DeadlockDeadlock Dynamo Guide and Overview

Dynamo is one of the Supports of Deadlock, but just like in DOTA, Supports can carry! 

He can make huge plays on offense or defense, aids his team with heals and buffs, and is just a solid part of any team comp.

Strengths

• His ultimate, Singularity, offers one of the easiest engages in the game.

• Can AoE heal himself and allies while moving.

• Quantum Entanglement offers a ton of unique versatility to his team.

Weaknesses

• Has one of the weaker early games in terms of kill potential due to having two non-damage abilities before ult.

• Singularity can get canceled by CC abilities and Items like Curse or Knockdown.

• Lacks burst mobility as Quantum Entanglement is slow and telegraphed.

Underlined = Scales with Spirit

Kinetic Pulse (1)
Release an energy pulse that knocks enemies up into the air.
1 Charge	5s between charges	26s CD
100 Damage	15m Stomp Range	5m Ability Width

Maxing Kinetic Pulse adds a firing/movement speed debuff to enemies and increases Dynamo’s damage output to enemies hit.

Tips for Kinetic Pulse

• This ability is your bread-and-butter that you’ll use the most. Get super familiar with its properties like how far it goes, how high enemies get knocked up, and so on.

Quantum Entanglement (2)
Dynamo briefly disappears into the void and then reappears a short distance away. On reappearing, your weapon is reloaded and has a fire rate bonus for the next clip. Can be cast with [M3] to also bring nearby allies and give them half fire rate bonus.
9m Range	9m Ally Distance	12.5s CD
1.4s Void Time	25% Fire Rate Bonus

Maxing Quantum Entanglement increases its range and unlocks more potent buffs upon reappearing - overall giving it more potency in defensive and offensive situations.

Tips for Quantum Entanglement

• When the game begins, identify your most important allies (whether it’s hyper carries or ones that lack mobility) and the enemies that have key crowd control abilities.

  • Later on in the game you can use this info with Quantum Entanglement to completely avoid abilities like Infernus’ 4 (Concussive Combustion) if you have good timing/prediction.

Rejuvenating Aurora (3)
While channeling, restore health over time to you and any allies nearby.
32/s Health Restored	48s CD
5s Channel Duration	8m Friendly Heal Radius

Maxing Rejuvenating Aurora makes you an ambulance with increased mobility, more frequent healing, and even lets you shoot/use abilities/do anything while channeling when fully maxed.

Tips for Rejuvenating Aurora

• Positioning is everything with this ability, find the sweet spot for your comp to maximize the number of allies healed and prioritize keeping your most important targets healthy in major team fights.

• It can even heal your Troopers, so keep waves healthy to make pushes more potent.

Singularity (4)
Create a singularity in your hands that pulls in nearby enemies and damages them. Once it's finished, enemies get knocked into the air.
2.75s Channel Duration	191s CD
60 DPS	8m Singularity Radius

Maxing Singularity emphasizes your playmaking potential with an increased radius, longer duration, and additional damage output.

Tips for Singularity

• As we mentioned in the Weaknesses section, Singularity can be canceled by abilities and Items. Get in the habit of watching what your enemies are building throughout the game and plan accordingly. You’ll likely have windows before they buy items like Knockdown and Curse which can be expensive.
