Tips for this build
Tag a tip with the part of the game it's about and it also shows in that phase above.
Phases come from when Graves's players usually buy each item (Eternus).
Great if you're playing against a pure M1 lane
If you're getting gunned down / e.g. Haze/Venator/Rat King
Not a shield but it has good resist and can come in clutch to save you
My preferred shielding most games, good if you're getting nuked by spirit / e.g. Pocket/Doorman/Apollo
More damage
4.8k Spirit spike + a lot of fire rate to apply Tesla/Toxic Bullets faster
Great against Mina, Apollo and Calico
Insane item on Graves, allows for faster farming/wave clearing and is great in burgerbox fights for Essence Theft. Great combo with Ricochet!!
Good damage for fights and farm, procs almost always given your gun's range
You can buy this in lane if you're going against characters like Abrams, Geist and Rem, if not just buy Toxic Bullets
Great resist for the entire team and nice fire rate/movement speed increase
If you're getting stunned frequently / e.g. Seven/Vindicta/Warden
Same as Extra Stamina but better, absolute must buy
Great antiheal and spirit scaling bleed, incredble against tanks and healers + works with Escalating
Duration on Wall immobilize, ghoul and skulls slow and all other debuffs e.g. Toxic, Siphon, Escalating and Capacitor
Core item - Upgrades into Escalating Exposure later
Kind of a must buy against Lash + other easily reactable abilities/ults
More ammo and 30% Bullet Resistance, actually pretty good against M1s
Kinda needed in most cases around 30 mins
Lots of damage + healing + extra weapon damage steal
Kinda OP if you're going full gun or hybrid, insane combo with Split Shot
Super strong option against super high hp heroes and tanks like Abrams, Billy, Venator or even Apollo
Haze is pretty strong right now, this helps
Insane item, procs off of your entire kit and core items
Sell Healbane to buy this during mid/late game as a luxury upgrade
I'd suggest if you have 3/4 active items, which you might have by now
Good item in general thanks to the stats it gives
Shuts down spirit characters, insanely good buy especially for burgerboxing
Amazing item!!! If you're going gun this is probably the best item to rush against 90% of comps
Stops nukers (Calico, Mina, Pocket etc.) from, well, nuking you
More healing + extra ammo + faster reloads and fire rate
Good option to buy in the midgame to shut down those pesky M1s
This is always good against Mirage/Shiv/Fern and debuffs in general
If you really really really need the heal, usually Spiritual Overflow + skulls will suffice
Finally effective against Mercurial Magnum and other passives, amazing item for prolonged fights, otherwise metal skin is generally better
Good resists and good scaling on the barrier, it saved my ass lots of times
Kinda needed super mega late game with how much CC is in this game
