'''Apollo''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. With '''[[Apollo#Flawless Advance|Flawless Advance]]''' the fencer begins his approach, timing his strikes perfectly to inflict more damage. Counter-attacks aren't a concern for Apollo, as a flourish of his blade deflects the damage and triggers a quick [[Apollo#Riposte|'''Riposte''']], and '''[[Apollo#Disengaging Sigil|Disengaging Sigil]]''' allows him to jump out of the fray with ease. For his final blow, Apollo dons his fencer's mask and channels [[Ixia]]'s might with '''[[Apollo#Itani Lo Sahn|Itani Lo Sahn]]''', leaving enemies defeated in his wake.

As the prince of [[Ixia]], Apollo comes from a land of beauty, tradition and conflict. Political violence was common in Ixia, but when Apollo was sent to New York for his own safety, he knew the situation was serious. Now a highly skilled fencer at [[Blackmore Academy]], Apollo knows that in due time, he will be called back to Ixia... and when he returns, he will show why he's worthy to wield his family's ancestral blade.

Apollo was released on [[Update:February 12, 2026|February 12, 2026]] as the last hero of the [[Old Gods, New Blood]] update.

== Weapon ==
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_fencer}}Pride of Ixia has no damage falloff and deals no damage beyond its max range.

== Abilities ==

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name = Apollo
| ability_num = 1
|tips=* The height and lateral distance traveled are unaffected by the casting location of the sigil; Apollo will flip the same way regardless of whether the sigil is cast high or low.}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name = Apollo
| ability_num = 2
| notes =* Can target any enemy hero in range to dash to, regardless of damage source.

* Can be triggered by player-generated NPCs, such as [[Graves|Graves']] Jar of Dead Skulls and Ghouls, [[McGinnis|McGinnis']]'s Mini Turrets, and troopers empowered by [[Rem|Rem's]] Little Helpers.
** Cannot be triggered normally by NPCs not influenced by the player, including [[Denizen|Denizens]], [[Walker|Walkers]], [[Guardian|Guardians]], and [[Trooper|Troopers]] unaffected by Little Helpers.

}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name = Apollo
| ability_num = 3
| notes =
* In the initial cast phase of Flawless Advance, Apollo will perform a lunge in the direction he's [[Walking|moving]] towards. If Apollo has no movement input (using WASD or jumping), he will stand still in his current position. This move is not affected by inertia horizontally, but it is affected vertically: If Apollo casts while jumping or falling with no input he will lunge upwards/downwards.
}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name = Apollo
| ability_num = 4
| notes =
* On casting Itani Lo Sahn {{DataProp|Itani Lo Sahn|AbilityCastDelay}}s. must pass before Apollo can do the lunge.

| interactions =
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = debuff resist | state = disabled | text =
Despite being described as a "debuff", [[Time Slow]] on enemies cannot be shortened by items such as {{ItemIcon|Debuff Reducer}}.
}}
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = indomitable | state = disabled | text =
Despite triggering {{ItemIcon|Reactive Barrier}}, Itani Lo Sahn does not trigger {{ItemIcon|Indomitable}} at all. This might be a bug.

== Trivia ==
* [[File:Apollo meme.png|thumb|217x217px|Yoshi's Apollo meme]]Apollo's ultimate "Itani Lo Sahn" is [[Ixian]] for ''"I have no equal"''.<ref>2026-02-12 - [[Yoshi]]; Deadlock Discord - ''"[It] means 'I have no equal'"''</ref>
* Apollo was first teased in the [[Hideout]] with a [[wikipedia:Rapier|rapier]] over the item shop.
* A possible inspiration for Apollo is the hero concept [https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/hero-fencer-deadlocks-version-of-genji.60811/ Fencer] (Apollo's original codename) by player nathanieljbrill in the ''Deadlock'' forums. The Fencer concept used a sword as the primary weapon and had the abilities to slow enemies, deflect incoming attacks, and use a charged attack.
* "Striving Towards Perfection in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Apollo in the [[Hideout]].
* Apollo had a fourth wall-breaking line about being the last hero released in the [[Old Gods, New Blood]] update, saying that voters had "finally come to their senses".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Apollo|quotes=Apollo/Quotes#Situational|transcription=I see you voters have finally come to your senses.}}</ref> His release poster also referenced this, with Apollo holding a clock and the caption "About Time". He was also the first hero to have a specific line recorded for his release, as other heroes used one of their regular lines.
*On the day of Apollo's release, [[Yoshi]] shared an image of Apollo on the [https://discord.com/channels/1231286446472691825/1231613274643238923 Deadlock Discord] referencing the "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-studied-the-blade I studied the blade]" meme. It reads: ''"When you were voting [[Rem]], I studied The Blade. When you were voting [[Silver]] I mastered [[Mantle Slide]]. When you were voting [[Celeste]] I cultivated Inner Strength. And now that the world is on fire and the patrons are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for help?"''
