One Tip for Every Deadlock Hero! Beginner’s Guide to learning new Deadlock Heroes
Don’t fall into the pattern of spamming heavy melee attacks. Enemies expect it. Mix in siphon life, ranged shots, and movement to keep opponents guessing.
Use your bombs to clear waves quickly—even if you’re not on a bomb build. Running into creeps with bombs and melee follow-ups helps secure fast farm.
Always enter fights with cooldowns ready. Chaining abilities together is the key to maximizing Billy’s impact in team fights.
Stay mobile and active. Roam the map, look for loot boxes, and gank frequently. Calico excels when surprising opponents and creating map pressure.
Keep a door ready near your guardian. This defensive setup makes it difficult for enemies to push lane and can trap opponents under your guardian.
With Stalker’s Mark, bleed damage builds over time. Delay your teleport until the last moment—or don’t use it at all—to maximize damage.
Don’t overestimate your range in the early game. Play defensively, build range items, and focus on healing and mobility until later scaling.
Use the Bird on cooldown. It’s a strong scouting tool, wave-clear option, and constant map pressure threat.
Focus on harassing opponents with fixation stacks. Pressure enemies early to deny their farm and secure lane control.

Pre-place bounce pads before fights. They enable extended lassos, quick escapes, and powerful setup plays.
Farm aggressively with Flame Dash and Afterburn to scale quickly. Once stocked with souls, roam and gank with your ultimate.
Stay in ultimate form as long as possible. Drop bombs, scout, and harass before slamming down for maximum impact.
Remember, his dome is both healing and denial. Use it to secure kills, block objectives, and stall enemy pushes.
Adjust positioning based on health and ultimate status. Play safe at low health but reposition aggressively when looking for ult setups.
Use ziplines early to gain a height advantage. Slam attacks from elevated positions make Lash far more threatening.
Think of her kit as a setup combo: grenades, heals, walls, and ult in sequence. Play reactively to punish overextending enemies.
Sustain yourself by healing off minions and jungle creeps with your basic ability. This keeps you topped up in early skirmishes.

Split push often and use your ultimate to rejoin fights. Mirage’s global mobility is central to her value.
Don’t hoard souls. Let carries farm while you roam, gank, and land combos to scale.
Treat ultimate as a lane pressure tool, not a global nuke. Use it to heal allies and stun enemies quickly during local fights.
Master grenade-at-your-feet setups before working into the full wall-grenade-carbine combo. Small steps build consistency.
Save your escape ability—don’t waste it farming. It’s your best survival tool.
Play safe early and mid-game. Focus on farming to unleash devastating late-game burst potential and Ultimates.
Use ultimate pressure to zone opponents. Enemies will avoid mid-health fights against Shiv—exploit their hesitation.
Spectral Assistant is vital. Use it proactively for damage boosts or defensively to escape.
Never die alone with ultimate. Getting picked wastes the ability and heavily punishes your team. Stay grouped when it’s active.
Keep distance at all times. Flight should create space, not close it—unless you’re certain of winning the fight.
Slow rolls with Goo Ball are more disruptive than fast ones. Move deliberately to control space and stun multiple enemies.
Remap your slide key to a more accessible button. Sliding is central to her kit, and ergonomics matter.
Don’t get stunned mid-ultimate. Use Leap, Barrier, or cover to safely channel before engaging.
Play aggressively with her teleport and close-range ultimate. Mid-to-close positioning works if you can reset safely.
Follow ability order: start with 1 for setup, then rope in with 2, and finish with 3. This combo secures kills efficiently.
This beginner’s guide provides quick, actionable tips for every Deadlock hero. While mastering full combos takes time, these small adjustments can immediately improve consistency and game impact, and hopefully lead you to having som more fun in your games!
