How to play as Graves

Hold Quickdraw(E) to dodge Crescent Strike(Q) rather than spending it early; without the Moonlight mark, Diana loses the reset on Lunar Rush(E).

Diana clears her opening camps quickly, so don't invade her first route without lane priority or help; cross-map if you cannot reach her camps before she finishes.

Crescent Strike(Q) applies Moonlight, which lets Diana reset Lunar Rush(E); Graves can use Quickdraw(E) to dodge the Q and deny that mark.

How to play as Diana

Use your fast first clear to set the pace, but wait for Graves to spend Quickdraw(E) before casting Crescent Strike(Q); a hit applies Moonlight and restores Lunar Rush(E).
