Deadlock Characters | New Heroes, Skills, Weapons, and StoryDeadlock, the highly anticipated MOBA shooter from Valve, continues to evolve! Launched mid-2024, it's consistently ranked among Steam's most wished-for games. The latest update (10-24-2024) is a major milestone, introducing six experimental heroes.

Six New Heroes Join the Deadlock Fray

This significant update adds Calico, Fathom (formerly known as Slork), Holliday (also referred to as Astro in-game), Magician, Viper, and Wrecker. Currently, these heroes are exclusive to the Hero Sandbox mode, awaiting their official release into casual and ranked PvP. While their complete skill sets are implemented, some abilities are temporary placeholders, mirroring existing hero skills (for example, Magician's ultimate is a copy of Paradox's Paradoxical Swap).

The table below offers a sneak peek at these characters' roles and playstyles:

Hero Description
Calico A nimble, stealthy mid-to-frontline hero, excelling at flanking attacks and evading capture.
Fathom A close-range burst assassin, ideal for swift takedowns of key enemy targets.
Holliday A mid-to-long-range DPS/Assassin specializing in precise headshots and explosive damage.
Magician A tactical, long-range DPS capable of projectile manipulation, teleportation, and position swapping with allies and enemies.
Viper A mid-to-long-range burst assassin who inflicts poison damage over time and can petrify groups of foes.
Wrecker A mid-to-close-range brawler who utilizes troopers and NPCs as both weapons and projectiles in their abilities.
