How to Play This Matchup
Early Aggression
Graves needs to punish Gwen before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Gwen reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.
Mixed Resistances
Graves deals AD damage while Gwen deals AP. Build resistances accordingly  don't stack the wrong type.
Hit and Run
Graves needs to combo and back off. Don't stay in extended trades against Gwen's sustained damage. Short trades, then disengage.
Range Advantage

Graves Win Condition
Fast clear, invade, burst squishies, grit stacking
