Overview

Dynamo is one of the best support heroes in Deadlock, its playstyle being a mix of tanking and support as Dynamo is capable of both!

Skills

  • Kinetic PulseKinetic PulseDynamo's most versatile skill, you should use this whenever you have the chance to throw enemies into the air while also slowing them down and increasing the damage you do to them. You can also use Kinetic PulseKinetic Pulse for clearing the wave as it deals high damage, capable of clearing out groups of troopers with ease.
  • Quantum EntanglementQuantum Entanglement — This teleport skill can doom or save you and your team mates whenever used. It can be used to carry yourself and nearby heroes to a new destination, allowing you to dodge high damaging skills like Death SlamDeath Slam or force a fight by pushing with your team, increasing everyone's fire rate and also reloading your weapon.
  • Rejuvenating AuroraRejuvenating Aurora — Your healing skill, capable of healing an entire team as long you make sure to let them know to stay in the AOE as team mates often get out of it without realizing that they could benefit from the heal. Use it as often as possible to keep your team healthy and as close to full HP at all times.
  • SingularitySingularity — Being one of the most impactful skills in Deadlock, SingularitySingularity pulls enemies into a black hole and holds them for a few seconds. However, you remain vulnerable when using it, which requires follow-up from your team or else you might end up dying during the duration of SingularitySingularity. You should always try to catch as many enemies as possible with SingularitySingularity as the long cooldown can be an issue until you can buy RefresherRefresher.

Early Game / Laning Phase

You should focus on gaining a souls advantage in lane as early as possible, do this by denying trooper kills while also farming them yourself. You can push the enemy by comboing Quantum EntanglementQuantum Entanglement with Kinetic PulseKinetic Pulse, allowing you to quickly burst down the enemy with help from Close QuartersClose Quarters, High-Velocity MagHigh-Velocity Mag and Rapid RoundsRapid Rounds.

Make sure to also buy Mystic BurstMystic Burst as it increases your Kinetic PulseKinetic Pulse damage and allows you to quickly clear the trooper wave.

The last item you should buy in the early game is Majestic LeapMajestic Leap which can be used to gank from a vertial angle. Throw yourself into the air with Majestic LeapMajestic Leap before pressing it again to crash down on top of your enemy and continuing the rotation with Kinetic PulseKinetic Pulse or land a SingularitySingularity!

Early Game Situational

If you are struggling in lane, Health NovaHealth Nova is a great item to buy early in order to heal yourself but also your allies, increasing the healing done depending on how many team mates are around you when you use the item.

Mid Game

Once into the mid game, rush RefresherRefresher as early as possible to start forcing team fights and improve your ganking potential by using SingularitySingularity twice. RefresherRefresher also resets all your other abilities, which means you can use Rejuvenating AuroraRejuvenating Aurora twice to heal yourself to full after almost using your entire HP or simply to keep your team healthy.

Roaming should be your first priority in the mid game as helping other lanes and ganking enemies as much as possible can bring a massive souls advantage to this Dynamo support build.

Duration ExtenderDuration Extender, Improved CooldownImproved Cooldown & Mystic ReachMystic Reach are fantastic for SingularitySingularity once you've already acquired RefresherRefresher and should be your next purchases as you advance into the mid game. However, don't underestimate Mystic ShotMystic Shot as it greatly increases your next shot fired with your gun and helps improve your damage after using Kinetic PulseKinetic Pulse.

Team fights is where Dynamo shines the most though and you should force as many as possible, following your team around and engaging with them for a decisive victory that could allow you to dominate the mid game and their side of the map, allowing you and your team mates to keep snowballing as you take souls from both jungle camps and vending machines.

Late Game

Once the late game begins, focus on continuing the souls snowball but look for opportunities to also run the Midboss as killing it could easily lead to the victory screen. If your team fails to gather for a Midboss kill, keep in mind that you can also make a play alone. Drop down into the Midboss pit where the Rejuvenator spawns then use SingularitySingularity to pull all enemies into it as the Rejuvenator is coming down. Cancel SingularitySingularity and use Parry to bait enemies into heavy attacking you before using your own heavy attack to steal the Rejuvenator while enemies are stunned.

Purchasing Healing BoosterHealing Booster is a great choice as many heroes begin to buy HealbaneHealbane into the late game in order to counter your healing.

Dynamo's SingularitySingularity should be further boosted by Escalating ExposureEscalating Exposure and Improved ReachImproved Reach in order to become even deadlier before the end of the game.

  • KnockdownKnockdown — Cheap item to counter both snipers like Vindicta and Grey Talon by knocking them out of the air. This also works on Seven while he is ulting and he will also be stopped.
  • Silence GlyphSilence Glyph — Buy this if you want to silence enemies and turn them into a quick kill. Works exceptionally well vs enemies that make use of short cooldowns like Lash. It is also great for countering Yamato as the silence can stop her from using the ultimate.
