Description

12/30 update: Seperated post lane purples and greens as there isn't a set L-R order after the early game. Use your judgement whether you need more damage or more survivability.

Feel free to ask me any questions on the Sinclair discord @RAIGEKI

Item Build

Early Game L-R

Play lane safe and box until 2.7k T2 bolt. 8.8k spike with surge and t3 bolt lets you one shot anyone on the map so try to avoid too much rotating until that point.

Deadlock Item

I

Monster-Kugeln

Our level 1 gun dps is pathetic so this lets us kill troopers easier and not get constantly pushed into. Sell if you need a slot later.

Deadlock Item

I

Aktiv

Heilungsritus

Best lane sustain by far and makes taking sinners less painful. Sell if you need the slot later.

Deadlock Item

I

Zusätzliche Aufladung

Time to finally do damage. Try to save all your bolt charges for when you drop assistant.

Deadlock Item

I

Imbue [E]

Mystische Erweiterung

Makes bolts easier to hit and enables you to farm multiple creeps in a camp with them.

Deadlock Item

III

Schnelle Aufladung

4.8k spirit spike, should be able to win any lane from here.

Deadlock Item

III

Imbue [E]

Ansteigende Magiekraft

Crazy damage spike with t3 bolt. You will be one shotting people at this point in the game with this much damage.

Purps

You want all 4 of these every game. ordered by importance in my opinion.

Deadlock Item

III

Größere Erweiterung

Makes everything easier to hit and makes almost every ult better.

Deadlock Item

IV

Grenzenlose Magiekraft

Huge damage increase to everything. We don't need more damage after this.

Deadlock Item

III

Überlegene Abklingzeit

More of our op buttons

Greens

Get 4.8k green invest minimum. These are all situational so read annotations and don't be afraid to buy multiple as we have a lot of free slots.

Deadlock Item

II

Aktiv

Schutzwache

Buy if you plan on building into Divine Barrier. Ability range is also just our best stat next to spirit power.

Deadlock Item

II

Heilungsfluch

Buy if they have big chungus or big healers like mcginnis / kelvin / ivy

Deadlock Item

II

Stiefel des Dauerläufers

All around always good item. I buy this almost every game.

Deadlock Item

II

Reaktive Barriere

Even with the CD nerf this is still really good for heroes that scale lots of spirit like Sinclair. Good against abrams / bebop / haze / paradox

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Teleport-Stein

The best defensive item when combined with greater expansion and also enables a lot of stolen ults. I buy this very frequently.

Deadlock Item

III

Mystischer Schleier

I love this item against any heroes with good single target pick ultimates to steal (wraith / holliday / mo / vyper). Good if you have to be the one invading and finding picks.

Endgame Choices

Read annotations and buy off vibes. Max rabbit or ult at 29k based on the enemy lineup.

Deadlock Item

III

Überlegene Dauer

Affects rabbit, actives, and almost every ult you steal. Prioritize this against ults like drifter / warden / dynamo

Deadlock Item

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

Don't like getting this until we have full actives.

Deadlock Item

IV

Imbue [E]

Aktiv

Echo-Splitter

Always broken with max rabbit.

Deadlock Item

IV

Aktiv

Geißel

Can throw on your beefiest gorilla against spirit heavy lineups. With greater expansion and sup duration this item is crazy.

Deadlock Item

IV

Aktiv

Fluch

The best answer in the game to wraith and seven. I don't really buy it for anyone else.

Deadlock Item

IV

Magiebrand

Generally if you need antiheal just get healbane / decay and you'll be fine. I only really buy this against McGinnis.

Deadlock Item

IV

Rüstung des Weissagers

Just a solid all around item if you're stealing big ults constantly. I almost never buy this but its always decent.

Deadlock Item

IV

Aktiv

Unaufhaltsam

Only even consider this item if you're stealing dynamo ult every fight.

Deadlock Item

IV

Aktiv

Göttliche Barriere

Good if getting owned by pocket / drifter / ivy ult. This item is never a bad buy.

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Alchemie-Feuer

Really good with how much ability range we have. If you have a ton of gun damage on your team this amplifies it a lot and also spreads healbane.

Deadlock Item

III

Giftige Kugeln

If enemy team is all beef this item does stupid damage for its price and applies in only 2 left clicks.

Other situational items that can come up

Deadlock Item

III

Gegenzauber

I'm bad with this and don't like how inconsistent it is but the item is really good if you're practiced with it.

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Schwächungs­entferner

Deadlocks BKB. Go to defensive item for basically everyone. I don't buy it because im not weak but if you're getting hatecrimed by silences / slowing hexes its very good.

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Rettungs­strahl

can upgrade rite to this if against heavy catch and your teammates are noobs

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Metallhaut

Best anti gun hero item on this hero and often necessary to use seven and warden ults properly. If the only way you can die is to gun damage you should be buying this.

Deadlock Item

II

Aktiv

Fluch der Langsamkeit

Good against our hardest matchups (calico, lash). If you buy veil walker its a really strong way to initiate on slippery heroes from invis.

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Verfall

Good against beef heroes and farms free damage

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Fluch der Entwaffnung

Very strong vs gun heavy lineups. Good players buy debuff remover though so I usually prefer metal skin but you can protect your teammates with this.

Deadlock Item

III

Aktiv

Niederschlag

Break glass in case of vindicta / grey talon / lash

PLEASE BUFF :(

Deadlock Item

IV

Aktiv

Fliegender Teppich

The movespeed stacking nerf made this item so much worse when combining with other movespeed items. Buy strictly for fun. Yoshi plz help.
