How Dazzle and Grimstroke perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Grimstroke win 52.13% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,135 matches.
Getting caught by Soulbind feels particularly difficult to escape against this duo. Once Grimstroke links two heroes, a single cast of Poison Touch from Dazzle will hit them both, applying a stacking slow that makes them easy targets. This setup is perfect for Grimstroke to then land a full-duration Ink Swell or for the rest of the team to close in for the kill. Beyond that specific combo, Dazzle's constant healing from Shadow Wave helps sustain the team through the drawn-out, attrition-based fights that Grimstroke's control spells tend to create. It's a pairing that excels at wearing opponents down over time rather than bursting them instantly.
