· A powerful build, researched primarily on the North American servers in Teamfight Tactics Season 17, has emerged.
· It's the 'Coolant Graves' build, characterized by its strong performance in the late game.
· This build only starts to show its true potential after the 5th turn and is a strategy worth considering when you have the flexibility.

· Current value decks are divided into three versions depending on whether you choose Lulu, Rammus, or Tahm Kench as the main tank.
· This video primarily focuses on the build that utilizes Tahm Kench as the main tank.

· Research on the Explorer augment is active, and we introduce a strategy to achieve the 3-Beastmaster synergy through it.
· The Explorer augment is advantageous for gold income, as placing a champion costing 33 gold allows you to obtain 27 gold, a Radiant Item Converter, and Morgana.
· You gain 8 max HP from the first Augment, positively impacting the build.

· We aimed to secure gold and establish the 3-Primal synergy by achieving a 5-game losing streak early on, but experienced an unexpected loss when Briar, purchased early, disappeared due to a bug.
· This prevented us from executing the 'gold farming' (gold acquisition) strategy effectively.

· Despite the difficult situation, we played defensively and prepared for a comeback by acquiring a large number of items from the second Augment.
· The Explorer Augment activated, Graves appeared, and we began to seriously consider the Coolant Graves build.

· Early Graves is still in the 'Damage Frame' stage, and a Bruiser Graves is just about average.
· The Coolant synergy is close to average until Stage 3 (Business), but it starts to become powerful once the Void multiplier kicks in.
· We aim for the 5-piece and Coolant synergy with the final Augment to complete the build.

· We miraculously survived with 1 HP and succeeded in accumulating 600 stacks.
· Graves is completed through the full Frostbite item and the Coolant Plus synergy.

· The completed Coolant Graves boasts powerful damage, but we face a crisis due to an unexpected enemy attack.
· We experienced a close call, almost losing even when Xayah 1-star with Guinsoo's Rageblade dealt 20,000 damage.

· Graves at Stage 3, even with Radiant items, is not performing adequately.
· Its true power is unleashed when the 'Void multiplier' synergy is activated.
· The Void multiplier reduces the maximum mana upon skill use, and when combined with Radiant Shojin's Spear, it allows for two skill casts without a single auto-attack.

· After Turn 7, Graves at Level 8 is completed, and when the explosion radius is enhanced, the skill starts to detonate significantly.
· Graves transforms into a monster that performs beyond expectations.

· Graves reaches 2-star, and its damage output noticeably increases.
· At Level 9, it shows even more powerful performance through the Empathy Burst synergy.

· Graves finally reaches 15k damage, showcasing its true monstrous form.
· It boasts overwhelming performance, dealing at least 10k damage.
· With the addition of Explosion Radius Plus, the skill range is greatly expanded.

· The opponent is a Level 10, 5-cost, 6-unit super value deck, but we win due to Graves' overwhelming damage difference.
· We secure victory by dealing more than double the damage of the opponent's Graves.

· Level 7 Graves is completed, and with Explosion Radius Plus, the deck's power is maximized.
· Reaching Level 10 further enhances the deck's power.
