Best lane mates
These partners work well with this hero. Percentages show recorded match win rates for each pairing, not lane wins.
- 01McGinnisKit pairSpectral Wall can restrict routes around Graves’s summons, while turrets add pressure to the same area. Keep enough space between the setup and your heroes to avoid one area attack hitting everything.62.3%
- 02SevenKit pairAlso an opponentGraves can restrict movement with Grasping Hands while Seven sends Lightning Ball through the same area. This helps both heroes damage enemies who stay to defend the wave.60.4%
- 03VictorPower pairAlso an opponentVictor can pressure enemies at close range while you shoot from cover. Keep enough distance from him that one area attack cannot hit both players, and help secure the wave between fights.61.4%
- 04DynamoKit pairSingularity holds enemies where Graves can shoot them and follow with Grasping Hands. Place her summons where they can contribute without requiring Graves to stand beside the trapped enemies.57.9%
- 05PaigePower pairPlot Armor can protect you before you take damage, while Captivating Read restricts enemies who stay in its marked area. Attack while supported, but leave when the barrier breaks and the return damage becomes unsafe.60.5%

- 01VictorHard counterAlso a strong mateVictor can pressure Graves if he reaches her behind the summons. Use Grasping Hands to restrict his route, then keep shooting from outside Aura of Suffering when possible.49%
- 02LashHard counterLash can bypass Graves’s ground setup from above. Watch his landing and keep a retreat route that does not force Graves to stand beside her summons.53.5%
- 03SevenSoft counterAlso a strong mateLightning Ball threatens clustered summons and Graves together. Spread the setup and attack from a different position so Seven cannot damage both with one line.49.5%
- 04BebopSoft counterGrapple Arm can pull Graves away from her summons and into the enemy team. Keep cover or a trooper between her and Bebop before setting up to fire.57.6%
- 05Mo & KrillSoft counterCombo prevents Graves from acting if Mo & Krill reach her. Use Grasping Hands to restrict their route and keep enough distance for teammates to respond.52.7%
