McGinnis
Controlla la battaglia con le sue torrette

Che si tratti di bombardare una posizione o di dividere la squadra nemica, la scelta del luogo è fondamentale per McGinnis. Può coprire la fuga della sua squadra che, una volta trincerata dietro il suo sbarramento, diventa difficile da espugnare.

Description

A spirit/support build with a heavy focus on spamming turrets and providing support to your allies.

Latest Updates:
4-July: ARE WE BACK?? Made some surface-level adjustments to accommodate for new cooldown item and spirit item changes.

Item Build

1

Monster Rounds first generally for faster wave clear, then either Extra Spirit for your specter or Extra Stamina for better mobility, then buy what you need for the situation.

1) More Regen

Deadlock Item

I

Rigenerazione extra

Necessary for lane sustain now we don't have bullet resist. Also good for Healing Tempo prep

Deadlock Item

I

Rigenerazione mistica

This can activate Healing Tempo hehehe

Deadlock Item

Potenziatore di guarigione

Extra regen discount makes this a decent lane item

1) Others

Deadlock Item

Salute extra

Fortitude my beloved

Deadlock Item

Imbue [E]

Espansione mistica

Having to imbue makes this item very niche, but sniper turrets are pretty neat

Deadlock Item

I

Amplific. colpi alla testa

Is THIS the secret to keeping Infernus and other pokers off your back?? Need more data!

Deadlock Item

I

Prosciug. salute corpo a corpo

Sometimes ya just gotta brawl it out.

2

Emblem first defensively, Compdown first offensively. Healbane vs high sustain targets, suppressor vs gunners, Mystic Slow preferable for turret/barrage debuff stacking.

2) Turret Prep

Deadlock Item

II

Emblema dell'incantatore

Great lane finisher, sell later to make room for something situational

Deadlock Item

II

Rallentamento mistico

Hold 'em down, hold 'em down

2) Countering

Deadlock Item

II

Maledizione curativa

If the enemy team has a lot of sustain (e.g. Abrams, Infernus, Mo & Krill), you'll want this and Inhibitor.

Deadlock Item

II

Riduttore debuff

I just really hate infernus and abrams lol

Deadlock Item

I

Obiezione

UNO Reverse dat Viscoos

2) Movement

Deadlock Item

II

Velocità persistente

Anti-Kelvin countering, upgrades into anti-gun countering

Deadlock Item

II

Traditore

funni budget toxic bullets

3

Use turrets to establish a supporting fire backline for team fights, or to defend your objectives or siege their objectives. Get Transcendent if you're buying a lot of active items or want more turret spam power, otherwise Healing Tempo will be a strong boon for you, your turrets, your troopers, and your teammates.

3) Turret Core

Deadlock Item

III

Ricarica rapida

Doesn't give cooldown, sadly, but still great combo with Healing Tempo and Boundless Spirit

Deadlock Item

III

Ricarica breve

Get this first to dispell the imbuing

Deadlock Item

III

Rigenerazione splendente

Toss out a turret to benefit from Healing Tempo

3) Core Finishers

Deadlock Item

Imbue [E]

Attiva

Frammento di eco

It's so expensive it's hard to justify buying late game :(

Deadlock Item

IV

Spirito sconfinato

Just a Spirit topper now, still good for Specter boosting

Deadlock Item

IV

Pergamena fulminante

Since Wall tends to be maxxed last, buying this to put Stun on Barrage is very useful.

Deadlock Item

IV

Ritmo di guarigione

This item is, honestly, overpowered regardless of what you're building.

4)

After your first T4 purchase, figure out what role you need to play for your team and buy from these cats appropriately. I prefer Heroic Aura, Bullet Resilience, and Escalating Exposure myself, for tanky support.

4) Tank Core

Deadlock Item

IV

Juggernaut

This annd Bullet Resilience are all you're gonna need for bullet resist

4) Support Core

Deadlock Item

III

Espansione maggiore

Get this to undo the imbuing earlier, very important for specter boosting

Deadlock Item

III

Attiva

Aura eroica

Passive applies to troopers, turrets, and ally heroes. Very useful.

Deadlock Item

Esplosione curativa

In case of specter deniers or just to push waves

4) Damage Core

Deadlock Item

II

Pallottole trita-spirito

Resist debuff instead of spirit amp makes this a great support item

Deadlock Item

II

Vulnerabilità mistica

We go hard on spirit damage this game

Deadlock Item

III

Forza d'animo

CHERISH ALWAYS
