Today, we are talking about all the released Deadlock characters and their abilities. So with that, let’s begin!

All Deadlock Heroes and Their Abilities

As Deadlock is in early development, heroes, their design, and even abilities can change. We will keep this guide updated with the latest changes. We will also add the new heroes as soon as they are on the official roster. In the list below we have mentioned all the released Deadlock heroes and their abilities in alphabetical order.

Abrams

• Siphon Life: Create a blue area around Abrams. While active, drain health from enemies in front of you within range.
• Shoulder Charge: Rush ahead, colliding with enemies and drawing them into your path. You receive a speed boost when you clash with enemy Heroes.
• Infernal Resilience (Passive): Regain a percentage of incoming damage gradually over time. The heal can be boosted using healing booster Vitality items.
• Seismic Impact (Ultimate): Launch yourself into the air, then pick a landing spot to crash down on. The resulting impact will damage and stun any enemies within range.

Bebop

• Exploding Uppercut: Inflicts light melee damage on nearby enemies, knocking them back. Upon landing, the enemies deal area damage to nearby targets. Friendly units are unaffected.
• Sticky Bomb: Plant a sticky bomb on a nearby target, exploding after a short delay and causing massive damage. Each enemy hero hit boosts the bomb’s damage by 2.5%.
• Hook: Fire a grappling hook that latches onto the first hero it encounters, drawing them in. It inflicts damage if it is an enemy hero. The Hook doesn’t affect minions.
• Hyper Beam (Ultimate): Unleash a powerful laser beam that deals damage and slows enemies. While charging, you have reduced movement and turn speed. If you use the laser while in the air, you will hover in place while firing.

Dynamo

• Kinetic Pulse: Release a burst of energy that propels enemies into the air. Affects all units in the area after a brief animation.
• Quantum Entanglement: Dynamo vanishes briefly, then reappears nearby with a reloaded weapon and increased fire rate for the next magazine. You can also bring allies with you, saving them from hostile situations.
• Rejuvenating Aurora: Dynamo channels a green aura around him. While channeling, you and any allies nearby gradually regain health over time.
• Singularity (Ultimate): Create a black hole that pulls and damages nearby enemies. Upon its dissipation, enemies are launched into the air.

Grey Talon

• Charged Shot: Charge up a power shot that damages and pierces through enemies. You can hold the shot using the ability or fire button and launch at your desire.
• Rain of Arrows: Using this ability lifts you into the air for a slow, controlled flight. In flight mode, your weapon’s power and accuracy increase. Hold the Space button to get back onto the ground.
• Immobilizing Trap: Place a trap that becomes active when an enemy steps on it. Upon activation, it will immobilize the enemy.
• Guided Owl (Ultimate): Summon a spirit owl with a 1.5-second cast time that you can guide to its target, where it will explode and deal heavy damage. Holding the fire button will increase the owl’s speed while pressing the Space button destroys it.

Haze

• Sleep Dagger: Launch a dagger that deals damage and puts the target enemy to sleep. The target will awake from sleep shortly after being wounded. Throwing the dagger does not reveal an invisible Haze. Ability won’t interrupt enemies’ channeling abilities.
• Smoke Bomb: Casting it immediately hides Haze from view, gaining the ability to move at high speeds. Attacks reveal your location. Nearby opponents can detect your presence despite your invisibility.
• Fixation (Passive): Shooting a target repeatedly increases your bullet damage against that target. Each successful hit grants one stack, while headshots award two stacks. These stacks boost your damage output, making subsequent hits more effective.
• Bullet Dance (Ultimate): Launch a rapid-fire assault on nearby enemies, hitting your targets with unerring accuracy. During this onslaught, Haze’s firing rate accelerates, and she becomes more evasive against enemy fire. Increasing Spirit power will add fire rate to the ultimate.

Infernus

• Catalyst: Release napalm bomb that hinders enemy mobility and enhances Infernus’s damage output.
• Flame Dash: Move forward with relentless speed, leaving a fire path that consumes your enemies. Holding the fire button will increase the running speed.
• Afterburn (Passive): Normal bullets inflict a persistent burning effect on enemies. Infernus’s attacks can extend the duration of this burn with every hit after the passive activates.
• Concussive Combustion (Ultimate): Become a living bomb and explode after a delay. Once you explode, you will inflict heavy damage on enemies within the area and stun them.

• Air Drop (Ultimate): Launch yourself and a chosen ally or explosive into the air. Your ally becomes impervious to bullets but sacrifices their ability to attack or use skills. Dropping the ally or the explosive unleashes a destructive blast that slows down enemies. Ivy and the ally gain a protective shield upon landing. Cast speed is faster when picking up teammates. Can increase the flying speed with the fire button and drop the ally or the explosive with the ADS button.

Kelvin

• Frost Grenade: Hurl a grenade that explodes into a cloud of freezing ice, inflicting damage and slowing enemies within its radius.
• Ice Path: Kelvin summons a frosty path that floats above the ground, granting him and his allies a movement speed boost. He also becomes 50% resistant to slow effects. Even enemies can travel on this icy bridge, making it a double-edged sword in combat. Using the dodge button helps you travel upwards while using the crouch button takes you towards the ground.
• Arctic Beam: Kelvin projects a beam of intense cold energy forward, damaging and slowing anything it strikes. The beam’s chilling effect intensifies with each hit, and at maximum strength, it can disarm opponents. While using Arctic Beam, Kelvin’s movement speed is reduced, but this penalty is negated when he utilizes Ice Path.
• Frozen Shelter: Use chilling powers to solidify the air into a protective barrier, shielding Kelvin from harm. Within this icy dome, Kelvin and his allies gain bonus HP regeneration while enemies are slowed.

Lady Geist

• Essence Bomb: Sacrifice some of your health to launch a bomb that deals damage after a brief arm time. Self-damage type is Spirit and can be mitigated.
• Life Drain: Cast a tether that attaches to a target within range and line of sight. The tether drains the target’s health over time, healing you in the process. While the tether is active, your movement speed is halved. You can still attack or use other abilities, but the tether will break if you move too far away.
• Malice: By sacrificing some of your health, you can launch blood shards that inflict a stack of Malice on your target. With each additional stack, the enemy’s movement slows, and they become more vulnerable to your attacks. However, the slowing effect gradually declines.
• Soul Exchange (Ultimate): Lady Geist exchanges her health with a targeted enemy. To use it, your enemy must have more health than you. However, there’s a limit to how low you can reduce an enemy’s health, even if you have less health yourself.

Lash

• Ground Strike: Using this ability, Lash strikes the ground forcefully, harming enemies in his path. If you initiate this attack while in the air, you’ll rapidly drop to the ground.
• Grapple: By gliding through the air, you can focus your energy towards a target, enhancing your weapon’s power. This increased damage is additive, making it stack with other bonuses. Grappling with an opponent not only restores stamina but also allows you to perform unlimited air jumps and dashes, granting you incredible aerial mobility.
• Flog: Instantly whip enemies with your lash, stealing life from them.
• Death Slam (Ultimate): Target your enemies to bind them with whips. After channeling, the connected foes will be hoisted into the air and stunned, before being forcefully slammed back to the ground.

• Mini Turret: A deployable Mini Turret will automatically engage hostile targets. This turret has a limited lifespan before it deactivates. It inherits 40% of McGinnis’s maximum health and boasts a 60% Spirit Resistance. While effective against most enemies, it deals reduced damage to troopers and objectives.

Shiv

• Serrated Knives: A well-aimed knife that can impose damage and slow an enemy’s movement.

When your rage is maxed out, the knife will ricochet to another enemy, inflicting the same effects.
