Graves Jungle guide
Graves in the jungle is built around New Destiny (passive), Quickdraw (E), and End of the Line (Q): dash into range with Quickdraw (E) for the Armor and Magic Resist boost, follow with End of the Line (Q) as the explosive shell, then finish with basic attacks that fire four bullets per New Destiny (passive) reload before Collateral Damage (R) closes out anyone still standing.
The build
Rune page: Dark Harvest, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Treasure Hunter (Domination), with Legend: Alacrity and Triumph (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Quickdraw (E) at level 1, then maxes End of the Line (Q) first with Quickdraw (E) second. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Hubris, The Collector, Lord Dominik's Regards, with Infinity Edge, Immortal Shieldbow, and Youmuu's Ghostblade as later options.
Ability mechanics
New Destiny (passive) fires four bullets per attack that cannot pass through units, and non-champions hit by more than one bullet are knocked back; Graves must reload once the cylinder empties. Quickdraw (E) dashes him forward for an Armor and Magic Resist boost, granting two stacks of True Grit instead when the dash targets an enemy champion, and landing basic attacks lowers its cooldown and refreshes the boost. End of the Line (Q) detonates after a second in the open or immediately on hitting terrain, while Collateral Damage (R) hits the first champion in its path for heavy damage before exploding in a cone.
Matchups
Hardest matchups by win rate: Naafiri, Nocturne, Viego, Sylas, Kha'Zix. Best matchups: Jarvan IV, Kayn, Lee Sin.
