How to play it
- Press early
Graves is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Talon reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Physical resistance
Talon deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Talon's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Death's Dance early.

How to play as Graves
