Playing as Graves

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Clear your line of fire

    Position with no minion between you and your target: each New Destiny (passive) auto fires 4 bullets that can't pass through units.

  2. Blind their carries

    Cast Smoke Screen (W) on their carries: inside the smoke, they're slowed and can't see anything outside it for 4 seconds.

  3. Back away as you fire your R

    Fire Collateral Damage (R) with your back to the danger: the shot knocks you backward, enough to reposition while dealing damage.

  4. Chain dashes during your clear

    Cast Quickdraw (E) often during your clear: it reloads a shell, gives armor and magic resist, and each bullet that hits lowers its cooldown.

Playing against Bel'Veth

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off from her true form

    Back off when she takes her true form with Endless Banquet (R): she gains health, range and attack speed, and with enough stacks, the form lasts until she dies.

  2. Dodge her tail slam

    Dodge Above and Below (W): if it hits you, you take a knock-up and her Void Surge (Q) in your direction is refreshed instantly.

  3. Don't be the lowest on health

    If you're the lowest-health enemy near her, get out of Royal Maelstrom (E) range: every slash targets you, and she gains lifesteal and damage reduction.

  4. Deny her camps and kills

    Deny her large monsters and kills: Death in Lavender (passive) gives her permanent attack speed for each one.
