Start with beginner guides for the basic match, movement and souls. Hero guides focus on individual game plans; role guides organize decisions by the job a player takes on a team.

For purchases, use item and build guides to understand item effects and build guides to adapt a sequence. Map and objective guides explain decisions around lanes and shared objectives. More experienced readers can explore advanced gameplay, statistics and analytics, and patch review.

Before using a guide

Deadlock is in active development. Check the date and current in-game descriptions when a guide depends on a particular version. Use an explanation as a way to make a decision, then compare it with the situation in your own match.
