Haze is a lone wolf and she thrives when she is in stealth mode, able to take enemies by surprise and defend her territory. Enemies can be dealt three seconds of unconsciousness through Sleep Daggers and this period especially helps in critical moments of focusing on crucial enemies. She possesses the skill to ambush enemies, break up their lines, retreat through the increased sprint speed acquired through her Smoke Bomb, or simply become cloaked. She is indisputably deadly. Once in the hands of experienced players, her ultimate ability, unleashing a hail of shots at breakneck speed with near-perfect accuracy, transforms her into one of the most dangerous in the player roster.

Ivy — The Versatile Powerhouse

The Stone Form ability provides good damage over a large radius and is able to cover areas effectively. The ultimate skill lets Ivy soar above the battlefield and rain death on a large area. With great stamina, Ivy is able to outplay enemies and assist teammates when required.

Warden is a true frontline with abilities focusing on damage with impressive survivability. Willpower gives him a shield and faster movement which lets him be more active on the map. His Flask makes enemies weaker which makes it easy to beat them in fights. Binding Word makes enemies exposed and is highly favorable to use alongside his other abilities. Warden’s ultimate The Last Stand damages all nearby enemies and allows him to heal, making him a powerful presence on the battlefield.

The round begins with Bebop attempting to dominate the lanes, beginning with his Hooks, which immediately brings anybody who comes too close to the danger zone. This is quickly followed up by him launching enemies up in the air with his Sticky Bomb and Uppercut combo, rendering them helpless. Constant emphasis on lane control due to the Hyper Beam allows enemy plans to be dismantled. It is his control due to the lead he creates in game which is why players looking to dominate early would want to choose him.

Lady Geist — The Duelist Extraordinaire

Lady Geist is an apt choice for players who are adept at single handedly defeating enemies and excels at such battles. Her Life Drain attaches onto the foe, drawing in their health while providing her with sustenance during battle which when upgraded and used correctly can become a deadly weapon. The Essence Bomb also sacrifices some of her own health in exchange for dealing high amounts of damage to her opponents. In her ultimate, she exchanges health with the enemy player, which during crucial moments can turn the tide of the match. Beating your enemies with Lady Geist is a game of tolerance and timing, rather different from other heroes, but once you master this character, you will have no equal in dueling.

McGinnis — The Utility Master

It's easy to underestimate McGinnis, and at face value, she doesn't seem too formidable. However, as a solo player, her design is quite valuable. Her Turrt can do damage to Troopers and enemy players, more so if she has put in Extra Charge and Rapid Charge for multiple charges. Speaking of which, her Wall ability does a great job of restraining one's enemies and controlling the battlefield. McGinnis is especially good at dealing damage to the enemy's objectives as well as to its players with a bit of skill and practice. Overall, she is a good fit for this particular tactical role.

Seven — The Ultimate Damage Dealer

The reason Seven is one of the most popular characters in Deadlock is because of how easy it is for new users to be effective. Seven can deal massive area damage with both of his Lightning Bolt and Power Surge abilities which is essential when attempting to deal with Troopers and concentrated enemies. He gets even stronger as the match proceeds by compounded souls. However, using storm cloud becomes increasingly effective when itching Unstoppable active as well as making sure he avoids many debuffs. As of now Seven is a perfect selection for the players who want to dominate their games and not worry about being carried by others.

Conclusion

With adequate selection of heroes like Haze, Ivy, Warden, Bebop, Lady Geist, McGinnis, and Seven will allow the player be able to take control of the game.
