=== Uptime ===

Uptime relates to farm camps (either Troops or Neutrals), to advancing lanes, to harassing enemies, to taking down towers etc. Everything that doesn't make you idle and generate value could be considered uptime;

=== Positioning ===

* Creating space ~~will define which areas are controlled by~~ your team, ~~which Neutral camps are~~ safe to ~~farm,~~ the ~~length of your zipline,~~ the ~~vision~~ you ~~have on your mini-map etc~~.

Managing your positioning will allow you to control more space on the map, be effective in teamfights, deny enemy pushes, and utilize your hero's abilities most effectively. Controlling more area of the map increases the viable farming area for both Denizens and enemy Troopers for your team. Positioning in teamfights or in smaller skirmishes is critical, staying safe but active in the fight will allow you to apply pressure to the enemy while removing the opportunity for them to gain an advantage by killing you.

* During the Laning phase, this is considered crucial, since positioning will define how far your Troops advance and it will impact ultimately on your last hits/denies and kill oppu

=== Aiming ===

Some heroes require more accuracy and skill expression regarding aiming - such as Vindicta -, but overall aiming is a crucial part of ''[[Deadlock]]''.

* The process of killing enemy [[trooper]]s and '''denying''' the enemy from getting {{souls| }}[[Souls]] from their Trooper kills.

* Can also be referred to as Creep Management.

'''Creep/~~troop~~ denial''' is a crucial part of the game's laning phase and involves shooting the Souls of one's own trooper when they are killed. This prevents enemy laners from obtaining Soul orbs by killing troopers.

'''Creep/Troop denial''' is a crucial part of the game's laning phase and involves shooting the Souls of one's own trooper when they are killed. This prevents enemy laners from obtaining Soul orbs by killing troopers. Denying souls is still effective after the laning phase, as souls increase in value as the game continues. Denying souls after the lane phase grants all souls to the denier, which can be an effective way to gain more individually gain more souls if you are farming for an important item.

Pushing up lanes by killing enemy Troopers spreads your team's area of control and removes farmable space from the enemy. If your team is able to control more of the map by pushing up troopers, friendly ziplines will extend and allow trooper reinforcements to help push [[Guardian|Guardians]] and [[Walker|Walkers]], further pressing your advantage.
