The jungle race — the windows in Sejuani's plan

Read from Sejuani's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Graves.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearDanger — Avoid GravesDo not be seen at the first buff: True Grit armor plus point-blank double-shot autos win any close-range brawl. On top of that, End of the Line plus knockback autos shred melees holding a buff pit, so they get there first. Fight him in the open where his pellets spread, never inside a tight buff pit. Skip the level-1 crossing and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands.
Level 2 SkirmishDanger — Avoid GravesHard no-contest for Sejuani at level 2: Quickdraw (E) True Grit armor stacking lets them out-trade in tight jungle lanes, and True Grit armor plus point-blank double-shot autos win any close-range brawl. Fight him in the open where his pellets spread, never inside a tight buff pit. Path opposite, ward your entrances, and let the clock carry you to your own spike.
Level 3 RouteDanger — Avoid GravesTrue Grit armor plus point-blank double-shot autos win any close-range brawl. Smoke Screen's blind caps a kit that wins almost every close-quarters exchange on top of that, so level 3 is a straight stat check Sejuani loses — fight him in the open where his pellets spread, never inside a tight buff pit, and give the river vision-line respect.
Levels 4-5 MacroDanger — Avoid GravesThis is a no-contest window: he uses 4-5 to take your camps, because True Grit stacking makes him the better invader, and you have nothing that answers it. Full-clear the far side and let the objective timers carry you.
Level 6 BreakpointRespect Graves's RThe six-spike belongs to Graves, and Sejuani's does not bridge the gap: the R execute plus True Grit armor closes out any trade he starts ahead. Respect the burst threshold and fight him in the open, never the pit. Your own ultimate is a tool here, not a trump card — spend it to escape or equalize, not to start fights.
First Item SpikeSunfire Aegis SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive area-of-effect burn and health multiplier that completely overpowers traditional physical brawlers in extended fights. Graves' first item is a large step in raw damage — the double-shot at point blank starts removing squishies outright.
2+ Items ScalingRespect Graves Late — End EarlyThe full-build comparison goes to Graves: he shreds anything in a corridor and holds a side lane against most of the map. Play for picks and objectives, and end before the fight has to be fair.
