Graves into Fiddlesticksmedium

Overview

Use Graves's fast, healthy clears and strong early dueling to invade Fiddlesticks's weak early clear and low invade resistance.
Prioritize river entrance control and Scuttle crabs to deny Fiddlesticks vision and delay his level 6 power spike.
Snowball early tempo leads through counter-jungling to keep Fiddlesticks behind and reduce his teamfight impact.

Jungle Plan

Path camps to maximize clear speed and health, then invade or counter-jungle when Fiddlesticks shows on the opposite side or after his first clear.
Fight for river control and Scuttle crabs only if nearby lanes have priority to deny Fiddlesticks vision and objective setup.
Use tempo leads to pressure dragon and Rift Herald entrances, forcing Fiddlesticks into reactive play and limiting his teamfight setups.

Danger windows

Beware of Fiddlesticks's level 6 ambush in fog of war; avoid isolated river fights without vision.
Avoid low-health clears near river where Fiddlesticks can force smite fights or counter-invades.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as Fiddlesticks can punish poor positioning with high gank threat.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for invade windows when Fiddlesticks is on predictable full clear paths.
Contest first Scuttle only with lane priority to avoid isolated fights and secure river control.
Avoid fighting Fiddlesticks early without vision since his level 6 can punish overextensions.

Power spikes

Spike at level 3 with strong dueling; use dash and burst to punish Fiddlesticks before level 6.
Respect Fiddlesticks's level 6 ultimate by avoiding isolated river fights and ensuring vision control.
Maintain tempo leads to capitalize on Graves's item scaling and stronger mid-game carry potential.

Win conditions

Convert fast, healthy clears and early dueling into consistent counter-jungling to deny Fiddlesticks farm and delay his level 6.
Use river and Scuttle control to secure dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Fiddlesticks into reactive play and limiting his teamfight setups.
Leverage ranged skirmishes and burst damage to snowball leads and pressure cross-map camps and objectives before Fiddlesticks scales.
