Browse all articles ↓How Deadlock itemisation works
Souls only matter if you spend them well. This section covers the shop, item tiers, hero-specific builds and the items that decide fights: cooldown resets, dispels, defensive picks and late-game power spikes.
Where to start
Understand the shop
The builds and items guides explain item tiers, the build browser and what Popular Items data actually reflects.
Follow a hero build
Hero build pages give an item direction and the reasoning behind each purchase rather than one fixed order.
Check the current meta
Tier lists and meta pages summarise which heroes and items are performing, with the evidence behind each ranking.
