Holliday is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a sheriff, relying on her aim with her trusty heirloom revolver and a litany of abilities to take down her enemies. With a Crackshot of her pistol, she can slow and damage her foes from a distance before launching an explosive Powder Keg with her Bounce Pad or a melee attack. To isolate her foes, she can wrangle them with her Lasso and drag them into the attacks of her allies.

Simple plan: I grab 'em, you shoot 'em.

Once a sheriff content with the small-town life, this would all change when a travelling musician known simply as "The Troubadour" began a gruesome killing spree; but when she tracked down and confronted him, he managed to flee. Intending to track him down, Holliday spent six months investigating and deduced that the killer's next target was New York. She's going to kill that evil son of a bitch.

Holliday was added to Hero Labs on October 24, 2024, and released officially on January 17, 2025.

Abilities

Powder Keg

Throw a barrel that explodes after a delay, dealing spirit damage, setting enemies on fire and applying

knockup.

The barrel can be detonated early by being shot, melee'd, or detonated by another barrel.

The burn stacks, so overlapping barrels burn for their combined damage.
Can be Alt-Cast to place the barrel infront of Holliday.

Before the barrel is armed (fuse lights up) it cannot be detonated and phases through enemies.
Hitting the barrel with a melee attack makes it jump in the air in an arc and explode on contact. The arc is based on the player's vertical aim.
The barrel hitting a bounce pad has the same effect as being melee'd.

Bounce Pad

Drop a bounce pad in the world that launches any hero.

You explode on landing, dealing Damage to any nearby enemies.

The explosion can only occur once per person per Bounce Pad.

Disabled by Slowing Hex

Allies receive both the additional air control and stomp damage from this ability. Additionally, the ally stomp damage is affected by the spirit items that Holliday has.
Jumping or Dashing just before being launched by Bounce Pad will reduce the bounce height, helping you avoid excessive airtime and a slow landing.

Crackshot

Headshots deal bonus Damage and applies a Fading Move Speed penalty. This effect can only occur when off cooldown.

Cooldown is reduced by 50% on NPC hits.
Crackshot ignores range damage fall-off and does not apply to objectives.

Backstory

See Holliday/Lore for more story content.

“

There are people who spent their whole lives dreaming about moving to New York. Holliday isn't one of those people. Content with being a Sheriff in a small town, Holliday enjoyed a career where the only time she had to use her gun was when trick shooting at the county fair...then the murders started.

Grisly and inhumane; the bodies were found with their ribcages ripped open... their innards picked apart as if by birds. Holliday tracked down the killer, a travelling folk musician that the media dubbed "The Troubadour", but when she confronted him he exploded into a murder of crows and flew away.

That was 6 months ago, and while the murders in central Illinois have stopped, Holliday's investigation has not. She believes that The Troubadour is travelling to New York, and when she finds him she's going to kill that evil son of a bitch.
