I'm caving in, you have to run nade now and it is really sad... :<

Item Build

CORE L-R EVERY SINGLE GAME

This L-R is PERFECTLY TIMED for EVERY MATCH without COUNTER BUYS. If you counter buy early, use your best judgement of what you REALLY NEED

Deadlock Item

I

Monster Rounds

Helps you shove, regen AND builds into cultist

Deadlock Item

I

Close Quarters

sell early for slots if needed

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Cultist Sacrifice

use EXCLUSIVELY on Tier 3 Neutrals (LAST thing you sell later)

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Warp Stone

makes up for this hero being REALLY sluggish. Make sure you DASH after using to KEEP MOMENTUM

Deadlock Item

III

Hollow Point

35% weapon damage, on top of -9% shread,

Deadlock Item

III

Weighted Shots

Great damage item, does kinda slow you down but I can play around it. Good alternative is Berserker or Point Blank if the move slow and StamRegen increase cripples u.

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Charge

Timed for when you MAX NADE, Imediate Power Spike for when you max it

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Vampiric Burst

Honestly insane value for when you get it (right after hollow point for shread) if used properly it is a HUGE damage up and INSANE survivability

Deadlock Item

II

Recharging Rush

Helps keep uptime on nade. (This item was kinda MADE for Venator tbh, more weapon damage AND ammo)

Deadlock Item

III

Rapid Recharge

Helps you SPAM NADES into a Mid fight. also helps with spellslinger uptime (Mid is where you get a MAJORITY of your value now after the health increases and scaleing nerfs)

Optionals

Deadlock Item

I

Restorative Shot

buy over close quarters if you have a hard lane

Deadlock Item

I

Rebuttal

Against a Billy in lane

Deadlock Item

I

Sprint Boots

good regen and faster box runs (if stomping lane skip)

Good Late Game Options

NOT L-R USE YOUR BRAIN. Make sure you buy AT LEAST one counter buy

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellslinger

BIG powerspike, with Vamp Burst, you will most likely out trade everyone. If you are already ahead, buy Siphon/Inhibitor. but IK people won't read this part so its here ;-;

Deadlock Item

IV

Siphon Bullets

REALLY GOOD LATE NOW percentage damage and 15% more weapon. GOING to get NERFED. Abuse NOW (update, still hasn't been nerfed lmao :D)

Deadlock Item

IV

Inhibitor

Not as good because of the nerfs, but still a broken ass item

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Colossus

If you NEED a FRONTLINER - NO OTHER REASON

Deadlock Item

IV

Juggernaut

slot locked pick when against gun or crazy slows

Deadlock Item

IV

Silencer

META SLOP Anti fun item, generaly amazing against even gun heros, but if there is a victor on the enemy team, it is EVEN BETTER

Deadlock Item

IV

Armor Piercing Rounds

TEMPO BUY, buy when the team has plated or a TON of bullet resists

Deadlock Item

IV

Lucky Shot

Luxury Recharging Rush replacement, not worth focusing, there are WAY better buys

Deadlock Item

III

Imbue [E]

Ballistic Enchantment

Big nade and BIG damage

Deadlock Item

IV

Glass Cannon

ONLY if you are BEHIND!

Counters

BUY AT LEAST ONE (If you don't like using your brain, just buy spirit resil)

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Resilience

Almost Always (never NOT valueble)

Deadlock Item

IV

Indomitable

Best in slot Counter Item rn`

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Metal Skin

"Help, their Haze is too fed and keeps solo ulting me!"

Deadlock Item

III

Escalating Resilience

Good against gun heros and melee, if bullet damage is the problem, you need metal skin NOT THIS

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Dispel Magic

Infernus, Mirage, pretty much everything is a debuff now, this is the ONLY way to counter it sadly

Deadlock Item

III

Counterspell

anti ult/lash item

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellbreaker

for when you are against a lot of spirit burst (transcendent cooldown works on this btw)

Deadlock Item

IV

Crippling Headshot

Generaly a good option late to help you and your team get more damage (also its just anti victor the item)

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Slowing Hex

mina infernus celeste etc.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Vortex Web

upgrade from slowing hex

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Unstoppable

If Needed, Usually I can get away with ONLY couterspell, but if dire buy this

IF YOU NEED A FRONTLINER ON YOUR TEAM

Venator is also a REALLY GOOD FRONTLINER, take this path if you need to be more tanky (Max gutshot first if you choose this route

I am the FACE of VENATOR
