How To STOMP as Lady Geist - Deadlock Guide [In-Depth]

[@fugioXD]

So hard to find good guides that aren't just full replays without any commentary! Loved it thanks a lot.

[@bavinngames]

No problem! I feel the same way haha, that's why I started making these :)

[@bobvance532]

Mystic reverb on malice + mystic slow is really good CC on geist

[@vampRaziel]

Solid video, keep it up!

[@jeremyhicks4517]

Great video! Good advice. Other Tier IV items I like on geist is Echo Shard for double bomb, and double silence with your 2. It also gives you some bullet resist. Escalating Exposure is also really good. Stacking that item while getting malice stacks will make you chunk the enemy team. The extra spirit resist is nice as well. Also don't sleep on the upgrade for mystic reach. huge area bombs and extra bullet resist is really nice late game. Also while Geist is great with a spirit build, Boundless spirit is something she doesn't need. Other tier IV's mentioned in this video are more important pickups. I'd also rather have Escalating Exposure and Echo Shard over Boundless Spirit.

[@bavinngames]

All great points! The echo shard for double life drain sounds fun. The other things you mentioned are actually in my build, I just didn’t explicitly talk about it. I forgot to mention the build is public. I gotta make some final edits now that I posted the video.

[@mmclaug907]

Solid, well-paced video. Would you consider improving your in-game guide by adding comments, i.e. general buy-order / fully writing out what ability to imbue with certain items / when to buy some items over others? You go over some abilities/items/imbuements in this video/guide but it would be unrealistic to reference this video mid-match.

[@bavinngames]

Those are some good points. I just improved the build path a ton so hopefully it's a bit easier to navigate in-game. Also now most of the items have annotations as well. Thanks for the heads up on this!

[@mmclaug907]

@@bavinngames I appreciate it! In your guide you recommend improved reach, which ability do you find best imbued with it?

[@bavinngames]

@@mmclaug907 bomb, for sure. I guess I could see an argument for W but the spread on that bomb is just too good with improved reach.

[@Trytinion]

Another great guide!

[@bavinngames]

Thanks!!!

lady gyatttt beserk so underrated on her it can self proc with 1 and 3

[@corytheworm3513]

Hiding with 1hp around a corner to ult someone then smack them in the face will forever make geist a fun character by itself

[@bavinngames]

She truly is the best jumpscare hero in the game lol

[@Trytinion]

Someone tried this with me the other day, I am still really new but play warden. Ran around a corner chasing a geist for her to turn and switch my health, she however didn't let me get her low enough so I popped my ult and ended on full health but it deffo made me check my pants afterwards 🤣

[@cathessis]

I have the most damage every Lady Geist game, I try to push for objectives and attend every teamfights unlike some afk farmers. BUT, in the late game, team just dies one by one for nothing, middle of the map and even my DEFENDER ESSENCE BOMB CANNON LADY GEIST V3000 SILVERLAKE cannot win the game. Even in the high rank ranked matches, some dudes prefer afk farm or rage quit after dying middle of the map for nothing and cries to the team, grieving then quits from the game. Horribble experience 10/10 gonna queue for next match.

[@theDynamicSkunk]

i love her little hand

[@flameslinger2777]

HOLY GYAT

[@rsf-zy7pf]

Which ability do you imbue with Superior Cooldown?

[@bavinngames]

Usually bomb because Malice is already such a low cooldown at max rank.

[@plebugen9659]

This game looks so fun but i just cant find a binding for the abilities that actually feels good to use so im yet to play a single game that i actually enjoyed

[@TimurZhiyenbayev]

try 1 2 m5 m4 for skills and 3 4 C E for items. obv binds are very personal, but these do not mess with default binds for other things. you might also want to try instant casts cuz they eliminate a lot of inputs and feel less overwhelming.

[@ivanlubianiy3371]

yeah, i do agree with you. I ah difficulties with pressing the actual buttons quick enough. To use some active items you need to press 3 times to use them on yourself, same with some ultimates, etc. I recommend switching to quick cast or immediate cast to make the process easier

[@bavinngames]

A few alternate binds I see used often are E and mouse buttons. These are much easier than Z, X, C. This is just for the item binds though

[@zilliq-qz5uw]

I use the same ability buttons as overwatch (+1 because overwatch only has 3 abilities) and I use 1,2,3,4 for items (like selecting weapons in other games). My punch key in overwatch is the shop key in deadlock so I moved the shop to 5, it took a couple of games to get used to but it's not so bad. I haven't found a satisfactory key for zipline yet though I want to move away from using space because it can cause issue when jumping from roof (it messed up a few plays for me with Lash). Parry was tough, I use the key that I usually keep for sprint in most games. I might have a few more keys available because I play ESDF instead of WASD

[@zilliq-qz5uw]

​@@ivanlubianiy3371self cast is only 2 times, I'm not aware of having to tap the key 3 times for any item

[@Alticroo]

whats your opinion on getting infuser early game and getting 2 ranks of siphon first? I prefer this over bomb but lately I think I am starting to get into lobbies with more sweats and it's just not the same breeze of a match

[@bavinngames]

I like that idea I just don’t think there’s enough opportunities to get full value from your siphon early to make it ‘viable’. Players already just LOS you in lane when you life drain them. If you they noticed you have infuser and T2 siphon, they’ll definitely just avoid extended trades. That’s a fun strat though. Life Drain definitely slept on sometimes.

[@Doduszkaa]

I hate lady geist so much

[@bavinngames]

I feel the same way when I'm against her

[@Doduszkaa]

@@bavinngames ye you do all that damage against her only for her to healthswap at the last second Such a bullshit mechanic

[@DARKSN0VV]

Personally i dont like this build its not bad by any means, but you are downplaying the power of bomb late game. My build revolves around making bomb hit really hard. Buy improve reach, Superior cooldown on bomb, mystic reverb on bomb and escalating exposure. The range that bomb can increase is absurd, and will always be hitting people in team fights. Malice with superior cooldown will practically be up always so spam it as much as you can. Granted I play aggressive as a back liner since this build will have you with low HP a lots of times, if you can buy leach you are good, but always buy spirit lifesteal and enduring spirit for some sustain. My games usually run for about 30-40min and I end up with 50K healing its crazy how good life drain is when the opponent has 5 stacks of malice and escalating exposure on.|

[@bavinngames]

I actually build all of those items the same. The only difference is mystic reverb on malice over bomb. I can see how fully playing around bomb can be really fun though.

[@zilliq-qz5uw]

If you go so hard into bomb why not get a cheeky echo shard at some point ?

[@MrVad3r]

@@zilliq-qz5uw yeah echoshard + alchemist fire on bomb build feels amazing. enemies cant fight on ground combined with mistic slow. also double long duration silence with echo shard is kinda crazy into heroes like pocket and yamato too which are kinda popular these days.
