DEADLORE
Deadlock items guide: Weapon, Vitality and Spirit branches, tiers, flex slots, active items and a beginner buy order.
All Deadlock items fall into three categories. Weapon — gun damage, fire rate, ammo. Vitality — health, bullet and spirit resistance, sustain. Spirit — ability power and cooldowns.
Each hero has four slots per category, so you cannot buy everything — a build is always a trade-off for the match and role. Live prices and stats for every item are in our item database.
Items are grouped into cost tiers, from cheap starters to expensive late-game purchases. Higher-tier items grant a passive category bonus: any high-tier weapon item increases gun damage by itself.
Many items have active effects — shields, sprints, silences. Their power is in the timing: a well-timed active wins fights.
Start with 500-soul items matching your lane plan: damage for aggression, sustain for trading.
By mid game, complete one or two tier-3 items for your role — they give the biggest power spike.
Do not reinvent the wheel: grab your hero's stat build from the builds section and adapt it during the match — for example, add anti-heal against healing comps.
