Item Build

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame

Early Tools

Deadlock Item

I

Rebuttal

Great against brawlers in the early and mid-game.

Deadlock Item

II

Battle Vest

This is very valuable in the new patch.

Deadlock Item

II

Reactive Barrier

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

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

Deadlock Item

II

Bullet Resist Shredder

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

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Charge

This can be skipped or sold later if you need another item.

Deadlock Item

II

Healing Booster

This almost fully negates the downsides of Blood Tribute. Also works on Healbane's heal on kill effect. Can be sold later or upgraded into Healing Tempo.

Deadlock Item

II

Enduring Speed

Lady Geist's weakness is her lack of mobility.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Fleetfoot

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

Deadlock Item

III

Berserker

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

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.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellslinger

This is now an insane item for Lady Geist.

Deadlock Item

IV

Leech

Increased sustainability and carry potential.

Deadlock Item

IV

Healing Tempo

Improved move speed and healing. This is not a priority: Healing Booster can be sold off.

Deadlock Item

III

Rapid Recharge

Not a priority and sometimes optional if another item could be better.

Luxury

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

Juggernaut

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

Deadlock Item

IV

Cheat Death

Good survivability and a chance to life swap beyond death.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Colossus

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

Situational Items

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

Deadlock Item

III

Toxic Bullets

Bleed is great for late game against big hp pools.

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

II

Enchanter's Emblem

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

Deadlock Item

II

Spirit Shielding

You'll need this against high spirit burst.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Return Fire

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

Deadlock Item

IV

Witchmail

Viable against heavy spirit teams.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

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

Deadlock Item

II

Suppressor

Great debuff against gun heroes and good stats for early game.
