Hero

Heroes are the playable characters of Deadlock. There are currently 21 heroes available with more to be released as the game develops.

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. 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)

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 amount of hit points each hero has is based on level, upgrades, and each hero's set amount of scaling.

21 characters are available in the current alpha build and confirmed additions to the roster include Calico and Holliday in future updates.

Hero Roster

Hero		Description
	Abrams	Charges into close combat Abrams has the bulk and sustain to lead from the front, often running into the middle of his foes and watching them scatter. If his enemies waste their fire on him, his back-line teammates can lay out damage with impunity.
	Bebop	Hooks an enemy for a knockout combo Bebop can string together his abilities in many different ways. Disrupting enemy positions, saving an ally or dealing bursts of damage. When the situation doesn't require subtlety his giant laser still solves problems.
	Dynamo	Locks down the enemy team Dynamo keeps himself and his allies healthy while waiting for his moment. Few things can warp a team fight more than a well-coordinated use of Singularity.
	Grey Talon	Delivers long range skill-shots A cunning predator, Grey Talon uses a combination of deadly accuracy, traps, and clever positioning to bring down the toughest of opponents.
	Haze	Sneaks in and sprays bullets When Haze fixates on a target she can hold her own in a firefight. She prefers to create one sided exchanges, avoiding damage then picking off unsuspecting targets up close.
	Infernus	Lights up enemies and watches them burn Infernus has many ways to deal damage over time, burning foes before swooping in for the kill. Due to Infernus’s blazing speed, his enemies won’t be able to escape the flames
	Ivy	Sets up a power duo with a lucky ally Ivy has disruptive combat tricks that slow and stun enemies. She’s most effective when linking up with an ally, empowering her and her ally’s guns as well as sharing heals.
	Kelvin	Freezes enemies in their tracks Timely heals and splitting a teamfight properly is the difference between an easy victory or a ruinous defeat. Gliding around slowing enemies gives Kelvin’s team the maneuvering advantage to make this happen.
	Lady Geist	Sacrifices health then drains it back Expending health to achieve devastating effects is the source of Lady Geist’s power. When running low, she can drain the life out of her rivals.
	Lash	Dives down to stomp his foes Lash gives his enemies little room to breathe, either by flying in from long distances to initiate combat with unsuspecting enemies, or pursuing said enemies when they try to run.

	Pocket	Infiltrates and disrupts the backline With a powerful shotgun and a thin frame, Pocket relies on their ability to briefly escape into a mystic suitcase and teleport via a flying cloak in order to survive close encounters.
	Seven	Electrocutes crowds of enemies Seven thrives in a skirmish waiting for the time to strike. Then he rolls into the fight like a storm and batters his enemies with a cascade of lightning.
	Shiv	Bleeds out enemies, then goes in for a kill Shiv has zero interest in playing fair, which is why he relies on hit and run tactics to weaken enemies before he dives in for the kill.

	Yamato	Delivers charged attacks with finesse Yamato uses precise strikes to decimate her rivals. However, such damaging attacks often will leave her exposed, so she needs to make every shot count.
