Graves vs Lillia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Graves's strong early clear speed and dueling to pressure Lillia's jungle and control river entrances.
Prioritize tempo leads and counter-jungling to deny Lillia's scaling and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path camps toward invade windows where Lillia is low health after clears to punish her weak early resistance.
Use lane priority to secure river vision and control dragon entrances before attempting to contest or invade.
Counter-jungle when Lillia commits to full clears on opposite side or path predictably for ganks.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when Lillia has full movement speed stacks active, as she can outmaneuver and set up (E) sleep.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Lillia's lanes have priority and can follow up on her sleep engage.
Watch for low-health clears where Lillia can invade or force smite fights; maintain healthy clear and vision to mitigate risk.

Early game

Start with a healthy full clear to maintain tempo and prepare for early river contest.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and avoid 2v2 disadvantage.
Avoid extended fights early if Lillia shows up with movement speed stacks; focus on healthy clears and tracking her path.

Power spikes

Graves spikes early with strong dueling and burst damage; use this to force Lillia off camps before she hits AP item power spikes.
Respect Lillia's high clear speed and movement speed power spikes that enable her to contest objectives quickly.
Graves's medium mobility with (E) dash and (W) smoke screen allows him to kite and win skirmishes before Lillia reaches late-game sleep engage.

Win conditions

Convert clear speed and early dueling strength into invading Lillia's jungle to deny camps and force resets.
Use lane priority to control river and objective entrances, enabling safe dragon and Rift Herald setups.
Focus on ranged skirmishes to kite Lillia and avoid her sleep setups, maintaining tempo leads to snowball teamfight advantage.
