Description

12/5 update: 4.8k gun investment feels like its worth
going for now. Maxing out on slow resist is op now that all bullets slow.

Max whatever you feel is best at 29k all 3 choices are viable.

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

Item Build

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_Lane

Our power spikes are at 2.7k T2 bolt, 4.8k spirit investment, and 7.7k for T3 bolt. Play lane conservatively until atleast T2 bolt. Buy rite if you have to for yourself or your lane partner.

Finish gun / vitality

If playing active finish vitality first. otherwise finish orange first.

Deadlock Item

Active

Fleetfoot

Best 1600 orange in my opinion. We're so fast that slow resist is a really valuable stat.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Cultist Sacrifice

Upgrades from monster rounds and gives us a bunch of good stats. Try to avoid using this on anything besides a T3.

Deadlock Item

II

Enduring Speed

Zoom zoom and slow resist goated item.

Deadlock Item

III

Veil Walker

The best item to stay active on the map and ensure you get to steal whatever ult you want.

Core Wizard Tools

Usually in this order but whatever you think is best. expansion and duration makes every ult and rabbit insane.

Deadlock Item

I

Imbue [E]

Mystic Expansion

Just makes hitting bolts easier. Can take t3 neutrals once you have t3 bolt / t2 assistant.

Deadlock Item

Imbue [E]

Compress Cooldown

More bolts more pain

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Cooldown

All of our power is in our buttons and this gives us more buttons.

Deadlock Item

III

Greater Expansion

Amazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and almost every ult you steal.

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Duration

Really strong for rabbit, items, and most ults you steal. Also makes it easier to abuse the new double TP we get with assistant.

Endgame Choices

Read annotations and buy off vibes

Deadlock Item

IV

Boundless Spirit

99% of the time the first item I buy from here unless they are all stacked spirit res and spellbreakers. You don't need more damage after this.

Deadlock Item

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

Don't like buying this unless full actives.

Deadlock Item

Imbue [E]

Active

Echo Shard

Always broken with max rabbit.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Scourge

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

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Magic Carpet

Still my favorite item on this hero but now that walkers are way harder to kill I don't think its worth going for every game.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Focus Lens

multiple cooldown nerfs later have made this item still good but situational.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

Good if getting owned by pocket / drifter / ivy ult

These items all suck do not buy them.

Deadlock Item

III

Tankbuster

only affects 1 bolt out of the 50 you throw per fight.

Deadlock Item

IV

Spirit Burn

If you need antiheal buy decay / healbane / toxic

Deadlock Item

IV

Imbue [E]

Mystic Reverb

Only passable if you do the double damage reverb tech which is a pain in the ass. This item costs way too much for how little it does.

Situational items that sometimes come up

Deadlock Item

I

Active

Healing Rite

best lane sustain option if you need it.

Deadlock Item

I

Rebuttal

For the cavemen

Deadlock Item

II

Healbane

Against tankier lineups (shiv, geist, abrams, mo) go this over enchanters

Deadlock Item

II

Reactive Barrier

Even though it got a huge CD nerf this item is still really good for spirit scaling heroes like us. If getting owned by haze / bebop / abrams this is a good buy

Deadlock Item

III

Trophy Collector

Can be bought as an alternative to enduring speed if you're playing hyper active straight out of the lane and think you can get a bunch of early stacks.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Warp Stone

Cheap and a ton of survivability as well as really good for enabling certain ults like pocket / dynamo / lash

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Metal Skin

Best anti gun hero item on this hero and often necessary to use seven and warden ults properly. Now that capacitor is nerfed this and disarming hex are by far our best anti gun tools.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Slowing Hex

Good if they have a lot of elusive heroes. Never upgrade to Vortex.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Decay

Against tankier lineups (shiv, geist, abrams, mo, bebop) go this over focus lens

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Disarming Hex

Absurdly strong vs gun heavy lineups. Low cd and benefits from the duration we buy.

Deadlock Item

III

Toxic Bullets

Against full chungus lineups this isn't bad. Procs in only 2 shots of our gun and scales with both spirit and duration.
