==Overview==
==Overview==
Each hero wields their own unique weapon, which is their main way of dealing damage. Most weapons have a zoom in functionality, while others have alt-fires.  
Heroes come in a wide variety in Deadlock, each with their own specialisations and playstyles. Each hero wields their own unique primary weapon which has its own name, stats and weapon type. Weapons are affected by [[Weapon]] Class [[Items]] and are the primary means of dealing damage for most heroes. Some weapons possess an alternate fire mode activated with <code>RMB</code>.
Most heroes have four activated abilities which are bound to 1, 2, 3, and 4 by default while some exceptions remain, such as Infernus' third ability being a passive applying a permanent bonus effect when leveled. Abilities are capable of dealing damage, healing, or providing utility to yourself or your team such as CC. (Crowd Control/stuns)


Besides their weapons, heroes also possess 4 unique abilities with a variety of effects. Some abilities are completely passive, and will always be active regardless (such as {{HeroIcon|Abrams}}' {{AbilityIcon|Infernal Resilience}}), though most are simply activated with their respective bindings (<code>1</code>, <code>2</code>, <code>3</code>, <code>4</code> by default). Abilities come with up to 3 upgrades, which can be purchased with an increasing number of [[Ability Points]]. Abilities most often scale with [[Spirit Power]].


Heroes have set base stats that they can improve through [[Level|leveling up]] or purchasing [[items]]. They also have additional [[Level#Power Increases|Power Increases]], gained at specific levels which grant bonuses to specific stats. Heroes can hold up to 9 individual items at a time. This can be increased to 12 items if [[Extra Slots]] are unlocked. Some hero stats are also affected by [[Spirit Power]], referred to as Spirit Scaling.


'''{{Heroes count|Released}}''' heroes are currently available, with additional characters confirmed for future releases.

Overview

Heroes come in a wide variety in Deadlock, each with their own specialisations and playstyles. Each hero wields their own unique primary weapon which has its own name, stats and weapon type. Weapons are affected by Weapon Class Items and are the primary means of dealing damage for most heroes. Some weapons possess an alternate fire mode activated with RMB.

Besides their weapons, heroes also possess 4 unique abilities with a variety of effects. Some abilities are completely passive, and will always be active regardless (such as Abrams' Infernal Resilience), though most are simply activated with their respective bindings (1, 2, 3, 4 by default). Abilities come with up to 3 upgrades, which can be purchased with an increasing number of Ability Points. Abilities most often scale with Spirit Power.

Heroes have set base stats that they can improve through leveling up or purchasing items. They also have additional Power Increases, gained at specific levels which grant bonuses to specific stats. Heroes can hold up to 9 individual items at a time. This can be increased to 12 items if Extra Slots are unlocked. Some hero stats are also affected by Spirit Power, referred to as Spirit Scaling.

38 heroes are currently available, with additional characters confirmed for future releases.
