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


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


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


I
Додаткове здоров’я
Allows you to take longer trades and not get bursted


I
Додаткова витривалість
2 stamina hero with low mobility, extra stam always mandatory


III
Токсичні кулі
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.


II
Насичує
Компресія зарядки
Your ultimate is one of your best abilities. Cooldown on it is mandatory.


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


I
Протидія
Good if they melee your tombstone often


I
Дія
Лікувальний обряд
buy if you are very hurt


III
Дія
Аура героя
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.


II
Перезарядний ривок
only buy if you are consistently running out of charges on your 1
Generally left to right, but prioritize what you need. Pick up some defensive items on the right earlier if needed.


II
Вампіризм від куль
Allows you to take longer trades


III
Майстерна витривалість
Best mobility item for Graves


III
Чудова зарядка
Works on all your abilities and cheap upgrade


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


IV
Сповільнювач
ALWAYS first 6.4k - reduces their damage significantly and makes you way tankier (35%+ more eHP)
Warp stone best if you can


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


III
Дія
Розвіяння магії
Great against debuffs or disarm


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


III
Духовна стійкість
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.


III
Дія
Металева шкіра
Usually not needed, but if getting melted by a weapon damage hero, good buy
Situational, pick what you need


II
Дія
Роздільний постріл
You can buy this item WAY earlier if you are jungling a lot. Helps you clear T3 camps way easier.


IV
Знемовлювач
Great vs spell dependent heroes, if not an issue prioritize leech/ricochet


IV
Рикошет
Sell Split Shot if you buy this, very good if you are super late or slot locked


IV
Чаростріл
Good replacement for Active Reload once you are slot locked


IV
Насичує
Дія
Уламок відлуння
Better if you bought Heroic, usually not the best option but can give more damage


IV
Трансцендентна зарядка
Buy if you have nothing else to buy and are slot locked and have some active items


IV
Чаролам
Incredibly strong item - would probably buy most games if it's 30+ mins. Can completely shut down certain heroes and give Debuff Resistance.


IV
Дія
Нестримність
Almost mandatory if game is 40+ mins. Incredibly good for mid boss fights.


IV
Дія
Священний бар’єр
Good if you're a bit weaker and more supportive or need to remove certain ultimates (i.e. Pocket Ult)


IV
Лати
Become unkillable against gun heroes


IV
Дія
Оновлювач
Only buy if this can win you the next fight which would win the game (ex: mid boss fight wins the game)
