Graves General information
Graves tips and tricks
When duelling an enemy champion, position your Q towards a wall so it explodes quickly.
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.
