Deadlock: Lady Geist Build Guide

Deadlock: Lady Geist Build Guide

In the story known as “Deadlock,” the character Lady Geist was once deeply involved in high society circles. However, when age eventually overtook her, she struck a bargain with a demon to maintain eternal youth. The stipulation being that she must siphon vitality from other beings and nourish the demon to preserve her own youthfulness. As the demon’s power and appetite increased daily, Lady Geist is now seeking a means to break free from this agreement. Finding aid from the Patrons seems like an ideal solution for her predicament

Two primary approaches exist when constructing Lady Geist: Weapon-centric or Spirit-focused. The former emphasizes the use of her pistol, precise headshots, and exceptional accuracy to outmaneuver opponents. With this setup, your abilities work to hinder enemies and alleviate some aiming pressure. On the other hand, the Spirit-focused build prioritizes spirit damage and various methods to intensify the potency of her first skill. In this configuration, her pistol serves mainly for secondary, occasional damage

This tutorial will cover both builds, however, it will primarily delve deeper into the Essence Bomb setup due to its strength and suitability for newcomers who want to grasp the fundamentals of the game more effectively

Deadlock Lady Geist Overview

Deadlock: Lady Geist Build Guide

Pros Cons
+ Low cooldowns – No mobility skill
+ High damage – Abilities cost health
+ Flexible build options to get around enemy resistances – Fragile early game
+ Can be surprisingly tanky in the end game – Aim and movement are extremely important for this character
+ Perfect for destroying objectives and split pushing
+ Amazing 1v1 Duelist
+ Sticking enemies with the equivalent of a Halo plasma grenade is deeply satisfying

Character Lady Geist is a hero with a focus on health points (HP) for her spellcasting. In the game, this means her abilities have a minor HP cost, but they deal significant damage and have short cooldown periods. If her HP drops too much, she can employ Life Drain to siphon health from an opposing enemy. Essence Bomb is a potent skill that can sweep across a wide area, swiftly eliminating waves and jungle camps while dealing substantial burst damage to foes. To enhance her damage output even more, she can utilize Malice, which slows down and amplifies the damage inflicted on any target it strikes, including objectives. This ability is what makes Lady Geist exceptional at both demolishing objectives and excelling in one-on-one duels

Her special ability, Soul Exchange, significantly boosts her 1v1 capabilities compared to other heroes. This skill enables her to trade health with her opponents, and at T3, it grants her a faster firing rate and protective spirit armor. However, its range is quite short, so mastering movement in Deadlock will transform Soul Exchange into a potent offensive weapon. If you don’t have a good grasp of movement mechanics, Soul Exchange can serve as a defensive tool if you’re ambushed by an opponent or if you’re losing a fight

In the beginning of the game, both builds aim to enhance the Essence Bomb ability first. This skill offers tremendous wave-clearing and harassment potential during the early laning phases. To maximize its power, you should allocate at least 3 Ability Power points to upgrade Essence Bomb to Tier 2 for additional damage. After reaching that level, the two builds will then follow separate paths

Based on the type of opponents you’re facing, your decision on which skill to enhance next may differ. If you’re dealing with enemies who frequently rush at you or have high durability like Mo & Krill, Yamato, Bebop, or Dynamo, it would be wise to prioritize Soul Exchange T2 over Life Drain T2 first. Subsequently, if the team you’re fighting heavily relies on ability power, you should consider enhancing Soul Exchange to T3.

If you encounter heroes who prefer to keep their distance, such as Vindicta, Ivy, Haze, and Grey Talon, it would be more beneficial for you to enhance your Life Drain ability up to Tier 2 (T2) and Tier 3 (T3). Subsequently, aim to improve Soul Exchange up to Tier 2 (T2) and Tier 3 (T3)

Initially, Essence Bomb combined with Mystic Burst can be used for farming waves, and though you might manage some accidental damage against the opposing hero, Booster for Headshots and High-Velocity Mag will empower your pistol to farm and put pressure on your rival. It’s crucial to practice good ammo conservation here because running out of ammo prematurely could result in missed opportunities for denials and confirmations

How To Play Lady Geist

Essence Bomb Build

Use this farm and saving ammoistopponential damage damage. Utilize ammo conservation until save for confirms for confir for confiry conforms or denials or blockers denials

Should you find it difficult to hit the mark with the Essence Bomb, remember that it typically lands slightly higher than your cursor indicates, so adjust your aim to be lower than expected for more accurate results

Furthermore, after reaching T3 Essence Explosive, focus on clearing neutral objectives like neutral camps, push waves, as they’9e, when you find and start clearing neutral camps, shove Intensity Bomb, pushing waves of the extra DoTal effect damage over time bomb (the bomb toward any location where enemy minions minions are concentrated enemy minions are gathered upkeep reading this waypoints where the enemy minions are concentrated. You should be able to clear it in a single casted up in just a single cast Essence enemies in a single cast Essence, you can kill it with a single cast of T3 Essence Bomb casting of Essence Bomb cast of Essence Bomb cast of Essence Bomb cast of Essence Bomb cast. Aimnto

When you’ve pushed up to a Guardian or another objective, hit the objective with Malice as often as possible. Each Malice cast adds a 15% damage increase from all sources against that target. T3 Malice is also amazing for team fights since the 9 blood shards will cover a wide area and are capable of tagging multiple enemies, and the 15% damage increase can very easily swing a fight in your favor. Just be careful not to get caught out on your own too often during this time since you don’t have too many movement skills, so 1v2 situations can be a little hard to navigate.

In a team skirmish, toss the Essence Bomb into the densest cluster of adversaries first, swiftly followed by the Malice. This will maximize the 15% enhanced damage period and grant your Essence Bomb the advantage of that boost. If an opponent tries to take you on for an easy victory, make them wish they hadn’t by quickly swapping your health bars before they manage to defeat you. Ideally, a teammate will join the fray during this time, helping you dispatch the injured enemy and then both of you can target anyone else nearby

As a fan of the game, I’d suggest adopting a stealthy assassin-like approach during team clashes, particularly towards the end of the match. Leveraging Warpstone or smart movement/positioning, seek out the enemy team’s vulnerable heroes, immobilize them with Life Drain, and follow up with precision attacks until they’re knocked out and respawn. In case I find myself in a precarious situation where death is imminent, I’d quickly locate the closest, healthiest enemy to perform a Soul Exchange, swapping our life totals and giving me an opportunity to keep the fight going. Here, mastering movement skills is crucial for escaping dangerous situations and getting close enough to enemies to utilize Soul Exchange or maintain pursuit when they panic under Life Drain and exhaust their stamina in an effort to flee
