Why it works
- Roots hold Fixation targets.
Grasping Hands
Grasping Hands Raises a line of undead hands out of the ground that damages and immobilizes anyone passing through, spawns a Ghoul, and leaves a lingering rift behind. Crowd Control immobilize (root) on enemies who pass through; Damage roughly 90 spirit at base, +90 more at tier 2 (metabot.gg, deadlock.one) Mobility none for Graves 1 +90 damage and +10m wall length 2 +1 Ghoul, about -14s cooldown and +0.75s immobilize immobilizes anyone who walks through it, so Haze's target cannot break line of sight to wipe her per-target
Fixation
Fixation Each bullet that lands on a target adds a stack of bonus weapon damage against that specific target; Crowd Control tier 1 applies about 40 spirit damage and a 12% slow for 2s every 20 stacks Damage roughly +0.2 weapon damage per stack at base; 1 every 20 stacks deals about 40 spirit damage and applies a 12% slow for 2 seconds 2 +40 maximum stacks and +5 seconds of stack duration 5 +0.11 damage per stack, and the bonus now scales with her weapon damage stacks. Her ramp keeps climbing while Graves's Deadheads chip the same rooted enemy. - Ghouls create lone targets.
Borrowed Decree
Borrowed Decree Plants a gravestone that spawns Ghouls over time. Crowd Control area slow on Ghoul detonation Damage roughly 115 spirit on Ghoul detonation and about 40 melee per upgrade tier; Defensive a gravestone placed on your own walker or guardian turns a defensive hold… 1 +25% Ghoul move speed and about -15s cooldown 2 +10s duration and faster spawn cadence (about -0.3s spawn time) 5 Ghouls deal roughly +5% of the target's current health as damage when they die Ghouls march on objectives and force enemies to rotate back and clear them. Those lone defenders are exactly the isolated targets Haze hunts from
Smoke Bomb
Smoke Bomb Vanishes from sight and gains bonus sprint speed. Mobility significant sprint speed bonus while active; Defensive the strongest single-hero escape in the group — at tier 3 it also purges… 1 grants 2 ability charges 2 removes non-ultimate debuffs on cast and grants 50% bullet lifesteal for 5 seconds , and the Ghoul pressure covers her weak, no-wave-clear early game. - Sleep Dagger covers no mobility. Graves has no dash, so divers who reach her short range usually win. Haze can throw
Sleep Dagger
Sleep Dagger Throws a dagger that damages the target and puts them to sleep. Crowd Control sleep (hard CC); target wakes roughly 0.1s after taking damage. Tier 2 adds… Damage about 65 at base spirit power (deadlock.one) Defensive sleeping a chaser is her cleanest disengage, and it works from inside Smoke… 1 reduces the target's bullet resist by 10% for 6 seconds on wake-up 2 +1 second sleep duration and applies 15 Fixation stacks 5 about -17s cooldown, plus 40% movement and dash speed slow for 3 seconds after waking at the diver from inside
Smoke Bomb
Smoke Bomb Vanishes from sight and gains bonus sprint speed. Mobility significant sprint speed bonus while active; Defensive the strongest single-hero escape in the group — at tier 3 it also purges… 1 grants 2 ability charges 2 removes non-ultimate debuffs on cast and grants 50% bullet lifesteal for 5 seconds without breaking invisibility and take that enemy out of the fight for a moment.
