Description

Building spirit on Graves early mostly sucks. She is a debuff hero that scales. Don't try to be too active early, mostly focus on pressuring lanes and showing up to objectives. You are an AREA CONTROL HERO.

Item Build

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_Lane

Left to right, can go 1 green item before Active Reload if lane is hard.

Deadlock Item

I

Colpo curativo

Try to always hit heroes off cooldown, can't miss it. By far the best laning item on Graves.

Deadlock Item

Ricarica attiva

This allows you to take longer trades which is exactly what Graves wants to take advantage of her Essence Theft.

Deadlock Item

Salute extra

Allows you to take longer trades and not get bursted

Deadlock Item

I

Stamina extra

2 stamina hero with low mobility, extra stam always mandatory

Deadlock Item

III

Pallottole tossiche

By far the best damage item on this hero, main reason is it allows you to do damage while you're reloading. Don't forget melees refresh the duration.

Deadlock Item

II

Infondere

Tempo di ricarica compresso

Your ultimate is one of your best abilities. Cooldown on it is mandatory.

Deadlock Item

Infondere

Amplificatore di durata

Duration also good, works with active reload, all of your abilities, as well as toxic/inhib/etc.

Obiezione

Good if they melee your tombstone often

Deadlock Item

I

Attiva

Rito curativo

buy if you are very hurt

Deadlock Item

Aura eroica

This is great if they have a lot of gun damage and also if you want to amplify your skull's damage. Best if you go Echo Shard later.

Deadlock Item

II

Accelerazione di ricarica

only buy if you are consistently running out of charges on your 1

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

Generally left to right, but prioritize what you need. Pick up some defensive items on the right earlier if needed.

Skip this if they have no gun damage, but almost always great buy

ALWAYS first 6.4k - reduces their damage significantly and makes you way tankier (35%+ more eHP)

Mid-Game Defense

Warp stone best if you can

Deadlock Item

Attiva

Pietra deformante

The preferred defensive option as it allows you to keep debuffing people easily and keep your movement unpredictable.

Deadlock Item

Attiva

Dissipatore di magie

Great against debuffs or disarm

Deadlock Item

III

Controincantesimo

Good vs heavy burst predictable abilities (lash, yamato, pocket, etc.)

Not always needed but sometimes nice, you get a lot of spirit resist from your Essence Theft but if they have a lot of spirit damage, might be needed.

Deadlock Item

Usually not needed, but if getting melted by a weapon damage hero, good buy

Once you have inhibitor
