Lash Skill Progression

Deadlock Lash Ability Order
All of Lash’s skills are to annoy enemies.

All heroes in Deadlock have four abilities, including an ultimate. Here is the complete list of Lash’s skills:

  • Ground Strike: Lash slams the ground in front of you in a cone shape, dealing damage to enemies in range. If Lash is airborne, he can use the Ground Strike ability to land quickly in an area and deal enhanced damage to enemies caught in the action. 
  • Grapple: He hurls himself up in the sky toward a target and gets one stamina charge in addition to restoring his dashes and normal air jumps.
  • Flog: He whips the enemies in front of him to steal a portion of their health.
  • Death Slam (ultimate): He attaches his whip to enemies in his line of sight. After being connected, Lash can lift and slam them on the ground to deal damage. If there are more enemies in the area of impact, they will be damaged and slowed.
