Graves vs Warwick

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Graves's fast, healthy clears to maintain tempo and contest camps against Warwick's slower clear.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle fights only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Warwick's strong early dueling.
Focus on snowballing through counter-jungling and ranged skirmishes to leverage Graves's scaling advantage over Warwick's early fight strength.

Jungle Plan

Path to invade Warwick's jungle when you have lane priority and Warwick is visible on opposite side or ganking.
Use fast clears to maintain tempo and pressure dragon or Rift Herald setups when Warwick commits to farming.
Track Warwick's early pathing to counter-gank lanes where he applies pressure, leveraging Graves's ranged burst and mobility to punish overextensions.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting Warwick when he has full health and (E) ready, as his fear and damage reduction can turn trades.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or invading when Warwick's lanes lack pressure and he can counter-gank with (R).
Respect Warwick's level 6 (R) suppression for picks around objectives; avoid isolated river fights without vision and lane support.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 quickly and prepare for early river contest or invade.
Avoid fighting Warwick early if lanes lack priority or Warwick shows on predictable gank paths; instead, focus on healthy clears and vision control.
Contest the first Scuttle Crab only when your lanes can move first and provide support to mitigate Warwick's strong early dueling and sustain.

Power spikes

Graves spikes at level 3 with full kit and clear speed; use this to contest camps and force fights before Warwick reaches sustain power.
Warwick's level 3 spike with sustain and fear demands Graves avoid extended trades without cooldowns ready.
Warwick's level 6 suppression is a major threat; Graves must bait or sidestep (R) and punish after it is missed or on cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert clear speed and ranged dueling into sustained counter-jungling and objective control, especially dragon and Rift Herald.
Use lane priority to secure river vision and force Warwick into unfavorable fights or away from key camps.
Punish Warwick's cooldowns and missed (R) to create picks and snowball leads that deny his early dueling and scaling impact.
