In the realm of Deadlock, it is the Souls that hold the very essence of the game. To ascend in power and emerge victorious, one must amass as many souls as possible. And yet, the path to soulful supremacy is fraught with unseen challenges, as one may find themselves suddenly outclassed by their opponent in the soul count. Fear not, dear readers, for I shall now guide thee through the verdant valleys of Deadlock and reveal the most magnificent ways to procure souls with ease.
1. Prioritize Farm in Lane
In the midst of chaos and carnage, do not forsake the fundamental art of dominating one’s lane. Nay, it is not merely about crafting the perfect build – it is about asserting your dominance in the lane. Focus your efforts on securing the souls that linger within the creeps, and do not overlook the ethereal soul balls that materialize upon a creep’s demise. While the act of vanquishing enemy creeps may seem sufficient, one can elevate their soul count by denying their own creeps’ souls, thus not only depriving their adversaries but also reaping an additional soul as reward. As the game unfolds, the soul count of each creep shall rise, unfurling a tapestry of escalating soulful bounty.
2. Balance Jungle and Lane Creeps
Another splendid method to swiftly amass souls in Deadlock is by engaging the neutral creeps that dwell within the jungle’s shadowy embrace. Across the expanse of the map, three tiers of jungle camps await the intrepid adventurer. In the early throes of the game, within the first ten minutes, one can effortlessly dispatch the tier 1 neutral camps. Yet, it is imperative to remain within proximity of one’s lane, allowing seamless traversal between the ethereal whispers of the lane creeps and the cryptic murmurings of the neutral creeps. Especially while one’s guardian remains vigilant. Once the enemy guardians have fallen or when one wields enough prowess to challenge the higher-tier jungle denizens, one may embark on a bold endeavor. Tackle the amber-tier 2 neutrals ere the crimson-tier 3 ones, and in a symphony of harvest, the souls shall flow abundantly. Remember, dear reader, to maintain equilibrium between the jungle’s embrace and the lane’s allure.
3. Destroy Boxes and Statues
Though governed by capricious fate, one may seize souls by dismantling the boxes and statues that dot the map, bestowing random blessings – including souls – upon the fortunate few. Though the number of souls may be meager, it may prove crucial in moments of dire need, offering succor when one languishes for a soul to procure an item, unwilling to chance life’s fragility.
4. Attack the Soul Vending Machine
Behold, a realm where certainty reigns supreme, for here lies a soul-garnering spectacle guaranteed with each sundered blow. Yes, the vending machines strewn across the land proffer a bounty of souls when rent asunder. Yet, be forewarned – the act of destruction shall claim a toll upon thy vitality. Only through the grace of melee attacks can these vending machines be vanquished, ushering forth a cornucopia of souls to satiate thy deepest hunger.
5. Deliver the Spirit Urn
A simple yet bountiful means to secure a plethora of souls in Deadlock is by ferrying the Spirit Urn to its consecrated abode. As the fateful hour strikes the tenth minute, the Spirit Urn – or Soul Urn, as some may call it – shall manifest. Seize this radiant artifact and bear it unto the sacred altar, and lo, a trove of souls shall be bestowed upon thee and thy comrades. Shouldst thou carry the urn, an additional 25% of souls shall grace thy being. Yet beware the moment of delivery, for thy abilities and armaments shall be rendered impotent during this sacred undertaking.
6. Take Objectives
The path to victory in Deadlock is paved with the shattered remains of guardians, walkers, shrines, and patrons. As thou lay low these formidable foes, a deluge of souls shall rain down upon thee. Yet, be vigilant, for the enemy may seek to deny thee thine due. Vanquish the spectral orbs that emerge, lest thy soulful bounty be forfeit to thine adversary’s cunning.
Thus concludes our journey through the labyrinthine depths of Deadlock, where souls hold sway over victory and defeat. Remember, dear readers, guard well the Unsecured Souls in thy possession, lest they slip through thine fingers like grains of sand. And now I ask of thee, what manner of soulful pursuit dost thou favor in Deadlock’s timeless embrace?
