Fiddlesticks vs Graves

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and reach level 6 before contesting Graves to leverage your stronger scaling and ambush potential.
Avoid early river fights and invades before you have vision control and level advantage, as Graves excels at early skirmishes and counter-invades.
Use your ultimate to control objectives and force fights on your terms, turning vision denial into teamfight impact.

Jungle Plan

Focus on full clears and track Graves’s pathing to anticipate and avoid his early invade windows.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to minimize counter-gank risk and secure river control.
Use your ultimate from fog of war to set up ambushes around dragon and Rift Herald, converting vision denial into objective control.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Graves can use his dash and burst to punish you.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Graves’s laners have priority and can collapse first.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights early leave you vulnerable to Graves’s strong early dueling and counter-jungling.

Early game

Execute a full clear efficiently to hit level 6 before Graves can apply early invade pressure or contest Scuttle.
Avoid early river contests unless your lanes have clear priority to reduce risk of being counter-invaded by Graves.
Use resets to sweep and place control wards around dragon and Herald before engaging in objective fights.

Power spikes

At level 6, use your ultimate to create high-impact ganks and objective fights that Graves must respect.
Graves’s early clear speed and dueling power require you to avoid fights before level 6 and rely on pathing to stay safe.
Your scaling into mid and late game outpaces Graves, so prioritize reaching key item and level thresholds before forcing fights.

Win conditions

Power farm efficiently to level 6 and deny Graves vision with control wards to enable surprise ultimate engages.
Use your ultimate to secure or force objectives like dragon and Rift Herald, leveraging Graves’s medium objective control.
Counter-jungle Graves when he shows on predictable paths and use your superior scaling to win mid-to-late game teamfights.
