Graves S11 Jungle or mid
Grave jungle S11: find in this guide all the information on Graves to manage the jungle well in league of legends season 11!
Why Graves?
Graves is a staple of the jungle in League of Legends, and here are the main reasons!
- A crazy clear jungle speed, allowing you to farm very quickly but also to manage objectives without worry
- A very good resistance for a "semi-range", allowing to be placed offensively
- Very good management of 1v1s
- A perfect kit: depush A, CC and anti-vision Z, dodge and dash with E
How is Graves played
When you see Graves, you tell yourself that the character could be simple, but be careful, he requires a good mastery and some tips to know to really be able to make him shine.
| Black | Effet | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| P New destiny |
Your rifle has 4 bullets, dealing more damage if multiple hits and knocking back jungle creeps. |
It will be necessary to timer your rifle, it is one of the critical point of Graves. Manage your distance to hit as many balls as possible without committing too much! |
| At Terminus |
Round trip with a shell, doing damage both ways |
Be careful, the range is short and the spell is not easy to aim well. To heal and tempo |
| Z Smoke screen |
Decreases the vision of enemies inside |
For me its best fate, ultra practical in teamfight and 1v1 |
| E Gold rush |
Dash and reload 1 bullet from Graves' gun, and give him armor |
Ultra practical, allows you to have mobility, armor and DPS. Try to keep 8 armor stacks as often as possible |
| R Collateral damage |
Shell in line then explosive cone at the end, pushes back Graves |
One of the most complicated ulti to use, either as a finisher or as a flanker. Watch out for recoil away from the target! |
Fast build or big damage?
I show you two builds to manage Graves well. Although the current meta would be more focused on critical damage, the Lethality build offers some good benefits. You can also do a mixed, such as taking critical items with rapido runes.
- The big cannon build will allow you to obliterate the enemies and the jungle, without any worries. As soon as you have three items (and a few kills for the life stealing runes), you will be able to do the solo nash, which is obviously super useful. The big gun build is a bit more suited to mid, because you need less to move around than in the jungle.
- The rapidos build will allow you to gank more easily, but will give you less opportunity to "carry" your fights. However, you can very easily gank and kill enemy champions to put your team in the right situation!
