'''Mina''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''; a glass cannon that delivers quick bursts of [[Spirit damage]] at range with her passive, Love Bites. She can transform into bats and escape when things get a bit too messy. Each time she trigger Love Bites, her vampiric powers grow stronger for the rest of the match. This builds toward her ultimate, Nox Nostra, which unleashes a massive swarm of bats that hunt down and silence nearby enemies.

Mina Ha was an ambitious and rich girl betrothed to American royalty, the [[Pocket|eldest heir]] to the [[Fairfax Industries]] fortune. However, her hopes were dashed when her fiancé was [[Calico|assassinated]] prior to the wedding. Her parents, seeking only the best for their daughter, contracted a vampire to turn Mina into a vampire and grant her eternal life. Now learning her new powers and navigating vampire high society, Mina's ambitious eye is set on becoming the next Viscount of New York. 

Mina was released on [[Update:August 18, 2025|August 18, 2025]] as the first hero in the Six Heroes update.

== Trivia ==
* Mina is named after the literary character [[wikipedia:Mina_Harker|Mina Harker]], from Bram Stoker's ''Dracula''.
* Mina's ultimate Nox Nostra means "Our Night" in latin.
* Mina is the second hero to use "vampire" as a codename (VampireBat), as there is another hero referenced in the localization files as "hero_vampire", but it has been removed from the game.
* Mina was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidently leaked on stream in May 2025.<ref>2025-05-01 - atahutahatena on Reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumors - [https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1kclj5p/streamer_accidentally_leaks_hero_roster_of_a_more/ Streamer accidentally leaks hero roster of a more "secret" private Deadlock pre-alpha playtest build]</ref> Mina's model was leaked by an anonymous source along with a WIP version of the shop UI, ahead of the [[Update:May_8,_2025|Shop Rework]] update.
* Mina's pistol New Money seems to have the words "Nuit Rouge 7" inscribed on the side in-game, not seen in the weapon art. This is French for Red Night.
