Graves
GameplayGraves is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- The in-game HUD displays Graves' reload speed in place of his attack speed. This is a visual bug, and his attack speed behaves normally.
- His reload speed is in the form of reloads per second:
- Graves' bonus attack speed growth and the cap affect his reload speed, making his bonus attack speed more worth after each level.
- Reload speed: Scales less the more attack speed you have until 150% bonus attack speed (not included growth). Going over that will decrease the reload speed until capping at 200% bonus attack speed.
- The reload time after firing both shells and the time before the reloading starts while sitting on one shell are the same, of 2.08 seconds. They're then reduced by bonus attack speed, to a minimum of 1.54 − 1.12 (based on level) seconds.
- Reload speed at 150% bonus attack speed: 0.651 − 0.891 (based on level).
- The reload time with one shell is 1.3 seconds.
- Graves' attack windup is based on such a low value that it will always take only 1 game tick, even at the lowest possible attack speed (0.2AS).
- When Graves' has his range increased by 35% to 573.75 via Rapid Firecannon, it has special effects on his cone spread:
- The reach of the individual missiles is also increased by 35% to 843.75 / 783.75.
- The spread of the individual missiles is decreased by 35% (angle × 1/1.35) to 17.7° / 22.2°.
- The reduced spread means that the empowered attack can deal adequate damage in a scaled-up cone.
- The reach of the individual missiles is also increased by 35% to
- Given the right circumstances pellets can fly past and beyond the intended target without colliding with them, and thus collide with other enemies.
- Because the first pellet to hit an enemy deals unreduced damage, this can increase the total damage of the attack dealt, but spread across more targets instead.
- If Graves is blinded pellets will fly (still in a cone) in a random direction (excluding his target's) but he can still damage nearby enemy units hit by pellets.
- Structures will intercept and can be hit by multiple pellets, as with other valid targets.
- Wards and Jungle plants will not intercept pellets, and instead be triggered by a hiden homing attack missile (3000 missile speed, 3400 on crit), reminiscent of the more standard ranged attack of pre-rework Graves.
- Graves will not collaterally damage wards or jungle plants, and blocking pellets from reaching the target ward or jungle plant will not prevent Graves from damaging them.
- The first pellet to hit an enemy deals basic damage, additional ones to hit the same enemy from the same attack deal default damage.
- Because of this, only the first pellet to hit each enemy applies on-hit effects (see further details below).
- The additional pellets still apply life steal.
- Warden's Mail only reduces damage from the first pellet to hit its wearer.
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 Randuin's Omen's damage reduction to critical damage will apply to the damage of each pellet from a critical buckshot.
- Attack effects have a variety of interactions with New Destiny:
- On-hit effects are dealt to each stuck target, but not multiple times to the same target by subsequent pellets from the same attack.
- The order is based on the order in which the targets are hit. "Single-use" on-hit effects (e.g. Spellblade) will be applied to the first enemy hit; the closest one.
- The order is based on the order in which the targets are hit. "Single-use" on-hit effects (e.g.
- On-Action Effects such as Help, Pix! and Runaan's Hurricane will be triggered, and still obey their standard target-acquisition rules. Wind's Fury can select secondary targets that will also be damaged by collision from Graves' attack.
- Energized is special and will be applied by a hidden homing attack missile (3000 missile speed, 3400 on crit), reminiscent of the more standard ranged attack of pre-rework Graves. The effect is therefore guaranteed to affect his attack target.
- Black Cleaver triggers on every instance of physical damage, so it will apply 1 stack when each individual pellet hits, stacking multiple times if multiple pellets hit the same target (Armor reduction does not take effect until the automatic stat update).
- Spell shields can only block one instance of the ability's damage.
- Wind Wall will destroy the projectile entirely and mitigate all effects, including the trail on the ground.
- Unbreakable is considered to be terrain for the purposes of the projectile, triggering its second effect.
- End of the Line will cast from wherever Graves is at the end of the cast time.
- Smoke Screen will nearsight untargetable units.
- Spell shields will block the instance of damage and slow, but will not mitigate the persistent area of effect.
- Crowd control immunity and cleanses have no effect on the user's sight radius reduction despite the nearsight being resisted / removed. Loss of allied vision will still be affected.
- Removing or resisting the nearsight will prevent it from being reapplied while staying inside the area (leaving and coming back inside will not).
- The nearsight debuff applies to non-champions but it does not inherently stop them from performing actions that require sight, such as basic attacking.
- Graves gains the one additional stack of True Grit from Quickdraw if at any point during the dash a visible enemy champion is in front of Graves within 1300 distance.
- Enemy champions have to be targetable to grant the additional stack.
- The additional stack of True Git is gained when dashing towards clones just like actual champions.
- This check never happens if Graves dashes 0 distance (impossible outside of bugs), and will not always repeat a final time at the very end of the dash. Otherwise, it occurs continously while Graves is dashing.
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 Exact angle requirement.
- Applies spell damage to the target hit by the shell and area damage to targets within the explosion cone.
- The projectile will still explode early if the champion hit by the shell is protected by a spell shield.
- The explosion cone is anchored on the location of the shell missile when it collided with a champion, or otherwise its maximum cast range.
- Collateral Damage is disabled while grounded but not while rooted.
- Graves will not dash after the cast time if he is airborne.
- Collateral Damage will fire from wherever Graves is at the end of the cast time.
