Why this duo works

Graves wants mid priority and a partner who can join river fights, while Sylas brings mobile gank follow-up and strong 2v2 skirmishing. Graves mains have described Sylas as a workable duo, matching the +1.7pp low-elo synergy.

Playing the duo

Sylas Abduct (E) lets him close a long distance to follow up on Graves ganks; Graves mains report that Sylas and Graves work well as a high-damage 2v2 pair.

How to play as Graves

Coordinate a river invade after Sylas gains mid priority; Graves mains say his river and objective control improves when mid can rotate, and Sylas can follow a skirmish with E.

How to play as Sylas

Save Abduct (E) to follow Graves when he starts a gank; Sylas players say the recast can cover a large distance and make ganks on his lane especially effective.
