Using this guide

The hardest part of any MOBA like Deadlock is learning all the new heroes and their abilities. And while the game does have video guides in the main menu, that's not too helpful when you're instead in-game actually playing the hero for the first time.

Instead, keep this guide open (perhaps using the Steam in-game overlay or on a second monitor) to quickly reference this 'cheat sheet' of all 88 heroes abilities whilst playing Deadlock.

[goblinsanity_]

those emojis and the char names are fire lwk

[UmamiSoy (mel)]

interesting choice of number and emoji combo to make the guide stand out...

[SirHazza]

@jackie added this to Ivy, thank you.

@bobsson good idea, if I have some time I might try and look into adding all the upgrades.

@ripecinderblock229 wait, so you don't buy your food shop with steam points?

[moistchalkeater2294]

Do you need steam points to feed your family

[bobsson]

This would be even more useful if it also listed the upgrades available for each ability. Doesn't need graphics for them, just having the list would be very useful.

[maddie]

You should mention that when ivy turns to stone, she heals herself.

[[S.A.S]sephchan]

[SirHazza]

@dechoji, Yamato becomes invincible for a brief time after casting Shadow Transformation. However you can still take their health down to 1%. But... they're also more powerful during this period. So sometimes running is best, but not always, it depends.

[turbo teros turu]

that yamato ulti is become invis
so its better run when yamato ult?

[Plastiiic]

cant believe this isnt in the game already thank you so much
