Graves vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Graves's fast clear and strong dueling to control jungle tempo and invade Viego before he can scale.
Prioritize river control and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to deny Viego reset opportunities.
Snowball through early tempo leads to limit Viego's ability to contest objectives and skirmishes.

Jungle Plan

Path to invade or counter-jungle when Viego shows on predictable gank routes or after his first clear.
Use lane priority to secure river vision and control dragon entrances before contesting objectives.
Focus on tempo management by cycling camps quickly and punishing Viego's slower clear speed to deny him scaling farm.

Danger windows

Beware of (W) stun in river fights where he can start a reset chain after a takedown.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Viego can capitalize on resets and execute with (R).
Respect windows when Viego has lane priority enabling him to approach with (E) camouflage for surprise engages.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for invade windows before Viego completes his first clear.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and you can avoid (E) camouflage approach.
Avoid isolated river fights early where Viego can stun with (W) and reset with (R) after takedowns.

Power spikes

Graves spikes early with fast clears and strong ranged dueling; use this to force Viego off camps pre-item power spikes.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) spike that enables resets and repositioning; avoid fights if he secures first takedown.
Punish Viego before he completes his first fighter item when his sustained dueling and reset potential is lower.

Win conditions

Use superior clear speed and dueling to invade and deny Viego jungle camps early, snowballing tempo leads.
Control river vision and coordinate with lanes to contest Scuttle and dragon, preventing Viego from triggering resets.
Translate early skirmish advantages into objective control and limit Viego's ability to scale into sustained fights.
