Welcome to our Deadlock hero spotlight series, where we delve into the details of each character in the game. Today, we'll be focusing on Abrams, a formidable frontline tank with remarkable sustain and crowd control abilities. Read on to discover the unique skills and strategic potential of this influential character within the Deadlock universe.

What's Deadlock?

Deadlock is a third-person shooter game in which two teams of six battle for supremacy on a map. However, Deadlock adds a few unique components to the genre.

In contrast to previous shooters, Deadlock will feature tower defensive mechanisms, creeps, and the ability to purchase items with "souls", a resource you can gather by shooting them, to boost your hero's strength. These souls are a crucial part of the game, and they can be used to purchase powerful items that can turn the tide of battle. Creeps will appear at random locations on the map. A large AI boss will also be present in the center of the map. Deadlock is similar to Valve's DotA 2 in terms of the gameplay loop and map layout, among others.

Abrams

Abrams is a frontline close combat tank who can heal himself over time, as well as bring a good amount of crowd control into the mix. Crowd control -often abbreviated as CC- is a term used in gaming to describe abilities or spells that can limit an opponent's actions. These can include stuns, slows, silences, and other effects that can disrupt an enemy's strategy.

Abrams, with his bulk and sustain, is a force to be reckoned with. He fearlessly leads from the front, often charging into the midst of his foes and causing them to scatter. His enemies, if they waste their fire on him, only serve to allow his back-line teammates to unleash damage with impunity. This display of power and strategy makes Abrams a formidable and impressive character in the Deadlock universe.

His first ability, "Siphon Life", drains health from enemies in front of him while they are in the ability's radius. For his second ability, "Shoulder Charge", he charges forward, colling with enemies and dragging them along. Hitting a wall will stun enemies caught by Abrams. His speed will increase after colliding with enemy heroes. His third ability is a passive, "Infernal Resilience", which regenerates a portion of incoming damage over time. Lastly, his ultimate ability, "Seismic Impact", allows Abrams to leap high into the air and choose a ground location to crash into; when he hits the ground, all enemies in the radius are damaged and stunned. Abrams can press LMB (Left Mouse Button) to crash down early.

Abrams is a formidable force in the Deadlock universe, with his tank-like qualities, sustain, and crowd control abilities making him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. His unique skills and ultimate ability, "Seismic Impact," truly set him apart as a powerful and strategic character within the game.
