Best Tips to Use Deadlock Public Builds
- You can select the public build during the lobby waiting screen. This will save you time once you load into the game. Remember, you cannot edit a build while in the game.
- Make sure you check the build descriptions. Despite having high favorite numbers, some builds might be outdated. You must also look through the items before the game starts to understand the build progression.
- Follow item progression as per build from top to bottom. This is because you must get some important early items to survive the lane. Also, keep an eye out for situational items, and if they are necessary in certain games to avoid extra expenditure.
