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 Evelynn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off as soon as she marks you

    Back off toward your tower as soon as Allure (W) marks you: if the mark lasts 2.5 seconds, her next hit charms you and lowers your magic resist.

  2. Place a Control Ward

    Once she hits level 6, place a Control Ward on her paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, like Evelynn in Demon Shade (passive).

  3. Save your CC for her arrival

    If you have CC, use it as soon as she comes out of camouflage on you: Last Caress (R) is her only way to become untargetable and get away.

  4. Play hard before she hits 6

    Play hard before she hits level 6: without the Demon Shade (passive) camouflage, your wards see her coming.
