How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Graves is strongest early game while Naafiri peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Mirror Playstyle
Both champions play a burst style. The one with better execution and itemization wins. Focus on spacing and cooldown tracking.
Range Advantage
Graves has range advantage. Naafiri should look for short trades when Graves uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Graves's Weakness
Graves's main weakness: Tanks, long-range poke, kiting. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Graves Win Condition
Fast clear, invade, burst squishies, grit stacking
