Wraith is one of the best gankers and split-pushers inDeadlock, and it’s all thanks to her kit that lets her quickly take opponents out and disappear before things get too hairy. She’s a fairly simple hero to play as, but to get the most out of her, players will want to use the best items available.
The following is a fairly standard Wraith build guide that focuses on improving her 1v1 potential againstDeadlock’sother heroeswhile also letting her scale well into the late game as a Gun-based hypercarry.
Best Wraith Items In Deadlock
Wraithrelies on both Gun and Spirit damagein order to deal the most DPS possible. However, her kit mostly skews towards the former. As such, this build aims to take advantage of both damage types by making use of Spirit items early on and transitioning into a Gun-heavy build for the mid-late game.
Spirit
TakeBasic Magazine firstto help you poke and last hit minions. Players should almost always focus onfarming Souls inDeadlock—unless you’re getting bullied in lane, try to buy an offensive item first. Otherwise,get Extra Regen or Healing Ritefor extra lane sustain.
Extra Charge, Mystic Burst, and Infuser are here to help you bully your lane opponent away and possibly secure some kills. Buy these after Basic Magazine, or get Mystic Burst first if you want to go all-in on aggression. Once you get two or three stacks of Card Trick, pop Infuser, and throw all your cards at the enemy to blow them up.
These are theitems players should aim toget as soon as possiblewhen playing Wraith. These allow for significantly improved damage output, better AOE damage via Tesla Bullets, and instant reloads thanks to Quicksilver Reload.
Combining the rate of fire buffs fromBurst Fire, Combat Barrier, and Wraith’s Full Auto skillmaximizes the amount of bullets players can pump into an enemy while they’re suspended by Wraith’s Ultimate, Telekinesis. This makes hersimilar toDeadlock’sHaze, who capitalizes on her fast-firing weapons to secure kills.
Purchase priority is top to bottom, but if you feel like you need the extra survivability, feel free to buy Vitality items first. Sell the laning items one by one as you get enough Souls to get your Core items.
Players can keep Mystic Burst and Infuser as slot fillers until they can get better Spirit items. Additionally, if you’re struggling with Souls, postpone Lucky Shot for Intensifying Magazine.
Situational Items and Flex Slots
The items you buy for your vacant and Flex slots alldepend on how well the game is going. Here are some recommended flex items for Wraith and the situations players should buy them in:
Wraith Skill Priorities
For this build, putone point into Card Trick firstto get three cards during the laning phase with Extra Charge. Then,upgrade Full Auto twiceso it gets a shorter cooldown and a bonus effect that makes it deal Spirit damage. Then, put one point into Telekinesis to reduce its cooldown.
Afterward, max Project Mind first so you canalways have an exit strategyfor when things get dicey. Its second upgrade also gives you a Bullet Shield, which you can take advantage of when fighting otherDeadlockheroes using max Weapon Damage builds.
