How to Billy Lane

Billy's lane is a bit weaker now, but our wave clear is stronger than most characters as you can spam light melees on troopers while you are reloading, so you can always have pressure. [ - ] Enemies are forced to respect you as walking up to the bridge and beyond gives you enough space to punish them hard. With Blasted you win every melee trade, and with Rising Ram and Bashdown you keep them out of position. [ - ] Look for opportunities to punish overextension whenever possible. Ideally wave prio is more important but if the enemy is disrespecting your space or hard pressuring your lane partner on your side you need to be there immediately. [ - ] Smart enemies will not give you space to kill them with, so in this scenario, shove wave hard and leave to go box and get even stronger. The enemy will either make an aggressive play for you to punish or you will get strong enough from wave shoving and box farming to dive them under their tower. [ - ] When your ultimate comes up, try to force value on it as soon as possible. The moment they give you space instantly dive with ult. [ - ] Golden rule: communicate with your lane partner when you're diving !!!

Deadlock Item

I

​เมเล​ไลฟ์​สตีล​

Activates on Bashdown. Heavy melee minion waves to keep the cooldown short. Feel free to sell this first.

Deadlock Item

I

​มอนสเตอร์​ราวด์​

Helps you kill all NPCs faster to gain wave prio and take jungle faster. Take less chip damage from all NPCs. Super good item.

Deadlock Item

I

​โคลส​ควอร์เตอร์​

Melee resist and bonus damage against close range targets. Upgrades into Point Blank which is a very strong item for Billy.

Deadlock Item

I

​สปิริต​สไตรก์​

Nice burst damage early on that builds into the lovely lovely Spirit Snatch.

Deadlock Item

II

​เมเล​ชาร์จ​

Makes heavy melees good. When active this doubles your Blasted HP gain, so ALWAYS pop Blasted first now.

Deadlock Item

III

​ไลฟ์​สไตรก์​

Definitely way weaker, especially early on. Works well with Colossus. Much later provides nice relevant bursts.

Deadlock Item

II

​เอนดิวริง​สปีด​

Must have item to stay in your enemies' face, better than Sprint Boots as it improves your move speed instead of sprint speed.

Deadlock Item

II

​สโลวิง​บุลเล็ต​

Feels good to keep targets right next you. Dash distance reduction gets more and more important the better your opponent is.

Body Hurt

Deadlock Item

I

กดใช้

​ฮีลลิง​ไรต์​

Actually OP item. Use this inbetween waves and hit boxes, take sinners, or take camps. Can be bought later if you're omega pooping on the enemy lane (would still buy anyway though).

Deadlock Item

I

​เอ็กซ์ตร้า​รีเจน​

Very solid green item, always worth taking if you're taking more damage than you'd like.

Deadlock Item

I

​เอ็กซ์ตร้า​เฮลธ์​

Good for surviving big bursts more. Kind of emulates the health difference we had with early Lifestrike. Upgrades into Colossus in late game.

Deadlock Item

I

รีบัตเทิล

For the naughty laners who like to melee you a lot. Don't just spam it like a bot, that will get you killed.

Deadlock Item

II

​รีแอกทีฟ​แบร์ริเออร์​

Super clutch against cc from Haze, Paige, Mo & Krill, etc. Activates when hyperlined or parried as well.

Deadlock Item

II

​สปิริต​ชีลดิง​

Nerfed, but still good. Now not the answer to everything but still worth considering.

How to Billy Mid-Game

After lane I would generally recommend trying to play around your ult's cooldown. Farm by catching trooper waves and stealing enemy jungling. Using Blasted in jungle will allow you to leave camps with more HP than you entered with. [ - ] Make sure to pause jungling to prioritize catching the nearest wave EVERY time, the jungle will still be there and is worth less than troopers. [ - ] When ult is off cooldown, keep farming but look at your map and try to scope out where a fight is going to happen and start rotating. If one is already happening and you can make it, start rotating. Billy is an insane teamfighter when his ult is ready. You can also rotate for fights when you have no ult if you can gank quickly. Lifestrike is super nerfed and not viable until late, try to fight with Blasted up only!!!

​สปิริต​สแนตช์​

Still an insane item, arguably even better on Billy now once Bashdown reaches Lv3. Helps you reach bigger burst with Bashdown.

Deadlock Item

II

​บุลเล็ต​รีซิสต์​เชรดเดอร์​

Resist, shred, and gets you 4.8k spirit. Synergizes well with Torment Pulse.

Deadlock Item

III

​สปิริต​รีซิเลียนซ์​

Spirit damage feels pretty prevalent as a frontliner right now, so I personally take Spirit Resilience at some point in the game. Very strong effect that pairs well with more spirit resist or Frenzy.

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue [E]

​ดูเรชัน​เอ็กซ์เทน​เดอร์​

Blasted is SUPER important this patch and you're way less OP without it active. Duration Extender also returns Blasted jungling to its former glory.

Bullet Resist

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​ฮีโรอิก​ออรา​

Bullet resist for everyone around you, move speed, fire rate, and winions all in one. Even better if you have a teammate with summons (Graves or McGinnis).

Deadlock Item

III

​เอสกาเลติง​รีซิเลียนซ์​

Great stat increases + bullet resist that scales pretty high and lasts a long time. Has no fall-off range so you can shoot targets from afar to get your resist stacks early.

Deadlock Item

II

​แบตเทิล​เวส​

Nice bullet resist and damage output increase.

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​วาร์ป​สโตน​

Mobility to get in and/or out paired with a huge resist buff.

Deadlock Item

​บุลเล็ต​รีซิเลียนซ์​

More useful now than pre-November patch. Fat resist bonus when low.

Deadlock Item

IV

​เพลตเต็ด​อาร์เมอร์​​

Very good item against really strong gun characters when you already have some bullet resist.

Spirit Resist

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​บลัด​ทริบิวต์​

Gives spirit resist, fire rate, and FAT debuff resist. Definitely pick into hard CC.

Deadlock Item

II

กดใช้

​โคลด์​ฟรอนต์​

Gives spirit resist and is lowkey a little OP. Strong early damage that scales and slows for a long duration. Effectively a 5th ability. Do not sleep on this item.

Deadlock Item

III

​เกรตเทอร์​เอ็กซ์แพนชัน​

Synergizes with all your Bashdown and Chain Gang very well and also gives you spirit resist on top.

Deadlock Item

II

​เอนแชนเตอร์​เอมเบลม​

Very good spirit power (+ resist) increase item. Spirit power not only increases your damage but also your Blasted bonus HP scaling.

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​ดิสเปล​เมจิก​

Can be used to clear debuffs and curses like Warden's Binding Word or Vindicta's Stake. New spirit resist makes it even better into characters like Infernus.

Deadlock Item

IV

สเปล​เบรกเกอร์

Not only helps you eat large spirit damage chunks but gives base spirit and debuff resist too.

Situational Counters

Deadlock Item

II

​ดีบัฟ​รีดิวเซอร์​

Big into cc heavy teams, works well with Reactive Barrier and upgrades into Spellbreaker or Unstoppable.

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​เมทัล​สกิน​

Haze ult build is very popular right now but Metal Skin will help you avoid being insta-deleted.

Deadlock Item

III

เคาน์เตอร์​สเปล

Super good item, highly recommend against characters who rely on their abilities. Can also parry walker stomp to proc a free heal and stat bonus.

Deadlock Item

IV

กดใช้

​ดิไวน์​แบร์ริเออร์​

If you're too grandpa to Counterspell Affliction in time (me) this item will be a very expensive band-aid to your poor reaction time.

Deadlock Item

IV

กดใช้

​อันสต็อป​เอเบิล​

With everyone super strong right now CC is king more than ever. Look at the enemy team comp and determine if you need to survive one million stuns with Unstoppable.

Deadlock Item

II

กดใช้

​สโลวิง​เฮ็กซ์​

Better item now. Silences movement abilities, so it's very good for shutting down characters who rely on them like Lash, Mina, or Infernus.

Deadlock Item

II

​ซัปเพรส​เซอร์​

Very helpful when played into characters that rely on their m1.

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​น็อกดาวน์​

Like Slowing Hex, kind of OP, lets you get picks easier and shuts down people in the sky.

Deadlock Item

กดใช้

​ไซเลนซ์​เวฟ​

Fallen from grace since last patch but still a silence which proves useful when ambushing enemies.

Deadlock Item

​เคิร์ส​​เรลิก​

Another item to shutdown carries with, boasting even more debuffs and clearing all buffs.

How to Billy WIN!!!

As the game progresses past the 20 minute mark, respawn timers will get much longer and deaths will result in opportunities for teams to make plays for objectives like walkers or mid-boss. [ - ] In the late game communicate with your team to keep waves shoved safely and avoid anyone being caught alone. [ - ] Prioritize safely collecting more souls while also looking for opportunities to get picks on the enemy team. Depending on the target, you may be able to mid-boss off one pick (high value pit fighters such as Dynamo or Abrams), but in most cases two picks is the safest mid-boss scenario. [ - ] Adjust your build to what is most necessary, sometimes it's worth grabbing one or two different items per game. Use your head and be smart in your items. [ - ] Ultimately, winning the game requires you to turn on your mic and work together.

​พอยต์​แบลงก์​

Huge damage increase up close, which is where all your fights will be. Gives a slow effect as well to help you stay on top of your target.

Deadlock Item

IV

กดใช้

​โคลอสซัส​

Fat HP increase + insane resists and more weapon damage. Very good tank item. Now gives bonus melee damage when active, which is nice.

Deadlock Item

IV

​เฟรนซี​

Very good item to resist incoming spirit damage and retaliate with bonus stats. In primarily spirit comps, pair with Spirit Resilience for 75% resist.

Deadlock Item

IV

​ครัชชิง​ฟิสต์​

Only makes sense to invest in more utility since we have Melee Charge. The stun can be really useful for interrupting channels.

Antiheal

Deadlock Item

II

​ฮีลเบน​

Cheap antiheal and heals on kill. Great for ganking playstyle.

Deadlock Item

IV

​อินฮิบิเตอร์​

Like Silencer, this item works with Bashdown, so you can affect multiple people at once. Gives a HUGE damage bonus and really good bonus health too. Destroy Abrams.

Deadlock Item

III

​ท็อกซิก​บุลเล็ต​

Strong antiheal and percent health bleed. Gives no stat bonuses which kind of sucks but this item is still good.

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​ดีเคย์​

50% heal reduction is pretty large and also bleeds 30% of someone's health for its duration. Gives bonus spirit power and health which are very nice.

Great Late Game Alternatives

Deadlock Item

III

​ทอร์เมนต์​พัลส์​

A lot of DPS by being near people, usually bought in mid-game but I personally don't prioritize spirit damage as much on this character.

Deadlock Item

IV

กดใช้

​วอร์เท็กซ์​เว็บ​

Insane CC item. Pairs really well with Bashdown and Chain Gang. With Vortex Web you dictate the teamfight.

Deadlock Item

IV

​บาวด์เลส​สปิริต​

If you're really agead or don't have any particular item you need to buy scaling your Blasted even further is pretty big.

Deadlock Item

IV

​จักเกอร์น็อต​

Great tank item to compliment bullet resists when going against multiple gun builds.

Deadlock Item

IV

กดใช้

​แวมไพริก​เบิร์สต์​

Less healing than Leech passively but when active component is used it heals you by over 1000. With Frenzy pop Vampiric Burst below 50% HP to maximize fire rate and healing.

Deadlock Item

IV

​ไซฟอน​บุลเล็ต​

Testing, but siphon bullets might be super back.

Deadlock Item

IV

​คริปพลิง​เฮดช็อต​

Super easy to activate shred for both damage types + antiheal. Super necessary into high resistance frontliners like Yamato, Abrams, Victor, etc.

Deadlock Item

IV

​ไซเลนเซอร์​

Lowers enemy spirit damage output, and silences them. It builds up stacks on your Bashdown so you can hit multiple people with it at once. Very good.

More Raw Damage

Deadlock Item

II

​ไททานิก​แม็กกาซีน​

Even more ammo and gun damage. Extra ammo is important because it scales our melee ammo replenish and lets us mix up our melee mindgames.

Deadlock Item

III

​เวทเต็ด​ช็อต​

Builds from Slowing Bullets and gives a large weapon damage increase. Makes it extremely hard to get away from you. Best into characters dashing a lot.

Deadlock Item

III

Imbue [E]

บัลลิสติก​เอนชานต์เมนต์

This item is INSANE damage. Cultist Sacrifice is less necessary with how squishy jungle is now, and this grants you the range and damage aspect but better early on.

Deadlock Item

IV

กดใช้

คาปาซิเตอร์

Higher DPS and hard movement lock on whoever you hit. Very easy to hit targets with the active component after Rising Ram or Bashdown. Useful for slippery targets.

Bullet Resist Shred

Deadlock Item

II

สตอล์กเกอร์

Not terrible but the bleed doesn't seem to have much of a purpose in mid-game still after its rework.

Deadlock Item

III

กดใช้

​อัลเคมิคัล​ไฟร์​

Strong for ult usage and mid-boss fights. Bashdown and Rising Ram soft cc can be used to force people to stay in the fire.

Deadlock Item

III

​ฮันเตอร์​ออรา​

Big bullet resist shred on alone targets, and bullet resist shred around people in general.
