Ultimate Guide to the Deadlock Vindicta Build

Creating the Deadlock Vindicta Build can be a challenging process. As the only sniper hero in the game, she has the potential to deal substantial damage, yet remains one of the least favored characters within the player community. By thoroughly understanding her abilities and equipment, you can effectively control a lane solo and withstand multiple adversaries until assistance arrives.

With that in mind, here is a comprehensive guide to crafting the ultimate Deadlock Vindicta Build.

How to Play Vindicta in Deadlock? All Abilities Explained

Not much is known about Vindicta’s origins, except that she has been battling against “The Friends Of Humanity”for an extended period. This inquisition, formed by the descendants of John Hathorne, aims to protect supernatural beings. Vindicta herself is a survivor of The Super Witch Trials.

Here are Vindicta’s abilities:

Stake: Launch a stake that tethers enemies to where it lands, restricting their movement length to the tether. (Cooldown: 40 seconds)
Flight: Soar into the air, enabling your weapon to inflict bonus spirit damage while airborne. (Cooldown: 40 seconds)
Crow Familiar: Your crow familiar inflicts impact damage and applies a bleed that inflicts damage based on the target’s current health. (Cooldown: 25 seconds)
Assassinate: Use your scoped rifle to unleash a powerful long-range shot. You deal partial damage until fully charged after a second of being scoped, with bonus damage against enemies at less than 50% health. (Cooldown: 50 seconds)
