The Best Carry Characters To Play In Deadlock

There are plenty of characters to check out and play as you get into Deadlock. Whether this is your first MOBA title or one of many that you’ve gotten your hands on, there are guaranteed to be a few characters that mesh with your mindset and playstyle when you get into the game. There are a variety of roles in the game, with the Carry role in Deadlock rewarding a slow start with massive endgame potential. Here are some of the best carry characters you can choose when you start getting into Deadlock.

Victor

This character is one of the most unique characters in the game, along with Lady Geist. Victor’s health is a resource that you’re going to regularly use throughout the match, but early on, you’re going to be somewhat stalled on that growth in his health pool in order to be able to actively use it for a fight. In early gameplay, you’ll want to be very cautious, gradually increasing the aggression in his playstyle with the biggest swings coming in the mid- to late-game phases. He has very little range to his abilities aside from his weapon, so you need to plan to rush into fights headfirst in order to make the most of his kit. You’ll want to snag a few items to heal from using his abilities, but his growth comes full swing very quickly as the later portions of a match begin to approach. If you want to become a raid boss, you’ll most likely enjoy playing as Victor.

Lady Geist

You can’t talk about Victor without bringing up Lady Geist; both feature a similar gimmick but play it very differently. Where Victor uses his health to damage enemies in an aura surrounding him, Lady Geist uses her health to throw grenades and blood shards to harm her foes. She can sap enemy health, heal teammates, and even swap health with enemies when her ultimate is unlocked. Where Victor needs to get in close to use his abilities, Lady Geist can attack at a longer range and still deal some massive damage when properly tuned. She isn’t the weakest character in the early game, but far from the strongest, since her limited health at the start can hamper what abilities you get to use right away. As she is built up, she can become incredibly tanky and more aggressive in each stage of the game, allowing you to turn the tide of a battle almost instantly.

Silver

Silver can be considered a tank as well as a carry; she has a slower early game when items are a finite resource. However, once midgame rolls around, she can be an incredible character who can turn the tide of many team fights. With a variety of builds you can use that are centered around several playstyles, you’ll want to constantly be engaging with your enemies when you’ve unlocked her Werewolf form. She isn’t a standard carry character by any means, as she will become strong quickly with just some standard items. By the end of the match, she will become incredibly powerful and can decimate your foes.

Warden

In terms of how powerful a character is, Warden can be hit or miss, depending on a ton of factors. He is somewhat powerful in the starting phases, but gets noticeably weaker as everyone else gains more tools to fight back against him. By default, Warden can be quite slow, and this goes double when he is using his ultimate ability. You’ll need a nice build that will allow him to have high health, good gun damage, and high spirit damage output so that his ultimate can cause as much mayhem as possible. He’s always been one of the top carry characters who can double as a tank when built correctly.

Seven

Seven is another top-tier carry character that scales well with levels throughout the match, while also having a very all-around great kit to deal damage to your enemies. Out of all of the characters listed, Seven is the one that requires you to farm mobs and spawns throughout the map to begin building his kit. He uses a ball of lightning for area denial when someone tries to hide behind cover, stuns enemies, buffs his own weapon, and creates a massive AoE with his ultimate ability. He is a fantastic choice all around and can be built to be a gun carry or spirit carry character. If any character can be considered an all-rounder, it would be Seven. The match will usually start strong with him, but as it continues, you’ll need to work a bit harder to scale up and continue to do as much damage as possible to the enemy team with him.

Not every character is going to have the same overall set of rules you’ll need to follow, and enemy team compositions may not allow for the desired route you need to take. Many carry characters are going to force players out of their comfort zones if the playstyle isn’t what they’re used to. If you’re looking to get started, you’ll need to apply consistent pressure on your enemies in the early portion of the match, while also backing off often to farm for more levels and items to keep the pressure on in the later portions of the match. Some characters, like Silver, can get away with constant fights to gain more of the items they need.
