Earning more souls than your opponent makes you and your team stronger and more likely to win. During the laning phase generating a soul lead over your opponent causes you to get your ultimate before your enemies which can then be used to snowball your advantage.

==== Box Running ====
Box running refers to moving around the map in certain routes to collect souls and buffs from [[Breakables]] and [[Golden Statues]]. Pushing the wave into the enemies' tower can give you time to box run and get back to lane without missing out on collecting souls from troopers.

==== Jungling ====
"Jungling" or "farming" refers to clearing [[Denizen]] camps to earn more money. Unlike other MOBAs, ''Deadlock'' doesn't have a dedicated Jungler role, but some heroes can clear camps faster than others.
Clearing a trooper wave is generally faster and rewards more souls than a Denizen camp, so it's recommended to clear camps in between trooper waves. The camp respawn timer only starts once all of its Denizens are dead, so players should always clear the entire camp when possible to avoid stalling respawns ([[Sinner's Sacrifice|Sinner's Sacrifices]] must be cleared as well). Or alternatively, players can leave one or more Denizens alive in camps in enemy territory to stall its respawn.
When jungling, players need to be careful to avoid roaming assassin heroes who might steal their unsecured souls.
