Graves
Graves 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.
- On-hit effects have a variety of interactions with New Destiny:
- Charge based on-hit effects like Energized or cooldown based on-hit effects like Spellblade will apply to the first target hit, and are not guaranteed to affect his attack target.
- 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 are also damaged by Graves' attacks.
- Black Cleaver will apply 1 stack to the enemy each individual pellet hits, stacking multiple times if multiple pellets hit the same target.
- Randuin's Omen's critical damage reduction will apply to every pellet.
- Given the right circumstances pellets can go around and beyond the intended target thus damaging other enemies.
- 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.
- If Graves is
- Structures will intercept and be hit by multiple pellets, as with other valid targets.
- Units that take modified damage ( wards) can only be damaged by one pellet per attack and will not intercept additional ones.
- Units that take modified damage (
- 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).
- 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.
