When Trading safely in lane. Land a shotgun basic attack, then add Q for follow-up damage

1. AutoShotgun basic attack→
2. QQ double hit

Tip Q is not a recast — one cast deals both hits. Firing near a wall speeds up the detonation, making it hard to dodge.

When In a short skirmish, keep dealing damage without waiting on a reload after Graves's ammo runs out

1. AutoShotgun basic attack→
2. QQ double hit→
3. EE reload dash→
4. AutoFollow-up basic attack

Tip E both repositions and instantly reloads. True Grit refreshes while Graves damages the enemy, keeping Graves's armor stacks up.

When Committing the full rotation after W slows the target and E closes the gap

1. WW slow→
2. EE dash in→
3. AutoPoint-blank basic attack→
4. QQ double hit→
5. RR finisher

Tip Limit vision with W, close with E, then use close-range basic attacks and Q so more pellets connect. R knocks Graves backward, so avoid standing against a wall and position the recoil to create distance while finishing the target.

When Redirecting R with Flash or changing the recoil position for a finish

1. RFire R→
2. FlashFlash angle→
3. AutoFollow-up basic attack

Tip Flashing during R's cast redirects the shell from Graves's new position. This creates a less predictable firing angle or changes the recoil position, but the projectile still has to connect.
