| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because his point-blank Buckshot trades roughly with your autos and frame. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | Level 2 favours you as you bait his shells and commit Q-W into his cooldowns. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Level 3-5 favours you since sustained trades beat his burst and your Q denies his kiting. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 stay yours as Purge grinds him down past his first rotation. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Level 6 favours you because R flips and executes his Quickdraw all-in. |
| First item | Graves | First item favours Graves as an early lifesteal/lethality spike out-bursts you before you close. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | With 2+ items you win — your HP and shred outlast him and R punishes him in fights. |
Level 1 is a skill lane — Graves' point-blank Buckshot hits hard but you have the frame to trade back with Echoing Flames autos, so respect the first shell and don't over-walk into a double-shot. From level 2-3 you tilt ahead: bait his Buckshot, then commit Q and W once his burst is down, because your sustained shred beats his cooldown-reliant damage.
