Item Build

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame

If lane matchup is bad, put 2 points into Bomb instead of Life Drain.

Deadlock Item

I

Headshot Booster

More damage in the lane phase.

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Regen

It doesn't hurt to buy more sustain.

Deadlock Item

I

Mystic Regeneration

More regen from your abilities.

Deadlock Item

II

Kinetic Dash

The best ammo item for Geist. Use it right and you'll avoid reloading too often.

Deadlock Item

III

Headhunter

This will boost your headshot damage significantly with Berserker + BSR + Malice.

Deadlock Item

III

Radiant Regeneration

Using Malice will heal you even if you don't hit anyone.

Deadlock Item

II

Healing Booster

This almost fully negates the downsides of Blood Tribute. Also works on Healbane's heal on kill effect.

Deadlock Item

II

Healbane

The heal on hero kill is crucial for Lady Geist. Really good item but optional if you need something else.

Early Tools

Deadlock Item

I

Mystic Burst

Big damage with Bomb leveled first. Not required if you upgrade Life Drain. Sell later for slots.

Deadlock Item

I

Imbue [E]

Mystic Expansion

Way harder to escape your bombs. Don't buy if you upgrade Life Drain. Sell later for slots.

Deadlock Item

II

Suppressor

Great debuff against gun heroes and good stats for early game. Can be an alternative to Bullet Resist Shredder.

Core Items

15k souls timing: big damage amp with BRS + T3 Malice.

Deadlock Item

II

Enduring Speed

Lady Geist's weakness is her lack of mobility.

Deadlock Item

II

Bullet Resist Shredder

Check your team's items before buying because this debuff does NOT stack.

Deadlock Item

III

Berserker

Best gun damage for Geist. Keep your stacks up with Malice.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Fleetfoot

Very useful against annoying slows and slippery targets. We are move speed maxxing.

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellslinger

This is now an insane item for Lady Geist.

Deadlock Item

IV

Healing Tempo

The game usually ends before you get to build Leech, it's better to improve Life Drain instead.

Deadlock Item

III

Rapid Recharge

Not a priority if another item could be better. Buy after core items if it's worth it.

Defensive Tools

Grab at least one item.

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Resilience

Consider this item if you haven't purchased Enchanter's Emblem or Spirit Shielding.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Warp Stone

Good against Haze/Infernus ult, much needed Bullet Resist and gap closer for your ultimate. You will need this against cautious players.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Debuff Remover

Great against all sorts of debuffs, like Vindicta's stake.

Deadlock Item

III

Counterspell

Great against spells such as Pocket's Affliction.

Luxury

Greens are good, eat your greens.

Deadlock Item

IV

Crippling Headshot

Late game damage and debuffs!!

Deadlock Item

IV

Frenzy

You have become the speed demon! Very useful against spirit damage.

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellbreaker

Great against burst heavy teams and valuable debuff resistance.

Deadlock Item

IV

Plated Armor

Gun heroes will apply a bunch of debuffs when they shoot you. This is a great counter for it.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Colossus

Massive health buff. Buy if you die too easily. Not good against Curse.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

Easy initiation for Soul Sacrifice. Target the tank and obliterate their health pool.

Deadlock Item

IV

Juggernaut

Suppressor + Fleetfoot is less expensive but it still has its place in the late game.

Deadlock Item

IV

Leech

On the rare but not so rare occasion where you need to carry the team on your back.

Succ-maxxed

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Charge

Extra charge = Extra survival. Buy at 25k souls if you followed AP order or earlier at 15k souls if you give up T3 Malice for Life Drain.

Situational Items

Every tier 2 green item in the build is viable, pick according to your situation.

Deadlock Item

III

Weighted Shots

Tankiness at the expense of stamina recovery. The effect is minimal with Kinetic Dash at +0.43 seconds.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Blood Tribute

Insane debuff resist. If there are a lot of debuffs to deal with, this is a good buy after Berserker.

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Rend

Late game debuffs are good!!

Deadlock Item

I

Rebuttal

Great against brawlers in the early and mid-game.

Deadlock Item

II

Enchanter's Emblem

The spirit resist is important because it will reduce damage from your spells (and enemy spells).

Deadlock Item

II

Reactive Barrier

Good against Bebop hook and counter to Doorman's ult. Pretty good scaling too.

Deadlock Item

II

Spirit Shielding

You'll need this against high spirit burst.

Deadlock Item

II

Battle Vest

This is very valuable in the new patch.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Return Fire

Really good item, don't underestimate its use against gun heroes.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Metal Skin

The downside is this makes Geist an even more immobile hero for 5 seconds. Use it wisely.

Deadlock Item

III

Bullet Resilience

Metal Skin is preferred as a mid game tool.

Ability Point Order

Essence Bomb

Life Drain

Malice

Soul Exchange
