Iirc there's no built in lunge to mo's Combo but they're gonna build warp stone to have a lunge (item version)
ivory reef
yeah I played 1 celeste game and lost wildly hard
I dunno she's fine
she's a character
vapid ember
the really fun part of deadlock is that you can build characters in ways you want to (sometimes)
frail jasper
Very much spirit damage. Her air mobility IS pretty ridiculous though since it's not just 4 stamina but also reduced gravity and increased air control.
vapid ember
I prefer to play M&K as a movement speed focused ult a target and blow up character but there's a more tank or carry focused playstyle for him
frail jasper
Like a Holliday but all the time

do any of these characters conflict wifh my aim being kinda bad

graves literally has auto aim
gray otter
fuck yes....
bleak thicket
celestes projecticles auto aim on bounce, but they have travel time and are a bit weird
gray otter
that sounds awesome
vapid ember
fuck yes....
do you want a carry lifesteal tank that doesn't need M1 aim?
frail jasper
Graves has auto aim beam so that parts easy. Paige bullets are huge and pierce infinitely so it's more about just lining things up rather than being accurate
vapid ember
I looooove yamato
gray otter
i mostly want a character whose design i like
is mina particularly aim reliant? i like her goofy infinite bat scaling
twilit roost
Very
frail jasper
The bat scaling primarily comes from being aim reliant so yes

yeah I'm pretty sure in tf2 it's just for framerate
this is the sweatlord mge player look
vapid ember
I think the fullbright/"Config" look has its own charm to it in both games but maybe im crazy
quaint kernel
Tho my big critique of the style of the game is that it looks nothing like NY even in the era and the fact that they just say sections / street names for the lanes makes me laugh
vapid ember
it looks like hot ass but the flat textures make stuff pop
vivid nimbus

you ready for unusuals in deadlock to completely kill the artstyle of the game in 10 years?

ok i have to learn to aim
quick tips, heavy melee is really good, sliding is really good
autumn field
hehehehe
vapid ember
those 2 took me a few days to actually comprehend the importance of
autumn field
echo shard refresher on graves
merry verge
heavy melee is also really dangerous, parry gives you a long stun and a damage taken amplifier
merry verge
also if you buy Unstoppable you can just go swingin
gray otter
is slide just shift on the ground
vapid ember
is slide just shift on the ground
crouch after a roll, on a slope or after a airdash
autumn field
ok so immediate thought is celeste's ult goes pretty damn hard in street brawl
being able to pop a couple hundred damage consistently on like, everyone is an awful good tool
vapid ember
am I crazy for feeling completely useless in street brawls and feeling completely okay/good in normal games
feels like every street brawl game I play I get steam rolled/do no damage at all
autumn field
i feel the opposite
i do better in brawl than normal
its probably cuz brawl incentivizes a certain playstyle
like say, bebop
bebop's bomb has massive value cuz you can regularly hit 2-3 people with that bomb
its good in normal but damn his kit is super consistent in sb
vast sandal
okay it's really starting to feel like I die more often than my teammates and like I'm just always getting caught out of position because I can't retreat as fast as the rest of th team
gray otter
ok is there anything i should know about mina besides how love bites works
what ranges is she best at i guess
autumn field
i think you just want to proc is as much as you can
frail jasper
your 2 is your only escape tool by default. it's a STUPIDLY GOOD ONE but if it's on cooldown people are going to jump you and you're not getting away. Use it to GO UP TO ROOFTOPS if you can while escaping.
it's also i-frames so you can use it to dodge things like Knockdown or Seven's stun if you really need to
merry verge
Mina 2 distance also scales with spirit
You can really make some damn space lategame
frail jasper
your 1 gives life back if you kill with it, so what you do is get 2-4 troopers or neutral creeps to low health and press 1 to heal. it also does +% damage of target's missing HP so use it as an execute when fighting people
if you are in the air, hold RMB to zoom your gun and you get a little floating time with your umbrella (this is useful in several ways but not exactly critical to doing well with her)
autumn field
actual convo
gray otter
her ult seems like a great Killing You button

do not build gun/orange focus on her, the gun itself is pretty terrible so %damage increases are not worthwhile

oh right uh what DO i build
agile void
do not build gun/orange focus on her, the gun itself is pretty terrible so %dama...
the only gun items I imagine is either cult sac and maybe kdash
frail jasper
lotta spirit and green, because mina has the lowest base hp and scaling out of everyone
gray otter
and how do i make a custom build
agile void
no idea if burst fire is even good
frail jasper
kinetic dash is good, burst fire is not high on my priority for her
autumn field
i love whoever this rem was
gray otter
and how do i make a custom build
found it
frail jasper
here's a random good-looking build I found for what items to get
ideally you use all your stamina + stamina mastery + float to just never be on the ground
always being above people where they can't get you. if they buy Knockdown, that's why you have Dispel Magic
and your 2 if absolutely necessary, but you should shy away from any fight that isn't a no-brainer win if it's on cooldown
if they get slowing hex before you use 2 to escape, that's why you have dispel magic
gray otter
the only fights thatll be nobrainer wins for me will be figjts where i click on people with my infinite scaling ult and they die
i will be very careful abt 2 usage
the firerate and reload kinda seem like bait
frail jasper
Nah because you want your gun to be loaded so you can keep tagging targets with love bites
the GUN DAMAGE is bad but love bites is stupidly good, so you build spirit and a little ammo/fire rate
vivid nimbus
Now wondering if the play is actually Ethereal Shift
rich grove
eshift is way more useful against burst
if she just keeps chucking turrets down it's really hard to get that much value out of it since you're not doing anything either
vivid nimbus
Well I was thinking about the turrets + barrage
But barrage is longer than 5 secs and uggggh
Yeah IDK
rich grove
eshifting through barrage would be decent value if you can't find cover but at max spirit it just goes for ages
unfortunately sometimes you just need a team effort of chain curses or w/e to beat a super fed player
vivid nimbus
Yeah and she had magic carpet to get into "you're not finding much cover" spots
finite patrol
barrage is kinda countered by going next to her and getting her ass
but super fed mcginnis is really hard to shut down no matter what
rich grove
yeah you would like to run at her
but uhh
the one million turrets that do one million dps would have something to say
vivid nimbus
And also slow/scroll
rich grove
yup
autumn field
Ok yep my new build is certified OP
if i was more aggressive and went for kills more i think i couldve won even harder
hmmm, i think rad regen would pair best with the healbane + spirit/bullet lifesteal 4.8 green
i think w/ graves you always want to push w/ the waves because every trooper wave means 500 HP for you
vapid ember
I wonder how many people here come from other movement shooters (gunz, tf2, quake, tribes, paladins)

vapid ember
I wonder how many people here come from other movement shooters (gunz, tf2, quak...
ngl, deadlock does feel like a soft evolution of gunz's movement systems
autumn field
splitshot lets your bounce deal 5x damage
which means that if you had that
celeste would be able to build pure gun
and out DPS everyone while splitshot was active
which is so fucking weird
vivid nimbus
Is ricochet legal or banned?
lavish grove
Man, Deadlock’s setting feels like prime material to have a TTRPG made of it
frail jasper
Ricochet is legal.
finite patrol
ricochet is legal and its pretty nasty since the bounces can ricochet

finite patrol
if you can web cart bell 2 people and put another one away you basically just win
autumn field
hmmmm
now that i think about it
for my hybrid graves
i think splitshot + recharging rush + titanic are gonna be the early spike items
technically speaking it's monster + resto + titanic + split
and imo, on graves, you can ignore cult sac
finite grotto
Titanic over like Escalating Resilience?
That said I don't play graves so I dunno how much more max you need or want
autumn field
you can run esc resil
if you plan on intensifying + active reload
you dont really need it
im not sure how mercurial interacts with grave's 1
but you could run quicksilver -> merc there
finite patrol
mercurial does not seem good on graves
autumn field
it's pretty fire as a gun graves main
because my current main build is about 50/30/20 opg
i think it might work better on your 2
i really like echo shard on the 2
echo shard bebop is toxic as fuck
finite patrol
@rich grove business idea: doorman trolley problem
autumn field
also one of the big things about graves is she steals spirit resist
which means merc is particularly good for that usecase
im not sure on how reverb interacts with her 1
i do like surge of power on her 1
anyways i think graves is the worlds best hero and most buildable ever

Dunno what it is but man am I struggling to win lanes (and by some extension games in general) lately
Sometimes my teammate just ints, but even if that’s not a factor I feel like I’m usually the one getting hard shoved under guardian
vast sandal
there's a false sense of security you find yourself in when you're laning
if you're under half health, if your opponents coordinate and really go deep they can kill you unless you're really quick on the draw to get back behind the guardian
late hare
Mm, I’m more talking about, like
If I’m playing Viscous + Geist into Abrams + Doorman, that shouldn’t be a super imbalanced lane in terms of who’s strong when
AFAIK
but inevitably Geist and I wind up pushed back to turret even if we play fairly cautiously, and I don’t fully get why
frail jasper
Questions: do you buy monster rounds, and how much do you focus on killing troopers when they arrive
Abrams can be very hard to punish due to his regeneration, and doorman is honestly just a gigantic bastard if they're good with their call bells
Ensuring that you kill their troopers before they get yours helps reduce the amount of free space they have to play in
If the wave is shoved into their guardian they can't (as easily) afford to be doing the cheeky shit they want to be doing (Abrams in veil/cover, doorman tossing bells from the bridge)

Lightbringer has done some pretty good flexible builds for all the new heroes
toxic gulch
Ooo
vivid nimbus
They're not L->R compatible tho
lavish grove
Celeste kinda just seems like you’d go normal spirit burst, but also grab stamina mastery
vivid nimbus
L->R is when you buy all the non-optional items in a build in order from left to right
agile void
Don’t know what that means
buy left to right
agile void
or just leave the Quick buy deal with it
toxic gulch
I just didn’t know what that short hand was
vivid nimbus
You see it noted in some build annotations
toxic gulch
I tend to break down my left to right really quickly when it comes to situations where a specific item might be worthwhile
But yeah gotcha
agile void
I have gotten to the point that L R is something I just ignore
I fight abrams and Mo? first buy is freaking healbane
toxic gulch
I don’t ignore it but…sometimes I skip an item and go back
gray otter
god i hate this stupid "doubletap a message to use a reaction" thing on discord mobile
i need to turn it off
vivid nimbus
But Lightbringer style builds are like "here's some good lane options, here's some good midgame items for hitting each color spike, here's some good late options, here's some common situationals"
vivid nimbus
But the midgame categories will have like 6-8 items despite the fact you're only expected to buy 2
gray otter
itemization in this game is completely baffling to me

it feels more comprehensible to me than league did but
maybe league is just literally badly designed i have no idea

i guess league was easier for me bc every item looked distinct

I was overwhelmed by items too while starting, I mostly just followed L->R builds until I got a handle on things, ones that had annotations for counterpicking or why an item is essential were the most helpful

Venator drinks, smokes, has worldly possession, also kills people

certainly not any vows of sobriety
i suppose his vows may have to do with his life of fighting monsters

It seems like as apart of their mission as the sword of the Vatican they’re allowed to engage in sin

which, i suppose as a vow to god, is pretty impressive

As he himself says, he does not walk the righteous path
He allows others to walk it
toxic gulch
i just assumed he did confessionals every once in a while to y'know
be cleansed and all that
but yeah hes on a sinful path of violence in the name of killing murderous monsters

Seriously though I think it’s tremors or something

shit I’m sorry, I didn’t know

I have shaky hands and all that
I can’t aim any small hit boxes, basically
Doorman’s bell is fine
Cart is a little tricky

Hmm, could maybe try Paige?
Her gun is really unimportant to her kit and her projectiles are quite large

doorman's bullets are hugh mungus as well

Also chat, something really cute I realized
Dynamo’s body was destroyed 50 years ago during the first astral gate event
But he’s celebrating his 31st anniversary during the game

doorman you kinda do gotta be able to aim a bit though since his gun is extremely good and allows him to contribute a lot

So his wife must’ve met him when he was just a big metal ball and still fell in love with him

He's a very sweet big metal ball

doorman bullets go CLUNK

give doorman back headshot damage, it was very fun for everyone to lane against

Also heroes like pocket maybe that have shotguns that are more forgiving and then you go Unga Bunga ult explosion and ability dmg

its still fun for people to lane against

somehow everyone still seems to think without the bells he's defenseless
don't peek against doorman, his One Big Dumb Bullet is five of yours

Try Mo and Krill, they have a full auto shotgun and most of their damage comes from their skills
finite patrol
if you hit 2 headshots in a row its 117 damage at level one and its Not Hard
(assuming you bought headshot booster immediately after 1st wave)
I like going headshot booster long range on him
final osprey
Mo and Krill is zero aim. The purpose of your gun is to apply Spirit res down, maybe.
merry verge
I tend not to go gunny but an early Headshot is usually worth-feeling
also just now realizing how silly the Long Range icon is

its a reference to one of the og films

Questions: do you buy monster rounds, and how much do you focus on killing troop...
yes to monster rounds and I try to kill creeps before fighting, yeah
finite patrol
your poke opportunity should be pretty good to opt for over pushing the lane
late hare
I do kinda feel like I end up killing most of the creeps as opposed to it being a shared lane duty, but I don’t wanna write this off as a “teammates bad” thing because I’m sure I have room to improve
finite patrol
although trading while there's just the heal trooper left in the enemy wave is of course great

come lane with me dork

Monster Rounds are great for farming

Perhaps later tonight actually
merry verge
Monster Rounds are also great when I once again forget Early Minions Hurt Real Bad
toxic gulch
Tbh maybe I should add monster rounds to my build for early or mid game when I want to do my farming shit
And sell it after once it’s not longer valuable
finite patrol
monster rounds should be in most heroes "early situational" category

Early Guardian shreds health

Yeah but I’m a drifter main, I love farming and I love stealing enemy farm

Anything that speeds things up in the slower early game is welcome
