Track: Graves's E — Quickdraw (16–12s cooldown). His dash + armor stacks. Engage when it's down.
Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Graves.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | Graves has only two shells and no E dash to escape at level 1 — your Q-Vital poke and the threat of an early Riposte win the short trade. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | Your level-2 E (Bladework) lands a guaranteed-crit Vital before his E dash is up, and he cannot dash away from the follow-up Lunge. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | He hits 3 and gains the E dash plus reload uptime to kite your Q, so the lane levels out into a spacing battle. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | He chains Quickdraw with Smoke Screen, which shrinks your sight range so you lose him mid-chase — neither side cleanly wins the trade. |
| Level 6 | Fiora | Grand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal zone swings the all-in your way if you pin him against a wall after his E dash is spent. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Trinity Force spike plus a parried shotgun blast gives you a kill, but his smoke-blind and E dash make it a coinflip rather than a stomp. |
| Two+ items | Graves | Tanky-built Graves reclaims it — he kites with E, blinds your Vitals in W smoke, and out-bursts you with multi-pellet shotgun autos from range. |
Graves has only two shells and no E dash to reset position at level 1-2, so this is your window: Q in for a Vital, weave an auto, and back out before he reloads. Respect his point-blank shotgun spread — it chunks hard if you facecheck it, so bait the shells then commit. Hold Riposte for that burst rather than throwing it on a single pellet; parrying the shotgun blast blocks the damage and the slow lets your Q chase him down (it only stuns if you parry hard CC, which Graves does not have).
