Graves dashes forward gaining an Armor and Magic Resist boost for several seconds. If Graves dashes towards an enemy champion, gain two stacks of True Grit instead. Hitting enemies with basic attacks lowers the cooldown of this skill and refreshes the resistance boost.

Graves fires an explosive shell dealing heavy damage to the first champion it hits. After hitting a champion or reaching the end of its range, the shell explodes dealing damage in a cone.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where he would receive full Fleet Footwork healing if he targets a champion with a basic attack that is blocked by minions. Energized will now trigger on the first struck enemy, instead of the original target.
Previously, the invisible attack missile that manages interactions such as damaging wards naturally brought along the Energized proc on-attack.
Now works like Parrrley or Mystic Shot; When the attack applies on-hit effects and Graves has 100 stacks, it'll apply the effect. This happens even if maximum stacks were reached after the attack was fired or by the attack being fired.

Reduction to the bonus critical damage (now 66.6%) is stronger than the base crit damage change (now 81.8%) due to having the same factor but different influence on the final damage.
