Harass and get early kills with Lady Geist’s first skill.

All heroes in Deadlock have four abilities, including an ultimate. Here is the complete list of Lady Geist’s skills:

  • Essence Bomb: Lady Geist launches a ticking bomb at enemies, costs HP to use.
  • Life Drain: Lady Geist tethers herself to an enemy to drain their HP, healing herself. Though her movement speed is slowed, she can still cast abilities and shoot at the tethered and other enemies.
  • Malice: Lady Geist throws a shard of blood at enemies, slowing them and causing them to take more damage from her. Costs HP to use.
  • Soul Exchange: Literally Terrorblade’s ultimate from Dota 2, where Lady Geist swaps her HP with an opponent. Cannot bring enemies below 30 percent HP (or 20 when upgraded).

Essence Bomb is an excellent skill for harassing and even killing enemies in the early stages of the game. Be sure to max it out first to maximize its effectiveness.
