Graves in ARAM is a burst ADC. Two autos + Q + R and squishies are dead. He's got tankiness from his E, burst from his Q, and his R is a long-range execute. The narrow lane makes his Q impossible to dodge. If you land it, they're chunked for half their HP.
Your E gives you bonus resistances every time you dash. Stack it up and you're tankier than most bruisers. You're not a normal ADC — you're a ranged bruiser.

Secondary (Sorcery):
- Nimbus Cloak — speed boost after R
- Gathering Storm — scales into late game

Fleet Footwork keeps you healthy and lets you kite. You're not a DPS ADC, you're a burst ADC.

How to Play Graves in ARAM
Auto → Q → Auto → R. That's your combo. Your Q fires a skillshot that explodes on first hit or at max range. If they're against a wall, it hits twice for double damage.
Combo: Auto → Q (against wall) → Auto → R
Your E dashes and reloads your gun. Use it to kite, dodge skillshots, and stack resistances.
ARAM-Specific Tips
Q against walls. If they're near a wall, your Q hits twice. Massive burst.
E stacks resistances. Every dash gives you bonus armor and MR. Stack it before fights.
R is an execute. Don't use it to poke. Save it for when they're low and trying to escape.
