So we’re going to see how to best play Dynamo in Dead endsome builds we recommend and the order of abilities.

Best Dynamo Abilities in Deadlock

Here you will find the best starting abilities and the maximum path for Dynamo. There is no objectively correct method, but it is generally a good starting point.

Armed with one of the best heals in the game, it’s important to focus on your Rejuvenating Aurora to ensure you can keep yourself and your team healthy. Maxing out your ability quickly will also allow you to use Aurora while moving and shooting, which is essential.

Although Kinetic impulse is one of your most important abilities, it’s best to just level it up to slow down enemy movement, then focus on your Aurora and ultimate.

When it comes to initiating a team fight or even saving a fight that has gone badly, Singularity may be that turning point as it has fantastic CC and can easily allow your teammates to wipe out the enemy team, provided you use it correctly.

Best Build on Dynamo: Deadlock Items Explained

We’ll divide the items into four sections: early game, mid game, late game/luxury purchases, and situational items.

The first three sections should give you an idea of ​​what items you should buy at each stage of the game, even if you are fed you are free to start buying end game items.

Situational items are meant for specific scenarios where you need to start countering different heroes.

So, here’s what you should buy when playing Dynamo:

Early Game Items

If you are just starting out and are still having trouble getting used to Dynamo’s delayed projectiles when playing against long-range heroes, you should buy High speed mag to make it easier for you.

Since it excels at close range and you generally want to play at mid to close range of enemies, Close quarters is a must.

The Dynamo lacks a bit of mobility, so it’s good to have it Extra endurancealthough it is not necessary. Due to its spongy nature, it is nice to have it Additional healthAnd Healing Rite as another source of healing for you or a teammate.

Additional charges is another must-have as it allows you to have double charge on your Kinetic Pulse, and Mystic Reach is also required so your abilities can have greater range.

Mid-game items

Immaculate Emblem is a great item to get first to help your team start melting enemies, and Point blank is another great item to get since you’ll most likely be playing at close range.

Improved cooldown And Longer Duration are very useful because Dynamo’s cooldowns can be quite long. We like to put Improved Cooldown on Aurora and Greater Duration on Singularity.

Healing Stimulator This is a no-brainer as it greatly increases your healing output and allows you to be as useful as possible in team fights.

Since Dynamo lacks mobility, it’s worth having Enduring Stamina, Greater Stamina, and Kinetic Run. Majestic Leap is also another must-have as it allows you to escape from tricky positions.

Endgame/Luxury Items

At this point in the game, you will likely be the one engaging in combat with your Singularity by teleporting, so getting Unstoppable is very important because you will be able to prevent enemies from stopping you before you can do anything.

This is also why Improved bulletproof armor And Improved Spirit Armors are great because they will give you enough support to dive right into teamfights.

Higher cooldown time And Update are essential as they will allow you to reduce your cooldowns to a minimum, and Refresher allows you to use Singularity twice in a team fight.

Improved range This is also a good one to get because it builds on Mystic Reach and lets you use your abilities from further away.

Spiritual overflow is a great damage item because it scales well in the late game, and when paired with Inhibitor which slows down enemies, this should give you a pretty lethal hit.

Situational elements

Since these are situational, we’ll explain when you might want to use them:

• Distortion Stone: One of Dynamo’s weaknesses is his lack of mobility, so Warp Stone could come in handy if you find yourself in the middle of a dive.
• Hunter’s Aura: If you find yourself losing a path, the Hunter’s Aura might help you regain it if you find yourself struggling with an enemy.
• Divine Barrier: If you find yourself melting mid-game, Divine Barrier is your answer as it will give you just enough time to cast your ultimate and for your team to clean up.
• Restorer medallion: If you’re lacking healing, the Restorative Medallion can help you power up your teammates, or even yourself.
• Removal of Weakenings: If you find yourself with too many debuffs, especially when enemies target you, Debuff Remover is a good thing to get.
• Metal skin: If you’re facing enemies with massive bullet damage, Metal Skin is a great choice. Using it right when you dive so you can cast your ultimate is a great combo.
• Slowing Spell: If you plan on doing targeted dives, Slowing Hex is a great item as you can force enemies to fight you at close range, which is where you excel.
• Fast charging: Since Rapid Recharge builds on Extra Charge, it can be useful if you’re planning on a more aggressive playstyle, giving you a third charge for Kinetic Pulse.
• Curse: If there is a particularly well-fed enemy that you and your teammates want to target, Curse is a great item to use on them and ensure they are helpless against your dives.

That’s all you need to know about playing Dynamo in Deadlock! As one of the best support heroes, you won’t always shine and you’ll sometimes be the first to die when engaging the enemy, but you’re absolutely essential to a team’s composition.
