Dazzle counters & matchups
Dazzle is a save-and-poke support whose Shallow Grave makes an ally un-killable for a few seconds, while Shadow Wave heals and Bad Juju shreds armor. He's strong into immobile heroes his poke wears down: Mars, Timbersaw and Nature's Prophet lose the attrition fight. Dazzle is countered by burst that beats Grave's timer or out-trades him: Spectre out-scales, Axe and Tidehunter out-fight, and Riki ambushes him. Draft tip: Dazzle is a premier save support into burst-and-dive drafts; he's weaker into sustained-damage hard-carries that out-last Shallow Grave.

Dazzle synergies
Dazzle's Shallow Grave is one of the best protect-the-carry tools in the game — it lets a fragile core dive fearlessly. He pairs best with aggressive carries and armor-shred fights: Spectre and Wraith King dive in knowing Grave keeps them alive, while Meepo snowballs behind his heals and armor reduction. Give Dazzle a kill-greedy carry and Shallow Grave turns risky dives into free kills.
