Deadlock: Best Dynamo Build Guide

Dynamo is a support hero in Deadlock with the potential to turn the tide of battles. His ultimate is a game-changing skill, akin to Enigma’s Blackhole in Dota 2. This guide provides the best Dynamo build to maximize your impact in matches.

Dynamo Skill Progression

All heroes in Deadlock have four abilities, including an ultimate. As a support/initiator, Dynamo’s abilities are focused on crowd control and clash starter:

• Kinetic Pulse: Dynamo unleashes a short-range energy pulse that knocks enemies up into the air.
• Quantum Entanglement: Dynamo disappears into the void and teleports a short distance. After reappearing, his weapon is reloaded with a fire rate bonus, and can also be cast to bring nearby allies. These allies will also receive half the fire rate bonus.
• Rejuvenating Aurora: While channeling this ability, Dynamo will heal himself and allies around him.
• Singularity: Creates a singularity that pulls in nearby enemies to Dynamo while damaging them. After they are pull has completed, enemies are knocked into the air.

After acquiring all your skills at level one, focus on enhancing Kinetic Pulse and Rejuvenating Aurora. Then, balance out the upgrades for your remaining skills.
