Deadlock’s November 4 patch buffs Apollo and nerfs Baba and Celeste
Riposte can now disarm, Shining Wonder takes longer to recharge, and stacked Healbane cuts less healing.
Valve’s latest Deadlock balance patch changes seven heroes and Healbane. Apollo gains a disarm, while Baba and Celeste take several hits to their kits.
Hero changes
- Apollo. Riposte’s pommel strike now disarms its target, and the follow-up strike cancels an active parry. Itani Lo Sahn’s third upgrade now adds 60% bonus damage, up from 50%.
- Baba. Baba’s Brew takes 28 seconds to recharge, up from 27, and its burn scales less with Spirit. Granny Long Legs now grants 25% melee and debuff resistance each, down from 30%.
- Celeste. The third Dazzling Trick upgrade now adds 0.75 seconds of silence, down from 1.25. Shining Wonder’s cooldown rises from 160 to 170 seconds, and its slow falls from 32% to 28%.
- Deadman Danny. Close The Deal’s damage bonus against targets below half health drops from 75% to 55%.
- Mo & Krill, Nurse Harrow and Rat King. Combo grants 50 health per kill instead of 40. Nurse Harrow gains 8% bullet damage, and Rat King’s magazine grows from 24 to 26 rounds.
Healbane
Stacked Healbane cuts less healing. Two stacks now reduce healing by 54.7%, down from 57.8%. Four stacks reduce it by 72%, down from 82.2%.
