We do know criminals and their crimes. We also know that they end up either in prison or getting killed.
But this criminal isn’t an ordinary one, he is Graves; THE OUTLAW.
In this article, we will show you how to get the first place each time you place Graves on your board.
I like my enemies two ways: dead, or about to be.
Malcolm Graves is a renowned mercenary, gambler, and thief—a wanted man in every city and empire he has visited.
Even though he has an explosive temper, he possesses a sense of criminal honor, often enforced at the business end of his double-barreled shotgun Destiny.
In recent years, he has reconciled a troubled partnership with Twisted Fate, and together they have prospered once more in the turmoil of Bilgewater’s criminal underbelly.

Best comps for Graves
3) Cannoneer pals
This comp is a really slow reroll trying to get all the low-cost champions to 3 stars before hitting level 8.
Zeke’s is the best item to place on Senna in the darkflight circle, and make sure that Graves has 2 darkflight champions right next to him.
Best team for this build:
1-Graves would be your main carry in terms of damage, in addition to the bonus armor and magic resist he gets that would make him sustain more damage.
2-Aphelios having 2 copies of him means having 2 Zeke’s.
3-Senna is placed in the darkflight circle and adding to the cannoneers.
4-Hecarim as a cavalier would be a good tank and make enemies flee in fear.
5-Rell is a darkflight and a cavalier which makes her a great choice.
6-Zeri deals great damage from the backlines as a Cannoneer.
7-Sejauni is a good tank in the frontline as she shares the Cavalier trait.
2) BEST FRIENDS
This comp revolves around Graves and Pantheon as they will deal great damage on-hit as they have Seraphine around them.
This team requires a fast reroll to level 8 with a strong economy, but make sure to get Seraphine to level 3 to get the best out of her.
Best team for this build:
1-Graves as your main damage carry, sharing his Cannoneer trait.
2-Pantheon as your second main damage carry, sharing his Whisper trait.
3-Seraphine is the game changer as she provides tons of utility to the team, especially the main carries.

The Tempest passive, which stuns enemies, will allow the swiftshot members to deal tons of damage from the backlines.

4-Varus can deal a lot of damage from the backline as a swiftshot champion.
5-Twitch breaks the enemies’ armor as a swiftshot from the backlines.
6-Qiyana counts as an additional tempest.
