Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE New Destiny

Graves' shotgun has some unique properties. He must reload when he runs out of ammo. Attacks fire 4 bullets, which cannot pass through units. Non-champions struck by multiple bullets are knocked back.

1 End of the Line

Graves fires an explosive shell that detonates after 1.5 seconds, or 0.25 seconds if it strikes terrain.

2 Smoke Screen

Graves fires a smoke canister at the target area creating a cloud of smoke that reduces sight range. Enemies caught in the initial impact are dealt magic damage and have their movement speed reduced briefly.

3 Quickdraw

Graves dashes forward gaining an Armor boost for several seconds. If Graves dashes towards an enemy champion, gain two stacks of True Grit instead. Hitting enemies with basic attacks lowers the cooldown of this skill and refreshes the resistance boost.

ULTIMATE Collateral Damage

Graves fires an explosive shell dealing heavy damage to the first champion it hits, and pushing Graves back from recoil. After hitting a champion or reaching the end of its range, the shell explodes dealing damage in a cone.
