== Overview ==
The overall objective of ''Deadlock'' is to destroy the enemy team's [[Patron]]. This is done over the course of the game, where two teams battle across three lanes, navigating the map using [[Portal:Movement|movement]] tools such as fans, [[Ropes|ropes]], and [[Ziplines]]. Each lane contains a [[Guardian|Guardians]] and a [[Walker|Walkers]] that a team will need to destroy to progress to and destroy the [[Patron]].

=== Stats ===
{{Main|Stats}}
Stats are the attributes that define a hero's strengths and weaknesses, and can be improved by [[Boon|leveling up]] and using [[abilities]] and [[items]].
See [[Hero Comparison Table]] for a list of every hero's base stats and scaling.

* [[Melee Attack#Parry|Parries]] (Default key: <code>F</code>) are a defensive move that is available to every Hero, in which they can block a melee hit from an enemy. On a successful parry, the enemy is stunned and takes 20% more damage from all sources for 2.75s. The parry goes on cooldown once it's used, but is instantly refunded on a successful parry. Troopers and Guardians can also be parried.

The parry goes on cooldown once it's used, but is instantly refunded on a successful parry against another Hero or a Guardian. Troopers can also be parried, but doing so does not refund the cooldown.

{{Main|Souls}}
When a team is behind on [[Souls]], there are some mechanics that come into play to allow the losing team to catch up.  
When a team is behind on [[Souls]], there are some mechanics that come into play to allow the losing team to catch up.  
* Killing an enemy Hero will award more Souls if the player's team is behind.
 
* Killing an enemy Hero that has a Kill Streak will reward a "Bounty" of extra Souls.
* Killing an enemy hero will award more souls if that hero is stronger than the killer team's average networth, regardless of which team is leading in souls.
* The losing team gains up to 30% more souls from troopers, neutrals, vaults, and objectives, based on how behind they are (peaks at 20% max net worth difference). The first 3k in net worth difference is ignored.
* The losing team gains up to {{#expr:({{DataProp|Convar|citadel_player_gold_comeback_npc_max_mutliplier_value}}-1)*100}}% more souls from Troopers, neutrals, Sinner's Sacrifices and Objectives, based on how behind they are (peaks at 20% max net worth difference). The first 3k in net worth difference is ignored.
* The [[Soul Urn]] drop-off location is located in the side lanes if teams are even, but located on the losing team's side if they have significantly less total souls (10% or more difference).
* The Soul Urn will give additional souls to a team that is behind.
 
=== Pausing ===
Each player may pause the game once per match. Pausing is disabled for the first 2 minutes of a match. Each team is limited to three pauses per match, meaning that after three different players on the same team have used their pause, that team can no longer pause the game. This allows for a maximum of six pauses per match.
 
When a pause is called, all in-game action stops. The game timer, player movement, abilities, projectiles, and all other gameplay elements are frozen until game resumes.
 
The player who called the pause may end it at any time. Otherwise, the pause becomes available for anyone to end after 30 seconds. There is no maximum pause duration.
 
Players are able to move their camera while the game is paused. Any camera movement made during the pause is not retained and will reset to its original position when the game resumes.
 
Pausing is not allowed in [[Street Brawl]].
 
=== Pre-Game phase ===
The pre-game phase lasts 30 seconds, during which players can ask to switch lanes with their team by clicking the colored button under another player's portrait in the top bar. In [[Ranked mode]], players may also switch to a different unlocked hero, provided it has not already been selected by any player on either team. In [[Street Brawl]], players have to pick their items and assign [[Ability Points]] during this phase.

When the Mid-Boss dies, it drops the [[Rejuvenator]]. The Rejuvenator must be claimed by landing heavy melee attacks on it, it requires 3 hits to fully collect. Each successful hit immediately grants every member of your team a '''Rejuvenation Credit'''.
If a hero dies while holding a Rejuvenation Credit, they will respawn at their death location and the credit is consumed. The credit does not affect deaths that happened before it was earned.
