  4. Select Abilities: Use the Weapon, Vitality, and Spirit tabs to find and add abilities. Click on the desired ability to include it in your build.
  5. Organize Abilities: Go back to the Builds tab to drag abilities into their respective categories.

Continue this process until you've added all the necessary abilities for your custom build. Once complete, click „Save Changes.“

For added guidance, you can use the Edit button to recommend upgrades by arranging the Hero's abilities in a specific order. This helps streamline your strategy during gameplay.

How to use a public build

For those who prefer using community-created builds in Deadlock, there is an easy way to access and apply them. These builds are crafted by other players and can be among the most effective strategies.

  1. Open the Shop: Begin by hitting the Browse Builds button in the shop menu.
  2. Navigate to Public Builds: On the left sidebar, select the Public tab to access a list of builds shared by the community.
