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
새로운 운명그레이브즈의 산탄총에는 몇 가지 특징이 있습니다. 총탄이 떨어지면 총을 새로 장전해야 합니다. 공격 시 4개의 탄환이 발사되며 유닛을 관통해서 공격할 수 없습니다. 챔피언이 아닌 유닛이 탄환을 여러 개 맞으면 뒤로 밀려납니다.
Q
화약 역류그레이브즈가 탄환을 발사합니다. 탄환은 발사 1초 뒤 또는 지형에 충돌 시 폭발합니다.
Strong: two shells hit hardest at point-blank where both pellets land. Weak: space out so only part of his Q connects.
W
연막탄그레이브즈가 목표 지점에 연막탄을 발사하여 시야를 좁히는 연기 구름을 만들어냅니다. 처음으로 연막탄에 맞은 적은 마법 피해를 입고 잠시 동안 이동 속도가 감소합니다.
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
빨리 뽑기그레이브즈가 전방으로 돌진하여 몇 초 동안 방어력과 마법 저항력이 상승하며, 적 챔피언을 향해 돌진할 경우에는 진정한 용기가 두 번 중첩됩니다. 기본 공격으로 적을 명중시키면 스킬 재사용 대기시간이 감소하고 추가 방어력 및 마법 저항력 지속시간이 초기화됩니다.
R
무고한 희생자그레이브즈가 폭발성 탄환을 발사하여 처음 맞은 챔피언에게 큰 피해를 입힙니다. 탄환은 챔피언을 맞히거나 사거리 끝까지 날아간 다음 폭발하여 원뿔 형태의 범위에 피해를 줍니다.
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.
