Deadlock: Best Wraith Build Guide
Wraith is a pure DPS hero in Valve’s new MOBA, Deadlock. With her ability to chase down enemies and melt them with her classic Tommy Gun, Wraith thrives in combat. However, she is highly dependent on the right items, so building her in the right way is crucial. This guide will cover the best Wraith build in Deadlock.
Wraith Skill Progression
All heroes in Deadlock have four abilities, including an ultimate. Here is the complete list of Wraith’s skills:
- Card Trick: Deal weapon damage to summon cards. Activate to throw a card that flies toward the enemy or point under your crosshair.
- Project Mind: Teleport to the target location.
- Full Auto: Temporarily boosts your fire rate by 20%. Nearby allies receive half the bonus.
- Telekinesis: Lift an enemy hero into the air, stunning them for a short time. When the lift ends, the target receives Telekinesis damage.
Wraith’s Card Trick and Project Mind are her most important skills, so make sure to prioritize upgrading these first. They significantly enhance her ability to chase and deal consistent damage, making her more effective in combat.
