Passive, spells and ultimate

New Destiny (P)

Graves' shotgun has some unique properties. He must reload when he runs out of ammo. Attacks fire 4 bullets, which cannot pass through units. Non-champions struck by multiple bullets are knocked back.

Playing as Sejuani

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land both Winter's Wrath swings

    Land both Winter's Wrath (W) swings: the second deals most of the damage and slows, and each one applies a Frost stack.

  2. Permafrost at 4 Frost stacks

    Cast Permafrost (E) as soon as your target has 4 Frost stacks: Winter's Wrath (W) and your melee allies' autos apply them.

  3. Shatter your stunned target

    Hit a target you just stunned: Fury of the North (passive) shatters them for heavy magic damage.

  4. Engage with Arctic Assault

    Engage with Arctic Assault (Q): enemies you pass through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.

  5. Glacial Prison from a distance

    Cast Glacial Prison (R) at their carry from far enough away: past a quarter of its range, the stun lasts longer and a storm slows nearby enemies.

Playing against Graves

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep units between you and him

    Stay behind your minions or your frontline: the 4 bullets of each New Destiny (passive) auto can't pass through units.

  2. Hit him from outside his range

    If you're ranged, hit him from a distance: his autos only reach 425, and New Destiny (passive) forces him to reload when his shotgun is empty.

  3. Get out of his smoke

    Leave Smoke Screen (W) quickly rather than fighting inside it: the smoke slows you and cuts off all vision outside it.

  4. Drag the game out

    If your team scales better over time, play for time: Graves is strongest in the early and mid game.
