auto attacks available as your E will reset 1 auto.
Your E and Ultimate R can be used to chase or escape sticky situations. You can also use both of them to get over walls.
