How Graves beats Nurse Harrow
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 Nurse Harrow
A battlefield medic who heals with her gun, starves enemy buffs with leeches and terrifies anyone who looks her in the eye.
- 01Turn your back to Lurking Terrors: facing away halves its damage and stops the terror building.
- 02Burst the Wretched Vapors target after the rush ends; the delayed damage lands all at once unless she heals it.
- 03Pressure Harrow while Healing Needles is loaded; her clip is healing allies, not shooting you.
