Viego vs Graves

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on skirmishes where (W) can start a stun chain and reset potential to snowball takedowns.
Avoid isolated early fights before your first item since Graves's faster clears and strong early dueling can punish you.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing through camps near lanes with priority to set up skirmishes where (W) can lock down targets.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle when your lanes can collapse quickly to leverage your reset threat.
Shadow Graves's pathing and be ready to counter-gank his early pressure to deny his tempo and camp control.

Danger windows

Be cautious of Graves's early invade windows when he can punish weak clears or isolated river fights.
Avoid low-health clears that leave you vulnerable to Graves's burst and (E) dash mobility.
Respect fights where Graves can use (W) smoke screen and (R) burst to disengage or reposition, especially before you have resets.

Early game

Start with a controlled clear that allows you to reach level 3 with healthy HP and nearby lane priority for river skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can assist to secure the takedown and deny Graves tempo.
Avoid early invades without lane support as Graves's clear speed and dueling power make solo fights risky.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks execution resets and repositioning; look for fights where a single low target can trigger a cleanup.
First fighter item completion increases your sustained dueling and reset potential; contest fights around lanes that can move first.
Graves's early clear speed and dueling power require you to respect his invade timing before you have item progress.

Win conditions

Use your strong skirmishing and reset threat to win river fights and snowball takedowns into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Leverage vision and lane priority to force Graves off camps and secure objectives safely.
Convert resets from skirmishes into objective pressure, denying Graves farm and tempo to scale effectively.
