Assault Frame Upgrades
The Assault Frame uniquely evolves Graves into a frontline Attack Fighter, trading attack range for massive bonus HP, Omnivamp, and AD.
 | Assault Frame | Become an Attack Fighter with -2 Range. Gain 500 Base Health, 15% Omnivamp, And 35% AD |
With this setup, prioritize a sustain build with Bloodthirster, Titan’s Resolve, and Sterak’s Gage to maximize Graves’ tankiness and consistent damage output.
Power Frame Upgrades
The Power Frame makes Graves gain Precision, enabling his abilities to crit while significantly boosting his damage. This transforms him into a premier backline carry capable of unleashing massive burst
 | Power Frame | Gain Precision and increase Ability damage by 15%. |

The Marksman Frame grants Graves a 20% chance to attack twice, drastically scaling his total DPS. As the most damage-centric skill tree, it is the premier choice for players looking to slot Graves as their primary hyper-carry.
