Drifter

Description

Optimal build for "Hold M1" Drifter. This hits Weapon + Vitality Investments at the best time. Strong and bursty very quicky. Fire Rate is insane on Drify so jump someone and watch their HP bars melt. (Snatch is bait in most games)

Item Build

Vitality 4.8

Survive + move fast!

Deadlock Item

II

Stiefel des Dauerläufers

Don't sell. Great Item!

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Trance der Raserei

Power Spike! A little weaker this patch, but still strong. Go Fortitude if you like MAX HP and SPEED!

Spirit 4.8

Bait for most games.

Deadlock Item

I

Magieschlag

Get this early if you constantly go for Rend and are dominating lane. Don't go Snatch if there isn't enough Spirit DMG on both teams.

Deadlock Item

III

Magische Einverleibung

Skip entirely if you want. Strong early + if you have lots of Spirit DMG pals. (bait in a lot of games, delays your potential)

Deadlock Item

II

Reduzierte Kugelresistenz

Easy to trigger during Ult.

Deadlock Item

III

Überlegene Dauer

Get if you have max Ult.

Core

Must Haves/Bread n Butter

Deadlock Item

III

Geschärftes Bajonett

Power Spike! You hit another Investment threshold.

Deadlock Item

III

Hohlspitz-Kugeln

You have a ton of Weapon DMG before getting this so its Bullet Shred works great. If you go Fury Trance instead of Fortitude get this before Burst Fire.

Deadlock Item

IV

Glückstreffer

Biggest Power Spike!

Deadlock Item

IV

Verkrüppelnder Kopfschuss

Incredibly strong against RES heavy teams. Break their defences!

Vampirischer Kraftstoß

Replaces Fury Trance late game.

Deadlock Item

Experimentelles Magazin

Really really good Item. Fits this playstyle really well. Sell Backstabber for it.

Heals, Shields, Counters

Tools to help you deal with pests

Deadlock Item

IV

Raserei

Feels strong against teams that burst you down and have no real followup.

Deadlock Item

III

Seelenkraft

This or Fury Trance, your choice. This item feeds more into the character's Hunter identity.

Deadlock Item

II

Durchdringende Kugeln

Powerful but needs more testing.

Deadlock Item

II

Hemmende Kugeln

Powerful but needs more testing.

Deadlock Item

Very insane Item on Drifty, but this only for REALLY late games.
