Sejuani should focus on controlled pathing that leverages melee-lane synergy to maximize gank threat and avoid early isolated duels against Graves's strong invade and dueling power.
Prioritize river control and grouped objective setups where Sejuani's engage and CC can create picks and secure fights, aligning with her late-game teamfight scaling.
Jungle Plan
Secure first Scuttle only when lane priority and vision guarantee safe river control, denying Graves early tempo advantages.
Invade Graves's jungle camps only when his position is tracked on the opposite side and allied lanes can collapse to stack CC.
Use tempo leads to prioritize dragon, Rift Herald, and Void Grubs control, forcing grouped fights where Sejuani's engage and frontline excel and denying Graves scaling.
Danger windows
Graves's early invade and river control windows are high risk; avoid blind fog checks and isolated fights before securing vision and lane priority.
Sejuani is vulnerable after using mobility, Smite, or defensive cooldowns; avoid forced smite fights or low-health clears.
Losing lane priority around Scuttle, dragon, or Herald can turn river contests dangerous where Graves can punish isolated positioning.
Early game
Start with a full or controlled clear path aimed at lanes with melee setup to maximize early gank pressure before Graves reaches his level 3 invade window.
Approach first river Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority and vision to safely contest and prevent Graves from snowballing tempo.
Avoid blind invades and direct early fights; instead, use cross-map camps or gank opposite side if Graves aggressively contests river.
Power spikes
Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range engage, enabling Sejuani to start fights or ganks around objectives without walking into melee first; use this to force grouped fights.
First completed tank item increases durability and clear speed, improving frontline presence and objective contesting power.
Two tank items solidify frontline role, allowing Sejuani to absorb cooldowns and set up CC chains while Graves remains vulnerable to grouped engagements.
Win conditions
Translate jungle tempo into objective control by securing vision and forcing grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs where Sejuani's CC chains shine.
Deny Graves free farm and scaling by tracking his camp routes and counter-jungling safely to restrict his tempo and pressure.
If outnumbered in river fights, trade the tempo into top-side camps or vision control to maintain scaling and set up future objective advantages.
