How Vyper beats Graves
Assassin vs Mystic
Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.
Your game plan as Vyper
A slippery gunner who slides into your backline with a dagger and a bola.
Lane
Screwjab Dagger stacks damage and slow. Slither makes you faster than anyone.
Mid game
Lethal Venom gets stronger as targets lose health, so save it to finish fights.
Late game
Petrifying Bola petrifies on direct hit. Land it, then shoot.
How to beat Graves
