Melts isolated targets

Excelling at one-on-one combat, Wraith isolates targets, eliminating them with ruthless efficiency. Then teleporting away before anyone can retaliate.

Wraith is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a fast-talking and fast-firing combatant with potent offensive abilities and mobility. She can activate her Full Auto to boost her own and allies' fire rate, flinging homing Card Tricks at her targets and Projecting her Mind to teleport either into or out of dangerous fights. Singling out a foe with her Telekinesis to stun and damage them, Wraith can decide who on the enemy team should die first.

Employing her charisma and strength to run a gambling network, Wraith is a widely-known feature of the criminal underworld of New York City.

Card Generation[edit | edit source]

For Wraith's Card Trick ability, cards are generated by dealing weapon damage, instead of recharging over time. The amount of charge gained is dependent on the attack landing on enemies, but the amount of damage dealt does not affect the amount of charge gained. Cooldown reduction increases the percentage generated proportionally (EX: 10% Cooldown Reduction = 10% increase to charge gain percentage)

NOTE: Wraith's card generation rate starts at 106% ^[1]

Card-generating Actions
Action	Card Percentage Generated
Bodyshot	4%
Headshot	6%
Light melee	10%
Heavy melee	25%

Hitting non-player units multiplies the percentage generated by 0.35.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Wraith's hands are always inside her pockets, as her two magic arms perform actions for her.
- Wraith's current character model doesn't actually have hands. However, there is a work-in-progress Wraith model in the files that has fully modeled arms and hands, as well as new animations performed with both her real arms and magic arms.
Wraith is currently the only hero whose Sprint Speed is directly affected by Spirit Power.
Wraith has had 4 iterations of different designs and voice actors since her creation.^[13] One of her earlier designs was a magician. That model was reused for the Metal Skin poster and for Sinclair's character model.
Wraith's weapon was originally called Houdini's Shackles.
Wraith's ammo clip size is 52 as a reference to the number of cards in a poker deck. Her original clip size was 50. It was changed based on a player's suggestion in the official Deadlock Discord.^[14]
