Graves moved up to primary carry in Teamfight Tactics Set 7.5 as the four-cost Cannoneer carry. Using his Quickdraw spell, Graves shoots out four bullets in a cone toward the target in front of him. He then dashes toward the target, firing off two more shots while gaining armour and magic resistance.
Riot Games assigned Cannoneer and Tempest traits to Graves. No changes were made to the Cannoneer trait in Set 7.5. Minor changes were applied to the Tempest trait, removing bonus attack speed and replacing it with damage amplification.
Graves quickly became a must-have Set 7.5 champion when you play the Built Different augment. And at the time of the new patch release, Graves is mostly found in late-game comps and partnered with Lagoon or Darkflight comps.
Graves wants attack damage items to get the most out of his Quickdraw spell. Ideal AD items of the TFT Set 7.5 four-cost champion are the same that players are used to putting on the dragons like Sy'fen and Shi Oh Yu.
It means that you should build Titan's Resolve and Edge of Night as your core items. It gives you a lot of defences. Third should be a healing item such as Hand of Justice or Bloodthirster.
Blood Thirster provides healing upon dashing into targets. Guinsoo’s Rageblade is another good item, increasing the Attack speed and allowing him to cast his spell more often, but isn't so popular. And Edge of Night gives Graves the protection he needs upon dropping below 50% health.
Alternative items that can also work well on Graves are Runaan’s Hurricane, Last Whisper, Hand of Justice, Infinity Edge, Giant Slayer, and Rapid Firecannon.
