Deadlock Hero Graves: Abilities, Ultimate and More

Deadlock has been Valve's worst-kept secret since the closed beta became public during the Summer of 2024.

Now, the game has been reaching new heights with the recent 'Old Gods, New Blood' update, and we're going to run over all we know about Deadlock's latest hero, Graves. 

Here's what we know. 

Deadlock Hero Graves: Abilities, Ultimate and More

Deadlock is the latest game from Valve, and much like their other titles, this one is diving into a category of a hero shooter, combined alongside a MOBA.

With six new heroes slated to come out in the next couple of weeks, Graves was the second to join the competition, and she harnesses the power of the dead to strike down her enemies with powerful AoE attacks.

    • Passive
      • Collect death when anything dies nearby and store it in your Jar of Dead.
    • Active
      • Throw a jar to summon Deadheads that repeatedly deal spirit damage to enemies.
    • Deadheads follow you instead if there's no nearby enemies, and prioritze the target of your weapon.
  • Grasping Hands
    • Unearth a line of grasping hands, dealing spirit damage and applying immobilize to enemies when they pass through.
  • Essence Theft (Passive)
    • Your weapon steals weapon damage and spirit resist over time, up to a maximum amount per target.
  • Borrowed Decree (Ultimate)
    • Create a gravestone at a target location that summons ghouls over time. Enemies can destroy the gravestone with two heavy melees.
    • Ghouls shamble towards the enemy base, dealing melee damage. They explode when they approach a hero or objective, dealing spirit damage in an area and applying a brief slow.
