Item Build

Early Lane

First buys - Left to Right - Focusing lane core

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue

Quicksilver Reload

HUGE buff to your Scorn damage and healing, play passive until you get this, then start making Scorn health trades.

Deadlock Item

I

Mystic Burst

Same thing as Quicksilver, you have to get Scorn T2 to proc this so buy this in order. As long as you're hitting Scorns, you'll come out of every trade positive.

Deadlock Item

I

Monster Rounds

Great item for if getting poked out while clearing waves and for tower diving. Buy first item if getting attacked super hard in lane and stuck behind shop. Buy Close Quarters if lots of melee in lane.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Cold Front

Use in combination with Burrow/Scorn for heavy burst damage. Buy either Reactive or Spirit Shielding instead of this in lane if dealing with lots of unavoidable dmg. Sell if you need an Active Slot.

Deadlock Item

I

Sprint Boots

Early rotational speed and some extra regen. Builds into Enduring Speed later. Good for running boxes early.

Lane Counter-Buys

Read annotations of optional sections to learn

Deadlock Item

I

Close Quarters

Substitute for Monster Rounds if dealing with lots of unavoidable melee in lane, can combo with Rebuttal and/or Torment Pulse for crazy Melee Resist.

Deadlock Item

I

Rebuttal

Great if they are punch heavy players, or for Viscous Punches. Only buy if confident in your parries.

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Regen

Buy if you really are struggling to hold lane, but it will become a stall lane most likely. Best when unable to hit Scorns whatsoever.

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Stamina

Necessary buy against anyone who can remove a stamina like Haze or Warden. Good buy as well if you don't have good stamina management or are building into Arcane Surge.

Deadlock Item

II

Reactive Barrier

Bebop hard counter item. Good for dealing with stun heavy lanes that you are struggling to avoid.

Deadlock Item

II

Spirit Shielding

Great buy in current meta, huge amount of shielding against spirit users. Perfect buy into double spirit spam lanes.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

Second buys - Left to Right - Focusing cooldowns - GET A GAP CLOSER

Deadlock Item

II

Enduring Speed

Extra move speed and slow resist. Can be skipped/avoided if you need a Gap Closer.

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue

Compress Cooldown

Really need those ults, can be rushed over Enduring Speed if Combo is on cooldown. Get Transcendant after all Active Slots filled.

Deadlock Item

III

Torment Pulse

Large source of your damage, and helps with farm, lane clear, and tick dmg overall. Get Compress Cooldown first if your teammates are following your ults perfectly.

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Cooldown

Good for more Burrows and Sandblasts since they have long cooldowns too. By now you should buy a Gap Closer.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

Third buys - Any order

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Duration

Good item for just about everything right now, but the downside is your spin gets increased too, and that can hurt you in some situations. Good if your team needs an ult bot.

Deadlock Item

IV

Juggernaut

Great counter buy to gun heroes and melee spammers, but on its own won't protect you. AMAZING into Ricochet users.

Deadlock Item

IV

Spirit Burn

Late game you're able to proc this with just a Burrow & Scorn so this has some potential as a strong antiheal. Works best with Escalating Exposure.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Arctic Blast

Good for slow and the fact it completely stops movement and casting movement abilities. Makes proccing Spirit Burn trivially easy.

Gap Closers

Need ONE

Deadlock Item

II

Arcane Surge

Kind of a meh Gap Closer, but generally good for rotation and for the extra duration on ult and burrow if you time it.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Warp Stone

The best movement item in the game in my opinion. Short cooldown, instant teleport, and bullet resist.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

Instant gap closer and a disarm, perfect for fliers/Lash since it has crazy range. Most expensive of the options, and not good for escapes.

Armor

If you NEED resist

Deadlock Item

III

Bullet Resilience

Check Incoming damage and if mostly Bullet, buy this. Generally if you have Warp Stone and are still struggling against gun damage, skip this and buy a Disarming Hex.

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Resilience

Check Incoming damage and if mostly Spirit, buy this. Keep in mind that Spirit Shielding is a lot of shield on its own. Enchanter's Emblem is a cheaper alternative.

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellbreaker

Great against Lash, Talon, or anyone with super high spirit burst. Solid resists for countering debuff characters. Debuff Remover is better though if just looking for Debuff Resist.

Counter Items

You can ignore the optional sections if you just want a quick build

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Debuff Remover

Good item but you're so desperate for Active Slots it's hard to use sometimes, but some games it's just necessary to get.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Unstoppable

Great item for if they keep stunning you out of Ult or Burrow. Good knockup counter too.

Deadlock Item

IV

Plated Armor

Probably the best possible item for dealing with gun heroes. Especially for the ones that apply effects.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

Great Wraith/Pocket ult counter. The only cleanse item in the game that can clear negative effects from ultimates.

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue

Duration Extender

If you just wanna say I hate you to the person you're ulting. Kind of presses you for slots though.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Disarming Hex

Great item for dealing with gun heroes that are insanely oppressive. Only worth getting if a lot of disarm targets.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Silence Wave

Good counter buy for anyone that requires abilities for movement. Shuts down for almost 4 seconds.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Curse

I find myself buying Curse a lot just because there's so many things worth cancelling, and Knockdown just isn't fast enough.

Testing

Keep in mind these are just really out there buys that MAYBE work, only buy if you know what you're doing | twitch.tv/Falcon_DL

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Fleetfoot

INSANE item that provides slow resist, and more move speed than any other active item. This will make your escapes and rotates super fast. Short cooldown too so great uptime.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Alchemical Fire

Good for more damage on towers, and for defending a lane, but you are already good at defending lanes, and you are struggling for Active Slots.

Deadlock Item

II

Healbane

Good if you just need a cheap antiheal and if no one else is buying it its good to get since they dont stack with other Healbanes.

Deadlock Item

III

Counterspell

Great item in theory, but it takes a lot of practice to be good at. Perfect counter to Lash/Pocket/Wraith and just about anyone with a delayed acting ability.

Deadlock Item

III

Trophy Collector

Great item for snowballing early, but you really shouldn't struggle for any of these stats already.

Deadlock Item

IV

Witchmail

Good for against FULL spirit teams, really a necessity buy if pressed for slots.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Knockdown

Okay buy but really only good if dealing with a team who doesnt have any stuns.

Deadlock Item

IV

Escalating Exposure

This is what allows your damage to scale late game if they're buying resists, but it is not completely necessary. Very nice against spirit heavy comps. Works best with Spirit Burn.

Deadlock Item

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

Buy if you have full active slots since this will lower the cooldown on them.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Refresher

Honestly good for late game if you have multiple targets you need to shut down at all costs, but it's a hail mary play.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Scourge

AMAZING active item that gives huge spirit resist, and more AOE damage. Kind of presses you for active slots and really not that great right now with Capacitor being so prevalent.
