'''Boons''' in ''[[Deadlock]]'' indicate the player's power level over the course of the match. Players gain boons by gathering {{Souls}} [[Souls]], which unlocks [[Ability Points]] and increases their [[Weapon Damage]], [[Melee Damage]], [[Health]] and [[Spirit Power]]. The soul count is always visible to all players under their portrait, and the boon level can be seen in the soul container icon next to the player's soul count, and over the player's portrait by pressing Tab. The soul container fills up as the player collects souls, indicating how close they are to the next boon.

The maximum Boon level is '''{{#invoke:SoulUnlock|get_max|PowerIncrease}}'''.

== Leveling Up ==
'''Leveling up''' in ''Deadlock'' is based on a hero's total gathered souls and grants [[File:Boon_icon.png|24px]] '''Boons''', [[File:Ability_unlock_icon.png|24px]] '''[[Ability]] Unlocks''' and [[File:Ability point unlock icon.png|24px]] '''[[Ability Points]]'''. The first three ability unlocks can only be used on non-ultimate abilities. The ultimate can be unlocked at {{Souls|3.8k}}.

If the player gathers enough [[Unsecured Souls]] to level up but then loses those souls, they will remain at their last unlocked level but lose progress towards the next level equivalent to the dropped souls.

After the maximum level, players still gain "levels" in the HUD for every {{Souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_player_gold_per_level_postmax}}}} souls, but don't receive any additional boons.

=== Reward breakdown ===
All heroes level up at the same souls-gathered thresholds, in the following pattern:
* Every level-up grants a boon.
* Levels 0, 2, 4 and 7 grant an ability unlock. Every other level grants an ability point (up to {{#invoke:SoulUnlock|get_max|AbilityPoints}}).

The following table details the rewards given at each threshold. Every player starts the game with {{souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_player_starting_gold|value}}}} at level 0.

<!--See [[Module:SoulUnlock]]'s write_table function-->
{{#invoke:SoulUnlock|write_table}}

== Ability Points ==
[[Ability Point|Ability points]] are obtained as level up rewards. Each ability has 3 tiers, requiring 1, 2, and then 5 ability points to unlock. It is possible to spend ability points in any order, including saving them to spend on an ultimate ability or for the final level of an ability.

== Boon Rewards ==

[[File:Power_increase.png|234x234px|thumb|Haze's boon profile. (Image for reference only, numbers may be outdated)]]
'''Boon Rewards''' serve to increase the base attributes of the hero. Level ups always grant a Boon Reward.

The base attributes that are improved by Boons are: base [[Bullet Damage|bullet damage]], base [[Melee Damage|melee damage]], [[Spirit Power|spirit power]], and base [[health]]. Each hero gains unique amounts of base stats from their Boons. The differences in these boon profiles can dictate which heroes are more powerful in the early stages of a game and which heroes become powerful in the late game. Some heroes may have additional stats improved by Boons, such as {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}'s [[bullet resist]].

== Boon Scaling ==
Some [[Abilities]] and [[Items]] have boon scaling properties, indicated by a green arrow and the hero's icon. Boon scaling properties increase based on the player's boon level.
