Deadlock Lady Geist Best Build and Guide

Table of Contents

In Deadlock, Lady Geist is a strong but hard character to play for most people. The reason is that it does not have an automatic weapon like most characters, but it has a pistol. So on the laning stage, you will need a lot of skill in order to kill creeps and avoid getting denied. Her ultimate is great, but it is extremely situational. What makes her ultimate hard to use is her small range, and most of the heroes have high mobility, so you will have a hard time swapping health. Overall, she is a great hero, but may not be suitable for new players.
