Rek'Sai into Gravesmedium

Overview

Use Rek'Sai's superior early pressure and fast clears to invade Graves before he gains tempo.
Prioritize river vision and Scuttle control to limit Graves's safe jungle access.
Exploit tunnel mobility to surprise gank and counter-invade around flashless lanes.

Use early tunnel ganks to pressure lanes lacking summoner spells and force Graves to respond.
Invade Graves's jungle after he uses aggressively or follows predictable paths.
Coordinate with lanes holding priority to secure dragon and Rift Herald control, denying Graves objectives.

Avoid isolated river fights when Graves has vision and red buff due to his ranged burst and dash.
Do not contest camps or objectives at low health or without tunnel escapes; Graves can force smite fights.
Respect Graves's counter-invade potential when lanes lack priority or your tunnels are on cooldown.

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early invade or gank.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid overextension.
Avoid extended fights if Graves shows clear health advantage; use tunnels to disengage safely.

Convert early tunnel gank pressure into repeated camp denial and objective control to snowball.
Use superior dueling and mobility to invade Graves when he overextends or wastes key cooldowns.
Leverage vision and lane priority to force Graves into reactive plays, denying his scaling and tempo.
