Picking Grimstroke into Arc Warden forces a specific kind of game. Arc Warden's Tempest Double naturally complicates things for Soulbind, making it difficult to guarantee you've latched the real hero and neutralized the main threat. Even if you do, the clone remains a major problem for your team to deal with. However, Grimstroke isn't without answers. Stroke of Fate is an efficient tool for clearing out fields of Spark Wraiths from a safe distance, and a successful gank using Ink Swell can punish a poorly positioned Arc Warden before he can get his spells off. The fight often boils down to whether Grimstroke's team can find and burst the real hero, or if Arc Warden can successfully split their focus.
