All 39 heroes in Deadlock

Abrams

Apollo

Apollo is a Bruiser/Assassin who specializes in high mobility, precision timing, and devastating spirit burst damage. He is best compared to Yamato—both are spirit-scaling bruisers who dash in, deal burst damage, and sustain through fights. His spirit scalings are among the highest in the game (Flawless Advance reaches 2.55x spirit per perfect hit with T1 healing before T3's improved damage scaling, and Itani Lo Sahn delayed damage scales at 2.6x spirit, up to 5.2x against low-health targets with T3), his vitality stats are competitive with conventional bruisers, and he has the second-highest move speed in the game (7.2 m/s). His sword fires red air-slash projectiles that work with weapon/bullet items, but spirit investment provides dramatically more damage per soul.

Graves

Graves is a close-range rush-down summoner who pressures enemies through relentless aggression, not passive zoning.

Rem

Rem is a Support hero - a spirit-focused enabler who attaches to allies to heal, buff, and protect them while disrupting enemies with crowd control.
