•Fight on two shells: walk into real fights loaded, use E as the reload-and-stick step after the first shot, and look for Q where a wall snaps the return instead of firing it into open air .
•W should steal the click, not just tag the target, so smoke the peel line or retreat path and then shoot the body you can hit flush with pellets instead of trying to fire through two champions to the perfect carry .
•Good Graves games turn the enemy jungle into part of your route; recent data says stealing their camps moves his results much more than simply getting one early lane kill, so if no lane is volunteering a real play, point your next clear at their quadrant .
