How it works
General
- You play as Mage building Burn items.
- You rush Liandry's Torment.
- You burn your enemies. With DOTs. And debuffs.
How to play
General
- Playing AP Burn Graves build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
- Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
- Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
- An enemy team has an extremely strong shielding? You can get Serpent's Fang to counter it. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
- Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
- If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!
Graves AP Burn specific
- This is the burn version of AP Graves.
- Playstyle is to spam Smoke Screen (W) and Collateral Damage (R) off cooldown and apply the burn effects from Liandry's Torment.
- Imperial Mandate will proc from your Smoke Screen (W) even after it dealt initial damage.
- You can also spam End of the Line (Q), but for this you probably need some mana items (Muramana).
Tips and Tricks
General
- You do more damage the closer you are to your target.
- Use auto attack reset (AA + Quickdraw (E) + AA). If you time it properly, you can have two almost instant AA for big burst damage.
- Combo for big damage: AA + Q + E + AA.
Riot
- Smoke Screen can be used both to escape and to set up a kill.
- Using Quickdraw to get into range and delivering a point blank Buckshot can do lots of damage.
