Description

Fully annotated!

This is a spirit build! We focus on slash and ult early! It might be worth levelling bombs before slash, but I personally prefer levelling slash since it's a more consistent ability.

Item Build

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame

Deadlock Item

I

Drain de mêlée

Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we upgrade this into Lifestrike for more sustain. Procs on your 2 as well!

Deadlock Item

III

Frappe fortifiante

Use off CD with heavy melee in lane. It's a 100 health heal on a 4 sec CD. Just so good for sustain, means you never have to leave lane. Lets you permafight in lane.

Deadlock Item

II

Traitre

Great poke in lane and gives you move speed for chasing.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Souffle glacial

Adds to your burst damage, and the slow is great. We also can upgrade this into Arctic Blast.

Deadlock Item

I

Frappe spirituelle

A bunch of extra damage on our 2 and punches. We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch.

Deadlock Item

I

Bottes de course

Must buy for rotating around the map and ganking other lanes.

Deadlock Item

II

Emblème enchanteur

Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.

Early Situationals

Deadlock Item

I

Balles antimonstres

Great if enemies are pushing to your tower or you need to push and take objectives.

Deadlock Item

I

Tir curatif

Great healing if you hit it off cooldown, the weapon damage is also nice early. If you can't save for Lifestrike this is a good pickup.

Deadlock Item

I

Bonus de régénération

If you don't like using Resto Shot this is good for healing. Usually not needed since you rush Lifestrike.

Deadlock Item

I

Active

Rite de guérison

Great for healing if you get really low in lane. Sprint speed is also nice for rotating.

Deadlock Item

I

Bonus de PV

Extra health is great in lane and we can upgrade this to Fortitude later. Only buy if you need the survivability in lane.

Deadlock Item

I

Réfutation

Great against Viscous in lane since it works against Viscous Puddle Punches. Also a very good item against people building melee (usually Abrams). Only buy if you can actually parry consistently.

Early-Mid

If you lack slots, upgrade items.

Deadlock Item

III

Razzia spirituelle

Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2. Great damage over the course of a game. Makes you far better in 1v1s as well.

Deadlock Item

III

Onde de tourment

Great damage over the course of a game/fight. And makes you a little tankier. Also helps with farming. Just super good core item for us.

Deadlock Item

II

Vitesse persistante

If you are boxmaxxing with cat form then buy this. The slow resist is also good if that is being an issue.

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue [E]

Récupération comprimée

More uptime on your ult means more fights you can take.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

Get as needed.

Deadlock Item

III

Récupération supérieure

Cooldown reduction is really useful. Gives you way more uptime.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Explosion arctique

Really great item, great for catching people and for clearing waves in cat form. The combo with it is Arctic Blast, 2 immediately so the AB travels with you, light punch, 1, 4.

Deadlock Item

II

Esprit amélioré

Upgrades into Boundless, helps with damage. I often skip this for a 6k item, since by this point you are usually tight on slots due to buying counters.

Deadlock Item

III

Résilience balistique

For bullet resist since you have none built into the core. Can skip if you aren't taking much gun damage or already have anti-bullet items.

Situationals

Pick and choose depending on what you need. Some can be built in lane/early.

Deadlock Item

III

Contresort

Great against almost everything in the game. Especially Lash.

Deadlock Item

II

Atténuateur d'effets négatifs

No longer works on parry stun. But still a great pick up most games.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Dissipateur d'effets négatifs

Really great against a ton of characters, especially Vindicta, Infernus, and others who debuff you.

Deadlock Item

III

Résilience spirituelle

If you need anti-spirit. Very common buy.

Deadlock Item

III

Fortitude

Purchase if you want to stay on the map. The move speed is great for rotating, the heal lets you stay on the map longer, and the weapon damage is really nice.

Deadlock Item

III

Sentinelle du voile

I have been testing this out since it got buffed, it is quite nice for ambushes and the heal is great in the mid game for staying on the map (like Fortitude). If you get this, get it quite early.

Deadlock Item

II

Bouclier spirituel

Got nerfed and no longer scales with spirit power but instead with boons, decent early still.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Médaillon de soin

Really nice for the stamina. Healing got a big nerf so is meh now. Great to pick up for general survivability.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Retour de balle

Got nerfed but is still good against gun carries. Gives you lots of survivability. Often build in lane.

Deadlock Item

II

Protection d'urgence

Nice in some lanes such as against Bebop. And late game has good spirit scaling.

Deadlock Item

II

Châtiment curatif

Easy to proc anti-heal. The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.

Deadlock Item

II

Sabotage

Great at stopping gun carries. Super good in lane against gun characters. Easy to proc and can go on many people.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Malédiction de ralentissement

Good against Lash, Pocket, Mina, and other movement focused people. Often a must buy against a good Mina.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Coup d'enclume

If no one else on your team is going to buy this and you really need to stop a Vindicta/GT or Seven ult.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Sape spirituelle

Builds into Silence Wave, easy to use and great for 1v1s.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Onde de silence

Very strong at the moment, silence is very good against many characters and it reduces their resist. I recommend against characters like Yamato and Pocket.

Usual Later Items

Get depending on game state. If you don't know what to get, go Scourge first.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Fléau

Really good. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. You can rush earlier if you feel it would be good or have the money.

Deadlock Item

IV

Implacable

Great against gun carries and is good to pick up if you have no free slots.

Deadlock Item

IV

Récupération transcendante

Not worth unless you have 3 Active Items in my opinion. But once you do its a very good upgrade and good for slots.

Deadlock Item

IV

Profusion spirituelle

Gives you some much needed damage in the late game with your ult and gloom bombs. Great if you are trying to oneshot their carries.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Refuge céleste

Great on Calico, helps you live much longer. The cooldown for it is super short. Great with Transcendent CD.

Deadlock Item

II

Vulnérabilité mystique

Upgrades into Escalating Exposure.

Deadlock Item

IV

Exposition spirituelle

Only get after Scourge. Great for anti-tank and general increased damage for your team.

Deadlock Item

IV

Brulure spirituelle

Anti-heal + more burst damage. If you need to burst carries this is really useful.

Situational Late Items

You can get some of these earlier as counter buys.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Intouchable

Really great in late teamfights. Especially good if you are really struggling against CC. Or for midboss.

Deadlock Item

IV

Brise-magie

Incredible against Lash, Grey Talon, and any other spirit burst characters.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Frappe spectrale

Amazing for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.

Deadlock Item

IV

Armure de plates

Great but usually only buy once you already have bullet resist. Great against Haze.

Deadlock Item

IV

Cuirasse ensorcelée

Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult) and have Spirit Resilience already.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Colosse

Extra resists and health is great. Also works as an alternative upgrade for Extra Health.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Malédiction

If you need to screw over one enemy in particular.

Other Random Situationals and Items I am Testing!

I wouldn't buy anything here really. They probably suck!

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Tapis volant

Fun and silly! Also good escape tool. Just worse to get than other 6ks though.

Deadlock Item

III

Imbue [E]

Regain de puissance

It's nice on your bombs. You like all the things it gives you. I just personally prefer to focus on slash earlier since bombs are inconsistent to hit before you get Arctic Blast. You can get after AB!

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Décomposition

I don't think this is really all that worth it compared to just getting Healbane. Since any person incredibly reliant on healing will just get Debuff Remover. But maybe get against Mo or Abrams.

Deadlock Item

III

Antichar

There isn't much reason to get this since you want your gloom bombs to do over 165, which makes this a super late game item, and by that point there are better items to get.

Deadlock Item

III

Régénération radieuse

Kind of fun, but not very good. Adds up to a decent amount of heal in longer fights since Torment Pulse and Scourge easily procs it.

Deadlock Item

II

Ralentissement mystique

Just feels really nice, makes it super easy to hit your ults second/end damage burst. Probably also nice against like Vyper.

Deadlock Item

III

Trophée de chasse

DO NOT EVER BUILD THIS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU WILL GET LOTS OF STACKS. This is often a trap item, which puts you -3k souls down, without giving you anything much in return until later.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Cuir blindé

This since it got buffed is actually kinda really good against some characters, especially Haze. I'd get this if just buying Bullet Resilience or Juggernaut isn't enough maybe.

Deadlock Item

II

Veste de combat

Kinda nice. The bullet resist is good and the weapon damage/fire rate is meh. I don't usually go this since I usually just rush Bullet Res, Return Fire, or Surpressor against gun problems

Deadlock Item

II

Bouclier balistique

It's nice, but I just prefer to go Return Fire or Suppressor or rush Bullet Resilience early.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Sacrifice rituel

This is kinda nice for easily doing T3 camps in the early game. The stats it gives are nice but aren't super impactful on us.

Ability Point Order

Bombes moroses
