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.
Deal weapon damage to summon cards of a random suit. Each card can be thrown, dealing damage and applying a different effect depending of its suit. Cards thrown fly towards the enemy or point under your crosshair.

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)
NOTE: Wraith's card generation rate starts at 85% [2]

The cornerstone of the New York gambling scene, Wraith's organization is about as open a secret as it comes. However, thanks to a non-trivial amount of bribes, shakedowns, and blackmail, Wraith knows that she's above the law.
Lore
Wraith describes herself as a "degenerate gambler",[3] "a female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry" and "Florence Nightingale with a gun".[4] She often offers to make bets with her teammates.[5]
Wraith hosts weekly underground poker games.[5][6][7]
Wraith employs Ivy's sister, Sophia Arroyo, to work for her as an accountant.[4][11] Wraith makes Sophia work long shifts, which makes Sophia tired and affects her academic studies.[12]
Wraith and Infernus have worked together in the past.[13] Wraith believes Infernus' work as a bartender is "boring". She believes Infernus misses her, but he denies it.[14]
Infernus tells Mo & Krill that he wants to stay away from Wraith.[15]
Mo & Krill owe money to Wraith.[16] If they're on the same team, Wraith may say she called a favor to have them fighting on her side. They regard each other as friends.[5][17]
Ivy is distrustful of Wraith. She warns her not to approach Spanish Harlem now that the Mendoza Syndicate has been defeated.[5]
Ivy doesn't know that her sister Sophia works for Wraith.[4][11]
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.[21] 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.[22]
Removed Patron voice lines indicate that Wraith's previous background involved a search for her father, who had suffered a mysterious fate.[23][24]
"Gambling in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Wraith in the Hideout.
