How to win lane as Graves against Camille · 44.44% win rate over 27 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Graves | Neither champion has a dash at level 1, but End of the Line out-ranges her short single-target Q — shove, poke, and last-hit safely while she's at her weakest. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even window once she has E: she gets the Hookshot stun, but you still have your point-blank 4-shell burst and a Quickdraw bait — whoever lands their tool first wins, so it's a skill check. |
| Level 3 | Camille | At 3 her E Hookshot wall-stun chains into Q's second-cast true damage and W's healing outer cone, out-trading your short effective range — don't step into her engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | Through 4-5 her E charges and Q true damage compound faster than your True Grit armor stacks, and Smoke Screen's blind cuts her vision but not her ability damage. |
| Level 6 | Camille | At 6 The Hextech Ultimatum walls you into a 1v1 the moment you're in range, denying your Quickdraw dash-out — this is her kill spike, not yours. |
| First item | Camille | Her first-item armor pen and W lifesteal extend the duel she already wins; your 4-shell burst can't out-DPS her sustained healing once the trade goes long. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Past 2 items her armor pen and W heal grind through your True Grit stacks, but your mobility and Collateral Damage nuke keep teamfights a coinflip if you're even — neither side clearly owns this if you grouped on time. |
Level 1 is your cleanest window — neither of you has a dash yet, so open with End of the Line to shove the wave and chunk her, and last-hit from max range where her short, single-target Q can't punish you back. The moment Camille picks up E, the lane tilts: her Hookshot dashes in and stuns on a wall, setting up Q's second-cast true-damage proc, and she heals off you with the true-damage outer half of her W cone. Don't walk up to throw a Q she can E-stun-punish — bait the Hookshot with a Quickdraw step instead, because its cooldown is long and she has almost no kill pressure without it.
