How to win lane as Graves against Quinn · 40% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | You have no Quickdraw charge and only point-blank shells at Level 1 — her Harrier empowered autos poke you for free every time you step to CS. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | She picks up Vault (E) and knocks you back on any Quickdraw approach, then Q (Blinding Assault) nearsights your reload shells so they whiff. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Fully online she kites with Harrier move-speed and nearsights you with Q while you reload an empty magazine — your point-blank shells never connect. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | True Grit armor and MR mean nothing when you can't reach her; she pokes you down across Levels 4-5 with empowered autos and Vault. |
| Level 6 | Graves | Collateral Damage is your one ranged nuke — fire it after Vault is spent and the shell-plus-cone bursts her squishy frame before she kites. |
| First item | Graves | Your Eclipse / Essence Reaver spike finally lets a full Q-cone + shells + R combo chunk her, if you bait Vault out first. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | Long-term she out-paces you with roams and constant poke — Harrier move-speed and her range reclaim the lane you can't pin down. |
She owns the first three levels outright. Her Harrier passive procs a free empowered auto every time you walk up to CS, and at Level 1 you have no Quickdraw charge to close that gap, so you just eat poke and reload an empty 2-shot magazine. Don't dash in early: the instant you E toward her she Vaults (E) over you, knocking you back, then Harrier-kites away. If you do commit, her Q (Blinding Assault) nearsights you so your point-blank shells whiff. Last-hit at max range off the tip of your Q powder trail, eat the lost CS, and wait for 6.
