What makes Graves dangerous
Graves fires two shotgun shells for heavy close-range burst, dashes with his E (gaining armor), and his smoke (W) blinds and slows. He's a strong early-game skirmisher and duelist who builds like a bruiser-carry, out-trading most junglers in a straight fight.
How to play against Graves
- 1His shells hit hardest at close range where both pellets land — space out so only part of his Q connects.
- 2His E dash gives armor stacks — don't dump AD burst right as he dashes. Trade when his E is on cooldown.
- 3Don't fight inside his W smoke — it blinds you (autos miss) and slows. Step out of the cloud.
- 4He's strong early — respect his level 3-6 duels. Track his aggressive pathing and counter-gank.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Damage falls off outside close range.
- ✓Smoke blind only affects auto-attacks.
- ✓E armor is temporary — punish when it's down.
- ✓Reload window between shots leaves him vulnerable.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Graves's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
ニュー・デスティニーショットガンには独特の特性がある。弾を撃ち尽くしたらリロードが必要となる。通常攻撃は弾丸を4発発射する。弾丸はユニットを貫通しない。チャンピオン以外のユニットは、複数の弾丸が命中するとノックバックする。
Q
エンドライン爆薬の詰まった弾を発射する。弾は発射してから1秒後、あるいは地形に当たると爆発する。
Strong: two shells hit hardest at point-blank where both pellets land. Weak: space out so only part of his Q connects.
W
スモークスクリーン指定地点に発煙弾を発射し、煙幕を発生させて範囲内の敵の視界を低下させる。着弾時の爆発に巻き込まれた敵は魔法ダメージを受け、一時的に移動速度が低下する。
Strong: smoke blinds (autos miss) and slows to zone a fight. Weak: it only stops auto-attacks — step out of the cloud and use abilities.
E
クイックドローグレイブスが前方にダッシュして物理防御と魔法防御が数秒間増加する。敵チャンピオンに向かってダッシュすると、代わりに「確固たる信念」を2スタック獲得する。敵ユニットに通常攻撃を行うと、このスキルのクールダウンが短縮され、防御力増加時間が更新される。
R
コラテラルダメージ強力な炸裂弾を発射して、最初に命中した敵チャンピオンに大ダメージを与える。弾は敵チャンピオンに命中するか、最大射程に達すると炸裂し、扇状の範囲内にいる敵にダメージを与える。
Itemization
Graves is a burst AD skirmisher. Space out of his close-range shells, avoid his W smoke, and armor plus attack-speed slows blunt him. Punish his reload and E-down windows.
