How it works

General

  1. You go Blue color items!
  2. You slow, kite and deal damage.

How to play

General

  1. It is all about being Blue!
  2. As Graves playing Blue build you will have good kitting (thanks to Iceborn Gauntlet and tons of Ability Haste) and good damage (BoTRK, Titanic, Muramana). Play like bruiser, but remember that you will be squishy early game and more tanky later on.
  3. You have two rush options. Either rush Titanic Hydra or Iceborn Gauntlet. Titanic Hydra for more damage, Iceborn Gauntlet for more tankiness. Also you can try BoTRK for this build.
  4. You can go more tanky or more damage, depending on the enemy team. Adapt!
  5. With Font of Life, you will be healing your allies.
  6. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You do more damage the closer you are to your target.
  2. Use auto attack reset (AA + Quickdraw (E) + AA). If you time it properly, you can have two almost instant AA for big burst damage.
  3. Combo for big damage: AA + Q + E + AA.

Riot

  1. Smoke Screen can be used both to escape and to set up a kill.
  2. Using Quickdraw to get into range and delivering a point blank Buckshot can do lots of damage.
