==Overview==
==Overview==
Each hero wields their own unique weapon, which is their main way of dealing damage. Most weapons have a zoom in functionality, while others have alt-fires.  
Heroes come in a wide variety in Deadlock, each with their own specialisations and playstyles. Each hero wields their own unique primary weapon which has its own name, stats and weapon type. Weapons are affected by [[Weapon]] Class [[Items]] and are the primary means of dealing damage for most heroes. Some weapons possess an alternate fire mode activated with RMB.
Most heroes have four activated abilities which are bound to 1, 2, 3, and 4 by default while some exceptions remain, such as Infernus' third ability being a passive applying a permanent bonus effect when leveled. Abilities are capable of dealing damage, healing, or providing utility to yourself or your team such as CC. (Crowd Control/stuns)


Besides their weapons, heroes also possess 4 unique abilities with a variety of effects. Some abilities are completely passive, and will always be active regardless (such as {{HeroIcon|Abrams}}' {{AbilityIcon|Infernal Resilience}}), though most are simply activated with their respective bindings (1-4 by default). Abilities come with up to 3 upgrades, which can be purchased with an increasing number of [[Ability Points]]. Abilities most often scale with [[Spirit Power]].


Heroes have set base stats that they can improve through [[Level|leveling up]] or purchasing [[items]]. They also have additional [[Level#Power Increases|Power Increases]], gained at specific levels which grant bonuses to specific stats. Heroes can hold up to 16 individual items at a time, so long as they conform to their categories and [[Flex|Flex Slots.]] Some hero stats are also affected by [[Spirit Power]], referred to as Spirit Scaling.




'''{{Heroes count|Released}}''' heroes are available in the current alpha build, with additional characters confirmed for future releases. For a comparison between existing heroes, see [[Hero Comparison]].


Heroes have health, usually referred to as "HP" or "hit points," which represent the amount of damage a hero must take before being killed.
The most recently released hero is '''{{HeroIcon|Mirage}}''', introduced in the [[Update:September 26, 2024|'''September 26 2024 Update''']].
The amount of hit points each hero has is based on level, upgrades, and each hero's set amount of scaling.
