{{WeaponCard|key=hero_necro|weapon_name=The Teacher}}

The Teacher attaches to the target closest to the reticle. It cannot deal headshots and Graves cannot buy headshot items.  However, it deals double damage once every 13 consecutive shots (~1.3s at base [[fire rate]]). This count resets on reload, loss of target, or when attacking a different target.

The Teacher has no [[Damage Falloff|damage falloff]] and deals no damage beyond its max range. However, the falloff range is factored in when calculating Graves' [[Build-Up]] per bullet, most notably the build-up from {{AbilityIcon|Essence Theft}}. As an exception, the effect from {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}} has damage falloff, calculated based on the distance from the main target to the ricocheted target.

[[Air Dash]]ing while firing The Teacher will stop consuming ammo briefly. This includes [[Down Dash]]ing, which costs half as much stamina and can be done without moving out of position in exchange for not being able to [[slide]]. The pause on ammo consumption is not shortened by [[Fire Rate]]. It is also the only weapon in the game that is not interrupted and can be continuously fired while performing an air dash.

The Teacher cannot target {{HeroIcon|Venator}}’s {{AbilityIcon|Hex-lined Snap Trap}} to disarm it.
