How to win the jungle race as Graves against Sejuani · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Graves's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Sejuani.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Graves Dominant | End of the Line plus knockback autos shred melees holding a buff pit. There is no version of this Sejuani wins right now — Arctic Assault is engage utility, not duel damage, and that folds at the first buff. Show on their side of the river and take a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Graves Dominant | Quickdraw (E) True Grit armor stacking lets you out-trade in tight jungle lanes. Later in the game this bites, because the Arctic Assault knock-up into a Permafrost stun chains you into her gank follow-up. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Sejuani concedes. |
| Level 3 Route | Graves Dominant | Smoke Screen's blind caps a kit that wins almost every close-quarters exchange, while Arctic Assault is engage utility, not duel damage. Only one of those wins at the opening scuttle, so press it: take the level-3 river fight, then leave with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Graves Dominant — Keep Fighting | Levels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Sejuani, and she uses 4-5 to set up Permafrost ganks with a laner, since her own damage is not the threat. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Collateral Damage Favoured | Collateral Damage adds a dash-reset execute to your close-range shred. Glacial Prison turns any pick into a team kill, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Glacial Prison is the one on cooldown. |
| First Item Spike | Youmuu's / Umbral Glaive Spike | Completing your core lethality component grants a devastating physical damage and armor penetration spike that completely destabilizes their defensive stat builds. Your camp clearing mechanics become completely automated, letting you wipe whole sides in seconds before invading deep into their jungle tracks. Sejuani's first item is a durability spike — she does not start killing you, she starts being impossible to remove. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Graves Favoured at Full Build | Full-build math leans your way: extended fights and side-lane duels favor you over Sejuani — make late fights about 1v1s, not coin-flips. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health optimization via E shell resets, before executing a full 6-camp clear path straight down into the scuttle crab. Sejuani clears steadily with Winter's Wrath and Fury of the North keeps her health high, so she paths without recalling.

Graves takes Fleet Footwork on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Coup de Grace, and Domination secondary (Sudden Impact and Treasure Hunter) vs Sejuani.
Start Mosstomper Seedling + Health Potion and back for Serrated Dirk / Cloak of Agility — keep full-clearing into invades. Build Youmuu's / Umbral Glaive first, then Infinity Edge, with Plated Steelcaps / Berserker's Greaves.
