Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Draw Your Sword

    Prismatic

    You are now melee. Gain Attack Damage, Health, Attack Speed, Lifesteal, and Move Speed based on how much Attack Range you lost.

    Why on Graves

    The attack speed and lifesteal speed up your shotgun attacks, and each bullet hit lowers the cooldown of Quickdraw (E), so you dash and stack resistances more often.

  2. Outlaw's Grit

    Gold

    After using a Dash, Blink, or Teleport Ability you gain Armor and Magic Resist.

    Why on Graves

    Every Quickdraw (E) dash already grants True Grit resistances, and Outlaw's Grit stacks more Armor and Magic Resist on top, making you very hard to burst.

  3. Clown College

    Prismatic

    Gain Deceive Summoner Spell. Deceive: You teleport and become Invisible. Your next Attack while Invisible deals additional physical damage. When you die, spawn an exploding box that deals a large amount of magic damage and Fear nearby enemies.

    Why on Graves

    Deceive adds a second reposition on top of Quickdraw (E), letting you blink into close range where more of your New Destiny (passive) shotgun bullets connect.
