Draven Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)
TopWhen Draven Top gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Draven wins most.
- Lv 3All three basic abilities at level 3Draven's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Draven hits it.
- Lv 11Ultimate rank 2 at level 11Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Draven can start or win.
- Lv 16Ultimate rank 3 at level 16Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Draven can start or win.
Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Draven Mid and Late Game
What Draven does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Draven is a main damage source (88/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
- Draven farms well (percentile 83): keep catching side waves between fights.
- Side-lane pressure pays: Draven rates 79/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
- Draven wins 14.7 points more in short games than long ones: group, take objectives and end before the enemy scales.
Mistakes to avoid
- Vision is a weak spot (0/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.
Playing Draven
- If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.
- If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.
Playing Against Draven
- Launch skillshots toward the landing position of Draven's Spinning Axes.
- Disrupt Draven with the goal of making him drop his axes. If you do, his power drops dramatically.
