Welcome back to our Hero Spotlight series! In this edition, we'll explore the enigmatic abilities of Haze, a covert operative from the notorious Sandman Division. With her unparalleled capabilities and stealthy tactics, Haze plays a crucial role in maintaining national security against sinister threats. Let's uncover the secrets behind Haze's unique skills and their impact on the battlefield.

Background

The Occult Security and Investigation Commission is a black-box government organization that makes the CIA look transparent. The men, women, and entities of the OSIC, with their unique and unparalleled capabilities, are responsible for keeping the country safe from sinister forces beyond the capabilities of local law enforcement.

As a member of the notorious Sandman Division, Haze is routinely tasked with infiltrating the dreams of persons of interest to assess their threat level and, if necessary, put them to sleep.

Hero Overview

When Haze fixates on a target, she can hold her own in a firefight. She prefers to create one-sided exchanges, avoiding damage and then picking off unsuspecting targets up close.

Sleep Dagger

Haze's Sleep Dagger is a powerful tool. It damages and sleeps the target, and even when the target wakes up, they are not safe. The first upgrade removes 1 stamina, the second reduces the cooldown by 13 seconds, and the third applies a -12% Bullet Resist for 6 seconds on wake-up.

Smoke bomb

Haze fades out of sight, becoming invisible and gaining sprint speed. Attacking removes invisibility. Close enemies can see through Haze's invisibility. Its first upgrade reduces the cooldown by 15 seconds, and the second grants +6m/s sprint speed while invisible. The third upgrade grants +30% Bullet Lifesteal after invisibility for 8 seconds.

Fixation

Fixation is a passive ability that allows Haze to increase bullet damage on a target she shoots and gains one stack per bullet hit and two if the hit is a headshot. The first upgrade grants 60 Spirit damage and 15% slow for 2 seconds to target every 20 stacks. The second upgrade grants +30 max stack and +5 second duration. The final upgrade grants +0.2 damage per stack.

Bullet Dance

Haze enters a flurry, firing her weapon at nearby enemies with perfect accuracy. During the flurry, Haze gains a fire rate bonus and evades some of the bullets shot at her. The first upgrade grants +7 Weapon Damage, the second reduces the cooldown by 40 seconds, and the final upgrade grants +1 targets hit per shot.

Haze's expertise in infiltration and stealth, combined with her formidable arsenal of abilities, makes her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Whether it's incapacitating targets with her Sleep Dagger, vanishing from sight with her Smoke Bomb, or unleashing a flurry of accurate shots with Bullet Dance, Haze brings a dynamic and elusive playstyle to the game. Her role in safeguarding the country from supernatural threats truly makes her a standout hero in the Deadlock universe.
