How to play it

✓ DO

Disengage his R

Disengage whenever he R's — don't try to fight through his ultimate.

Punish R downtime

When his R is on cooldown and he's building Triforce, you can easily space him and kill.

Tank Trundle

If he goes tank you won't kill him — he's just a walking ward, so don't force it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never fight through his R — disengage the moment he ults.

Graves flexes lethality and crit every game, but the constant is Bloodthirster first for the lifesteal and shield that keep him healthy in lane, then Youmuu's Ghostblade to snowball. Rush an early Cloth Armor or Hexdrinker into heavy AD/AP bursts, and grab Boots of Swiftness when you need to stick to a target.
