Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Clear nearby Deadheads before taking a long exchange with Graves, and go around Grasping Hands’ rift. Take cover when Essence Theft weakens your weapon damage and Spirit resistance. Aim Call Bell where the enemy must stand to contest the wave, and keep clear of your own Doorway exit if it would give them a direct route to you.

Mid game · Walkers

Clear summons threatening your Walker before chasing Graves. Destroy Borrowed Decree’s gravestone with two heavy melees when your team can protect you.

Late game · Patron

Assign someone to clear the summons while the rest of your team contests the objective. If you can safely reach Borrowed Decree’s gravestone, destroy it with two heavy melees to stop that source of Ghouls. Avoid following Graves through Grasping Hands. Aim Luggage Cart to move Graves toward a position your team can attack, keeping wounded allies clear of her arrival.
