Intro
Hello summoners ! this guide is exclusively made for you by me . Since some key items for top laners were hit with hard nerfs this patch hullbreaker is starting to rise up in meta . this is the recent build that i found on Korean server and i think its broken , if you are interested already lets get deep into it !
Runes
There are no better runes for graves top than fleet footwork since it gives us 2 most important stats that we need Sustain and Movement Speed .
Why do we go inspiration for secondary ?
Since hullbreaker gives us huge powerspike , saying no to the laning item and going inspiration tree is the best way to hit it as fast as possible .
Can i go resolve for secondary ?
Of course you can but it wont be as good as inspiration because it will delay for us the hullbreaker powerspike . But in low elo we can still go demolish because lot of players dont respect split pushing power there .

- For Low Elo
Summoner Spells
The best summoner spells for graves top are flash and ghost because teleport got nerfed recently and its not as effective as it was before in the early game . but we can still swap ghost for teleport or ignite .

Skill Path

Why do we go hullbreaker ?
As mentioned up on the page , since other key top laner items were hit hard and hullbreaker remained untouchable it's slowly becoming best rush item for almost every top laner , remember that it's not the increased tower damage for what we build this item , mostly we want to use its passive where it gives us bonus magic resist and armor if there are no nearby allied champions so basically we want to split push almost whole game , plus after we get immortal shieldbow it will be pretty easy for us to 1v2 .
- Items
Matchups
Almost every matchup on top lane can be beaten with this build even the infamous Korean chemtank akali .
- Common Counters
Remember
Hullbreaker is a massive powerspike and we should use it correctly by staying on side lanes and dominating them , never abandon your lane since it will literally deny us 1 item . Also take a look at the objectives if drake is up - go pressure top lane , if baron is up - go pressure bot lane its the best way of playing with hullbreaker . Since u will pressure so much 2 or more enemies will be forced to come to you to stop you from taking all of their objectives so it will naturally give your team a free objective without you even being there !
