Stake ties Graves to a point. Use Jar of Dead after Crow Familiar, then farm from outside the tether. If you are at half health in Vindicta's scope, expect Assassinate.

Full matchup plan
Mid game · Walkers
Use cover while Vindicta is in Flight, and pressure her on landing only if your team can reach her safely. Flight adds Spirit damage to her shots, so Bullet resistance alone does not cover the entire exchange.
Late game · Patron
Keep wounded allies out of Assassinate’s firing line and interrupt Flight when possible. Flight’s final upgrade refreshes its duration on hero kills, so protect wounded teammates. Follow her landing only when the route is safe. Aim your weapon at Vindicta so your nearby Deadheads prioritize the same target. Keep Grasping Hands between yourself and an enemy trying to reach you.
