Optional Summoner Spells

Exhaust

Exhaust

Defensive option. Exhaust for peeling against enemy divers and assassins and protecting yourself.

Heal

Heal

Classic ADC option. Gives you and a teammate a burst of movement speed and health in clutch moments.

Cleanse

Cleanse

Underrated, not super easy to use, requires skill and getting used to it, but very good option. It is blessing if you pick it blindly against heavy CC comps. Frees you from disables and exhaust to keep you dealing damage.

How it works

  1. You build 100% crit, lots of AD, and attack speed to melt the enemy team.
  2. ADC Graves is a late-game scaling powerhouse.
  3. Your goal is to become the primary carry for your team.

How to play

Getting started

  1. Play carefully early on until you get some core items.
  2. Usually a good rush item is The Collector.
  3. Don't rush Infinity Edge. It scales off of your other crit items, so usually go for it as your #2 or #3 item.

Adapting

  1. Adapt to the enemy team. If they have lots of tanks or start stacking Armor, prioritize Lord Dominik's Regards early.
  2. If you are facing heavy AP burst or assassins, items like Immortal Shieldbow or Maw of Malmortius can save your life.

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.
