Deadlock Apollo Build

467752

• Headshot Booster has zero fall-off with Apollo's gun, making it excellent for early harassment.
• Healing Rite is our recovery item of choice.
• Begin scaling Apollo's damage with items such as Mystic Burst, Extra Spirit, and Cold Front.
• Reactive Barrier is the preferred utility item, as Apollo is very susceptible to crowd control. However, Healbane or Enduring Speed are strong alternatives. Buy Healbane if early healing reduction is needed, or Enduring Speed if the enemy team has many slows, such as Slowing Hex or Slowing Bullets.

• Torment Pulse and Tankbuster significantly boost Apollo’s damage.
• Focus Lens has great synergy, as Apollo benefits heavily from an early silence in addition to another damage increase.
• Dispel Magic is a safe option to deal with Slowing Hex, Silence Wave, and targeted stuns such as Graves' Grasping Hands or Seven's Static Charge.
• Alternatively, Warp Stone is excellent for additional aerial mobility, and Counterspell is a strong option for extra protection against high-impact abilities like Lash's Death Slam.

• Witchmail is a fantastic defensive option and helps reduce Apollo's cooldowns even further.
• Imbue Mystic Reverb on Flawless Advance to benefit greatly from Spirit Lifesteal and apply an additional slow.
• For even more survivability, pick up Ethereal Shift. If you want extra damage instead, consider Arctic Blast or Lightning Scroll.
