'''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.

* 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 are somewhat unintuitive, but can be understood by following these steps:
* Soul Exchange's mechanics work as follows:
** (1) Geist successfully casts soul exchange on an enemy
** 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%.
** (2) Compare the value of (ENEMYHP% * 0.7) vs (GEISTHP%)
*** If (Enemy HP% * 0.7) > (Geist HP%), the health percentages between Geist and the target enemy are directly swapped.
*** [A] If (ENEMYHP% * 0.7) > (GEISTHP%), then directly swap health percentages between Geist and target enemy. This is the most frequent case.
*** 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.
*** [B] If (ENEMYHP% * 0.7) < (GEISTHP%), then  
**** 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.
**** Remove 30% of the enemy's current remaining health
** If the enemy would lose enough health to go below 30% of their max HP, it is instead set to 30%.
**** Whatever percent of the enemy's max health was just lost, give Geist health equal to that percent of her max health
*** 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.
**** Example: 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)
***** Because the target lost 24% of their max hp health bar, Lady Geist receives 24% of her max hp health bar (80%+24%), leaving her at 100% health.
** (3) If removing health from the enemy would ever result in them being lowered BELOW 30% of their max hp, instead set their health to 30% of their max hp
*** If the enemy was already less than 30% of their max hp, do not change their hp at all, but still give Geist as much health as she would have received normally
