Nasus into Gravesmedium

Overview

Prioritize surviving Graves's early jungle pressure by avoiding fights and stacking safely.
Play for late-game scaling by maximizing stacks and using durability to win extended fights.
Use slows to punish Graves's overextensions during ganks or invades.

Focus on safe farming and stacking before contesting camps or invading.
Contest Scuttle only when lanes have priority and Graves is visible on the opposite side.
Use to slow and punish Graves if he overextends, then disengage to avoid burst damage.

Graves's early invade windows and fast clears create high-risk river fights; avoid isolated skirmishes before level 6.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Graves controls river vision and lanes lack priority.
Low-health clears make you vulnerable to Graves's burst and counter-jungling; reset if below half health.

Start with a full clear to maximize health and stacks before contesting river or camps.
Avoid early Scuttle fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Track Graves's pathing and avoid overextending without vision to prevent early invades.

Level 6 grants durability; use it to survive Graves's burst and turn skirmishes.
High stacks boost dueling power; pressure side lanes once this threshold is reached.
Respect Graves's early clear speed and dueling power before level 6; avoid fights until spikes are online.

Convert stacked and durability into side-lane pressure to force enemy responses.
Use superior sustain and slows to punish Graves when he overextends or mispositions.
Focus on scaling denial by farming safely and contesting camps only with lane priority or vision advantage.
