'''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 fire rate, perform Card Tricks by sending them at her targets and Project Mind to teleport either into or out of dangerous fights. Singling out a foe with her Telekinesis and throwing them into any direction, 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 Trick has an 11% (1/9) chance to generate Jokers, increased to 20% (1/5) chance at T3.
}}

=== Card Generation ===
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)

== Trivia ==
* 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.<ref>2024-09-13 - [[Kaori]]; Deadlock Discord - ''"for instance, there have been not one, not two, not three, but 4 iterations of wraith in terms of theming and actor"''</ref> 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 weapon is based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun Thompson submachine gun] (AKA "Tommy Gun"), notable for its usage by organized crime syndicates in the early 20th century.
* Wraith's [[Ammo|ammo clip size]] is 52 as a reference to the number of cards in a [[wikipedia:Standard_52-card_deck|poker deck]]. Her original clip size was 50. It was changed based on a player's suggestion in the official Deadlock Discord.<ref>2024-07-04 - [[:File:Wraith clip size change.png|Screenshot]] by [[Yoshi]] in respose to a message from user "diet pepsi"; Deadlock Discord</ref>
* Removed [[Patron]] voice lines indicate that Wraith's previous background involved a search for her father, who had suffered a mysterious fate.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Sapphire Flame|file=Patron female ally wraith start 02.mp3|transcription=I can help you find your father. Summon me.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Sapphire Flame|file=Patron female ally wraith start 04.mp3|transcription=You've donned your father's chains, Wraith. I hope it works out better for you than it did for him.}}</ref>
* "Gambling in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Wraith in the [[Hideout]].
* Wraith's title uses the [https://www.myfonts.com/pt/collections/storica-font-arkitype Storica] font.
