Deadlock Wraith Guide and Overview

Wraith is one of Deadlock’s best splitpushers and duelists with a versatile kit. She can poke from afar, is tough to engage on due to her teleport, and can absolutely shred waves and towers.

Strengths

• Easy engage with point-and-click CC.

• Has one of the best escape teleports in the game.

• Can dominate sidelines with pressure.

Weaknesses

• Her ultimate can be countered by Items like Ethereal Shift.

• Doesn’t offer much utility if she falls behind.

• Can be vulnerable to ganks if her teleport is down and she hasn’t maxed it.

Underlined = Scales with Spirit

Card Trick (1)
Deal weapon damage to summon cards. Activate to throw a card that flies towards the enemy or point under your crosshair.
5m Radius	0.75s CD
80 damage	1 Charges

Maxing Card Trick gives it a 2nd charge, additional damage, and accelerates its summoning rate - essentially maximizing her long range poke potential.

Tips for Card Trick

Use Card Trick’s splash to damage enemies hiding behind cover. This can be particularly effective in lane as you can force lane opponents behind cover, hit them with splash, and then win out in long trades.

Project Mind (2)
Teleport to the targeted location.
25m range	48s cooldown

Maxing Project Mind makes Wraith incredibly hard to catch by giving her teleport a big boost in range, making Wraith more tanky upon finishing the teleport, and letting her cast it more often.

Tips for Project Mind

• When splitpushing always have an escape plan in mind, whether it’s a nearby rooftop or to your zipline, you predict where you’re going before trouble comes.

  • By doing so and having strong map awareness you can be an oppressive force in shoving lanes and punishing the enemy team if they aren’t respecting you

Full Auto (3)
Temporarily boosts your fire rate. Nearby allies receive half the fire rate bonus.
25m Radius	48s CD
5s Duration	+20% Fire Rate

Maxing Full Auto augments your attack speed steroid with a reduced cooldown, added Spirit Damage per bullet, and even some Bullet Lifesteal.

Tips for Full Auto

• Remember that this not only buffs your teammates but also your Trooper waves, which boosts your pushing power even more when applying map pressure.

Telekinesis (4)
Lift an enemy hero into the air, stunning them for a short time. When the lift ends, the target receives Telekinesis damage.
20m Range	1.25 Duration
95s Cooldown	200 Damage

Maxing Telekinesis cuts down its cooldown by a third, increases its duration, and even turns it from a single-target to an AoE ability.

Tips for Telekinesis

• Get in the habit of watching what the enemy team is building and adjust your game plan based on who builds items that can counter Telekinesis.

  • Try to avoid the ones that do build counter items or track their cooldowns if they use it on one of your allies instead.
