Graves vs Lillia Counter Pick

Lillia is fragile by design: 605 health at level one, 22 base armor, and only 98.5 armor by level 18. Graves fires four bullets per attack and finishes with Collateral Damage, an explosive shell that deals heavy damage to the first champion it hits before splitting behind it. Connect once and the exchange is usually over, which is where 52.9% across 1,376 games on patch 16.13.1 comes from.

Her counter-play is never being inside 425 range in the first place. Dream-Laden Bough adds max health damage over time on every skill that connects, Blooming Blows stacks move speed as she lands spells, and Swirlseed rolls onward until it finds a wall or a target, all from 325 attack range. Lilting Lullaby then makes everyone carrying Dream Dust drowsy before they fall asleep, and a sleeping Graves without Quickdraw available does not wake up. The practical shape of the fight: hold Quickdraw for the armor and magic resist boost rather than the movement, use Smoke Screen on her approach angle because cutting sight range blunts a champion who needs to watch her seed land, and fight near walls where End of the Line detonates on terrain. Her damage is magic, so one early magic resist item outperforms a second damage component. Difficulty reads 8 for Lillia, 3 for Graves. Champion pages: Graves, Lillia.
