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 (56.8%), Timbersaw (56.0%) and Nature's Prophet (55.6%) lose the attrition fight. Dazzle is countered by burst that beats Grave's timer or out-trades him: Spectre (45.6%) out-scales, Axe (46.0%) and Tidehunter (46.4%) out-fight, and Riki (46.7%) 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 (57.2%) and Wraith King (54.4%) dive in knowing Grave keeps them alive, while Meepo (55.1%) snowballs behind his heals and armor reduction. Give Dazzle a kill-greedy carry and Shallow Grave turns risky dives into free kills.
