What are the best combos in Deadlock?

Classic pairings include Dynamo's Singularity followed by Seven's Storm Cloud or Infernus's Concussive Combustion, Rem's Naptime followed by burst damage, and Bebop or Lash pulling a target into a team that's ready to burst it.

What is a balanced team in Deadlock?

A tank or frontliner, an initiator, a support, and two or three damage dealers mixing gun and spirit damage. Mixing damage types matters because it stops the enemy just stacking one kind of resist.

Deadlock Hero Synergies and Team Comps

Deadlock heroes are strong alone, but much stronger together. Here are the combos that work best, built from how each hero’s abilities actually interact.

Ultimate combos (team-fight winners)

Setup	Follow-up	Why it works
Dynamo: Singularity pulls and stuns a group	Seven: Storm Cloud	Enemies are stuck in one spot while the storm hits them
Dynamo: Singularity	Infernus: Concussive Combustion	Infernus’s 3.25s fuse goes off while the group is still stuck together
Rem: Naptime puts a team to sleep	Any big burst (Lady Geist, Pocket)	Line up your burst on sleeping targets
Billy: Chain Gang pulls everyone to him	Abrams: Seismic Impact or Seven: Storm Cloud	The pull drags enemies straight into area damage
Lash: Death Slam	Bebop: Hyper Beam	Slammed enemies land stunned in one spot, easy to beam
Ivy: Air Drop carries an ally	A brawler like Abrams or Shiv	Drops a tank into the enemy backline with a barrier and slow
Vyper: Petrifying Bola (T3)	Area damage timed for when the petrify ends	Petrify blocks damage, so burst right as it ends

Resist shred (make your carries hit harder)

These abilities strip enemy resistances, so pair them with heroes who deal that damage type:

Shred	Damage type	Pair with
Rat King: Rat Swarm (bullet resist per bite)	Gun	Haze, Vyper, Wraith
Dynamo: Kinetic Pulse T2 (−15% bullet resist)	Gun	Gun carries
Vindicta: Crow Familiar (bullet and spirit resist)	Both	Anyone
Paige: Captivating Read T3 (−18% spirit resist)	Spirit	Seven, Grey Talon, Celeste
Seven: Power Surge T3 (−15% spirit resist)	Spirit	Other spirit casters
Lady Geist: Malice (damage amp)	All	Anyone focusing the same target
Paradox: Pulse Grenade (damage amp)	All	Burst teams

Carry and support pairs

Support	Best with	Why
Paige: Plot Armor	Gun carries	+25% weapon damage and a barrier while it holds
Ivy: Kudzu Connection	Gun carries	Shared fire rate, lifesteal and healing
Viscous: The Cube	Fragile carries	Makes them invulnerable when focused
Rem: Tag Along	Divers	Heals while he rides along untargetable
Kelvin: Ice Path	Melee heroes	Gets brawlers into range fast

The five team comp archetypes

1. Dive

Fast heroes jump onto the enemy backline. Example: Lash, Yamato, Calico, plus Rem or Ivy to keep divers alive. Beats: immobile teams. Loses to: heavy crowd control and peel.

2. Front-to-back

A strong frontline protects carries who scale. Example: Mo & Krill or Abrams up front, Haze or Vyper behind, Paige or Kelvin supporting. Beats: poke teams. Loses to: dive that gets past the frontline.

3. Poke and siege

Long-range damage chips enemies down before fights start. Example: Grey Talon, Vindicta, Celeste, McGinnis. Beats: slow teams at objectives. Loses to: fast engages.

4. Pick-off

Catch one enemy, kill them, then take an objective 6v5. Example: Bebop, Paradox, Drifter, Wraith. Beats: teams that spread out. Loses to: teams that stay grouped.

5. Wombo combo

Stack ultimates that chain together. Example: Dynamo + Seven + Infernus. Beats: grouped teams. Loses to: teams that spread out or interrupt channels.

Building a balanced six

One tank or frontliner to absorb damage.
One initiator to start fights.
One support to keep the team alive.
Two or three damage dealers, mixing gun and spirit so the enemy can’t stack just one resist type.
Some crowd control spread across the team.
