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 the ability to aim down sights, save for a few weapons with alternate fires that have differing results. Besides their weapons, heroes also have access to 4 powerful Abilities, each with their own effects. Most of these abilities must be activated manually, though there are some constantly active abilities known as passive abilities, such as Infernus' Infernus Afterburn. Abilities also have their own individual levels, which can be increased up to three times, granting them a new effect per level and increasing their stats. Most abilities are effected by Spirit Power.

Heroes have set base stats that they can improve through leveling up or purchasing items. They also have additional Power Increases, gained at certain 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 Slots.

21 Heroes are available in the current alpha build, with additional characters confirmed for future releases.
