All Deadlock character abilities and ultimates

Your one-stop shop for every hero and ability in Deadlock.

Valve continues to build up Deadlock, with the SMITE-like MOBA FPS in players’ hands for an early developer build throughout mid-2024.

Recommended Videos

Twenty-one heroes are currently in Deadlock‘s alpha, up from the 19 leaked when the project was made public in May. Here’s a look at every hero, their abilities and ultimate, and a little about how leveling each ability works in Deadlock.

Contents

All Deadlock heroes and their abilities

Each Deadlock hero has three main abilities and an ultimate. These abilities can be leveled up by using Ability Points that are earned by collecting Souls or completing objectives while on the map. The first skill upgrade costs one Ability Point, the second costs two points, and the final upgrade costs five points.

These abilities can be further enhanced through items; weapons can have their ammo count increased, while some abilities can scale through Spirit Power.
