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
Yeni KaderGraves'in tüfeği özgün niteliklere sahip. Cephanesi bitince tüfeğini yeniden doldurması gerekir. Saldırılar birimlerin içinden geçemeyen 4 mermi ateşler. Birden fazla merminin isabet ettiği şampiyon dışındaki birimler geri savrulur.
Q
Yolun SonuGraves, 1 saniye sonra veya yüzey şekline temas ettiğinde infilak eden bir patlayıcı kovan ateşler.
Strong: two shells hit hardest at point-blank where both pellets land. Weak: space out so only part of his Q connects.
W
Sis PerdesiGraves hedef alana sis bombası atarak, görüş menzilini azaltan bir sis bulutu oluşturur. Bomba, patlama anında isabet ettiği rakiplere büyü hasarı verir ve bu rakiplerin hareket hızını kısa süreliğine azaltır.
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
Hızlı TetikGraves ileri atılarak birkaç saniyeliğine zırh ve büyü direnci artışı kazanır. Graves bir rakip şampiyona doğru atılırsa iki Gerçek Hırs yükü kazanır. Rakiplere normal saldırı isabet ettirdiğinde bu yeteneğin bekleme süresi azalır ve direnç artışı yenilenir.
R
Parça TesiriGraves, vurduğu ilk şampiyona ağır hasar veren, patlayıcı bir fişek ateşler. Fişek bir şampiyona çarptıktan ya da azami menziline ulaştıktan sonra patlayarak, koni şeklinde bir alana hasar verir.
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.
