'''Lady Geist''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. A [[wikipedia:Socialite|socialite]] with a necromantic pact, Lady Geist consumes her own health for her abilities while draining the life away from opponents. Sacrificing her life force to launch [[Essence Bomb|'''Essence Bombs''']] and blood shards filled with '''[[Malice]]''', Lady Geist can regain lost health with '''[[Life Drain]]''', sapping enemy heroes and [[Unit|units]] of their health. Her '''[[Soul Exchange]]''' swaps health values with an enemy hero, turning the odds against them for a killing blow.

The Toast of the Town, Lady Jeanne Geist was famed by all and invited to every ball and gala in the city... until her beauty faded in her old age and left her with only memories and stories of her glory. In desperation, she formed a pact with a powerful spirit and bound it by powerful wards until she was safe and young again. All she needs to do now is feed on the life force of her fellows to maintain her beauty... and hope desperately that the [[Oathkeeper]] will stay bound.

'''Lady Geist''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. An old-time socialite with a necromantic pact, Lady Geist is a terrifying foe that consumes her own health for her abilities while draining the life away from enemies. Sacrificing her life force to launch Essence Bombs and  blood shards of Malice, Lady Geist can make up the lost health with a Life Drain tether to a nearby opponent. After being brought low by her own abilities or enemy attacks, she can conduct a Soul Exchange and swap health with her opponent, making them vulnerable to followup attacks from her revolver.

* Soul Exchange  deals [[Pure Damage]], and thus does not proc items such as {{AbilityIcon|Mystic Reverb}}, and is not affected by [[Healing|anti-healing]] or [[Damage Resistance]].
* Soul Exchange has a {{DataProp|Soul Exchange|AbilityCastDelay}}s cast time before swapping and can be stopped by some items and abilities, such as a well timed {{AbilityIcon|Counterspell}}.
* Has a hidden {{DataProp|Soul Exchange|EnemySlowPct}}% slow that gets applied to the target upon cast and lasts for {{DataProp|Soul Exchange|AbilityDuration}}s.
* Unlocking T3 upgrade will change the damage value of Lady Geist's other abilities, as if the bonus Spirit Power on cast is always active. This is a bug, the actual damage is unchanged.
* Soul Exchange's mechanics work as follows:
** Once Soul Exchange is successfully cast, the target loses 0.3 of their current HP%. This new HP% (Enemy HP% * 0.7) is then compared with Geist's current HP%.
*** If (Enemy HP% * 0.7) > (Geist HP%), the health percentages between Geist and the target enemy are directly swapped.
*** If (Enemy HP% * 0.7) < (Geist HP%), then 30% of the enemy's ''current'' remaining health is removed. Then, Geist receives health equal to the enemy's ''max'' health lost.
**** I.e.: Lady Geist and her target are both at 80% HP, and she casts Soul Exchange. The target loses 30% of their current health bar (80% --> 56% HP, 24% max HP lost). Lady Geist receives 24% of her max HP (80%+24%), leaving her at 100% health.
** If the enemy would lose enough health to go below 30% of their max HP, it is instead set to 30%.
*** If the enemy was already at less than 30% of their max HP, they don't lose any HP, but Geist receives the health that the enemy would have normally lost.

== Update history ==
Jeanne "Oma" Geist (married name) was born in France, in 1815. She married German artist<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=newscaster_headline_69.mp3|transcription=The Museum of Modern Art recently announced a special gallery showcasing the work of late German artist Johann Geist.}}</ref> [[Johann Geist]]. Jeanne and Johann had a son named [[Minor characters#Walter Geist|Walter]] in 1850, and Johann died in 1880.
{{Update history}}


== 3D model ==
[[Storyline|Circa 1899]], when Jeanne was around 84 years old, the first [[Maelstrom]] happened, bringing various supernatural forces to Earth, and the spirit [[Oathkeeper]] was one of them. Jeanne made a pact with Oathkeeper to regain her youth in exchange for draining the life of others. She was initially reluctant, but accepted the deal. However, with the help of Walter, she made a ward to keep Oathkeeper under control.

Walter had a son whom he named after his father, [[Minor characters#Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann "Jr."]] Johann Jr. became a doctor, and after Walter died, he did the maintenance of his grandmother's ward. Jeanne and Walter had "a terrible sense of humor", according to Johann Jr.
