Innate - Double Barrel: Graves' basic attacks fire his shotgun to consume ammunition within 2 shells. He will reload over a few seconds immediately after expending all shells or withholding leftover shells for a while. The reload time is reduced by Graves' level and bonus attack speed, and can be interrupted by declaring an attack or casting an ability.
Innate - 12-Gauge: Graves' basic attack sprays 4 pellets in a cone, each colliding with the first enemy unit in their path, dealing 70% − 100.01% (based on level) AD physical damage plus 23.31% − 33.3% (based on level) AD additional physical damage about one-third of the damage for each subsequent pellet hitting the same target, up to 139.93% − 199.92% (based on level) AD total physical damage against a single target. Pellets deal 25% reduced damage against structures.
Critical strikes spray 6 pellets over a 25% wider cone, with each pellet dealing (33.75% + 18%) increased damage, increased damage equal to 45% bonus critical damage, resulting in 178.312% (+ 23.997%) total damage 249.52% − 356.48% (based on level) (+ 33.58% : 47.97% (based on level)) AD total physical damage if all pellets hit a single target.
Pellets apply life steal at 100% effectiveness. Only the first pellet to hit each enemy applies on-hit effects.
Innate - Buckshot: Non-champion units hit by more than one pellet are knocked back, though not through terrain.

Lore

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 strict 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.
