McGinnis
Kontrolliert den Kampf mit Geschützen

Für McGinnis ist eine präzise Positionierung von entscheidender Bedeutung, wenn sie Gegner mit einem Raketenhagel überzieht oder diese mit ihrer Mauer strategisch voneinander trennt. Sie hält ihr Team am Leben und hilft beim Verschanzen, was eine Belagerung für die Angreifer zu einem äußerst mühsamen Unterfangen macht.

Description

A spirit/support build with a heavy focus on spamming turrets and providing support to your allies.

Latest Updates:
14-July: Shifted item purchase orders to put more emphasis on heroic aura and healing tempo.
17-July: Phase 4 tweaks, removed final wall/barrage upgrades to encourage actually thinking about which one I need more.

Item Build

1

Monster Rounds first generally for faster wave clear, then either Extra Spirit for your specter or Extra Stamina for better mobility, then buy what you need for the situation.

Heilungsritus

Get this first if you have a squishy and aggro lane partner like Lash

2

Awkward defensive phase of the game. Defend objectives, farm boxes, but don't steal/leech farm from carries. Once you get Rapid Recharge you can get a lot more aggro.

2) Turret Prep

Deadlock Item

II

Wappen des Zauberers

Great lane finisher, sell later to make room for something situational

2) Countering

Deadlock Item

II

Heilungsfluch

If the enemy team has a lot of sustain (e.g. Abrams, Infernus, Mo & Krill), you'll want this and Inhibitor.

Use turrets to establish a supporting fire backline for team fights, or to defend your objectives or siege their objectives. Get Transcendent if you're buying a lot of active items or want more turret spam power, otherwise Healing Tempo will be a strong boon for you, your turrets, your troopers, and your teammates.

3) Turret Core

Deadlock Item

III

Schnelle Aufladung

Big boost to turret spammability

Deadlock Item

III

Überlegene Abklingzeit

Get this when you need to get medicinal specter out more often

Deadlock Item

Heroische Aura

Passive applies to troopers, turrets, and ally heroes. Very useful.

3) Core T4S

This item is, honestly, overpowered regardless of what you're building.

Deadlock Item

Imbue [E]

Aktiv

Echosplitter

It's so expensive it's hard to justify buying late game :(

Deadlock Item

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

Only get this once you have a few items with cooldown, otherwise S.Cooldown is good enough.

3) Very Late Game

Deadlock Item

IV

Hexenpanzer

Vs spirit enemies this will give you so much turret spam

Deadlock Item

III

Impuls-Regeneration

Toss out a turret to benefit from Healing Tempo

4)

After you finish Turret Core and buy a T4, look at the team comps and build for what role you need to fill. Lately I've been doing a lot of Support building.

4) Tank Core

Deadlock Item

IV

Moloch

This annd Bullet Resilience are all you're gonna need for bullet resist

4) Support Core

Deadlock Item

III

Get this to undo the imbuing earlier, very important for specter boosting
