'''Street Brawl''' is a fast-paced, 4v4, combat-focused game mode in ''[[Deadlock]]'', offering a short game format designed for quick sessions. Street Brawl removes the standard [[Souls|soul]] economy entirely, placing players in a best-of-five series of skirmishes with the ability to obtain a fixed amount of items each round.


Unlike the standard mode, Street Brawl removes the laning and farming phases entirely, placing players in a best-of-five series of skirmishes with randomized, escalating item builds in a single lane.
Before each round, players will be presented with three sets of three items to choose from. Players can choose to reroll one set of items each round. Players who queued for Street Brawl with the random hero option will be given an additional reroll for the first three rounds. Street Brawl has exclusive legendary [[items]] not available in standard matches. Additionally, both normal and legendary items can appear as "enhanced" versions, with improved numerical stats. If a player is presented with an item that normally upgrades from an item they have already chosen, they will be given another item of a lower tier as a bonus.  


Street Brawl has exclusive legendary [[items]] not available in standard matches, as well as enhanced versions of normal items. Legendary items also have a rare chance to be enhanced.
Having access to the same number of items reduces the likelihood of one particular player snowballing ahead of others, and players do not need to make decisions about what objectives to focus on. Each round, all abilities start ready to use, except for ultimate abilities, which start on a heavily reduced cooldown.


Street Brawl matches do not affect the player's matchmaking rating in standard mode.<ref>2026-01-22 - ''@messonizz'' and [[Yoshi]]; Deadlock Discord - @messonizz: ''"Does Street Brawl effect your rank?"'' Yoshi: ''"No it doesn't"''</ref>

[[Trooper|Troopers]] spawn faster (every '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|TrooperSpawnTimer|1}}s''' in early rounds, '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|TrooperSpawnTimer|3}}s''' in later rounds) and spawn '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|TrooperSpawnBeforeRoundStartTimer}} seconds''' before the round officially begins. They have starting [[Spirit Resist]] and increased Spirit Resist during overtime, and deal more damage to structures.


{{ItemIcon|Nullification Burst|icon-only=true}}

If a round exceeds the standard time limit, it enters Overtime.

----{{ItemIcon|Frostbite Charm|icon-only=true}}


{{ItemIcon|Mystic Conduit|icon-only=true}}
There is no item limit. If a player gets more than 12 items, the lower tier items are no longer visible in the UI, but their effects are still active.


{{ItemIcon|Mystical Piano|icon-only=true}}
== Item Draft ==
See "Item Draft" in individual [[Hero]] pages to see the chance of getting certain items for each hero.


{{ItemIcon|Omnicharge Signet|icon-only=true}}
While all heroes have a random chance to get any item, some items are weighted to be more likely to drop for specific heroes, and some counter items are more likely to drop when playing ''against'' specific heroes. Using a reroll will drop items of similar tier and rarity as the items in the current roll. Choosing the random hero option in character select allows the player to have an extra item reroll in the first 3 rounds. Item drops are mirrored between teams: if a player on one team is offered a rare, enhanced, or legendary item drop, a player on the enemy team will be offered an equivalent item drop.


{{ItemIcon|Prism Blast|icon-only=true}}
=== Draft Tier Progression ===
Each round, players are presented with 3 sets of items to choose from. The available tiers scale up as the match progresses to ensure players get access to stronger items later in the game:
* '''Round 1:''' Tiers 1, 2, and 3
* '''Round 2:''' Tiers 2 and 3
* '''Round 3:''' Tiers 2, 3, and 4
* '''Round 4:''' Tiers 3 and 4
* '''Round 5:''' Tier 4 (with a chance for Tier 5 Legendary)

Since [[Trooper|Troopers]] don't drop [[Souls]] in Street Brawl, players are less encouraged to hit them. However, pushing waves is still valuable to gain heal from Banner Troopers and pressure the enemy's objectives.
