How Graves beats Haze

Mystic vs Assassin

Keep your CC for their dive. One stun on an assassin is usually a kill for your team.

Your game plan as Graves

A necromancer who gets stronger every time something dies near her.

Lane
Farm deaths into Jar of Dead; Essence Theft steals weapon damage and Spirit Resist over long trades.
Mid game
Grasping Hands immobilises and cuts off retreats, so place it behind enemies, not in front.
Late game
Fight where things are dying: Jar of Dead turns deaths into Deadheads.

How to beat Haze

The one-sided exchange. Haze wants to shoot you while you can’t shoot back.

  • 01Hold a stun for Bullet Dance. Any reliable CC ends it.
  • 02Enemies close to Haze can see through Smoke Bomb, so stay near teammates.
  • 03Pressure her lane early; Haze is weakest before her items.
