Dazzle vs Vengeful Spirit

How this matchup plays

Pulling a hero out of position with Nether Swap is often all it takes to secure a kill before Dazzle can react with Shallow Grave. Vengeful Spirit’s swap is instant, while the save has a cast time, creating a window for her team to burst a target down. If Vengeful Spirit swaps Dazzle himself, he's usually dead without contributing anything. This interaction is central to the matchup, as it directly attacks Dazzle's ability to prevent kills. Vengeful Spirit can also use Magic Missile to interrupt the Shallow Grave cast if she gets close enough, further disrupting Dazzle’s attempts to protect his allies.

Throughout the game, Vengeful Spirit’s team will constantly be looking for that one good swap to start a fight with an advantage. Dazzle is forced onto the back foot, needing to position extremely cautiously to avoid being the primary target or to have a chance to save whoever gets pulled in. While good positioning and quick reactions from Dazzle can certainly turn these situations around, the initiative almost always lies with the Vengeful Spirit. She dictates the start of the engagement, forcing Dazzle to play a reactive game where a single mistake can lose the fight.
