Ask any high-ranked Deadlock player what separates ranks, and most will say the same thing: soul economy. It's not aim, not mechanics — it's how many souls you secure and deny.
Key points: Souls are the game's currency; The core of soul economy is last-hitting; Denying is the second half.
Ask any high-ranked Deadlock player what separates ranks, and most will say the same thing: soul economy. It's not aim, not mechanics — it's how many souls you secure and deny.
Souls are the game's currency. They buy items, upgrade abilities, and turn small advantages into unstoppable snowballs. Every match is a race to out-farm the enemy team.
The core of soul economy is last-hitting. Troopers drop souls when they die, and only the player who lands the killing blow gets them. Missing a last hit means giving souls to the enemy for free. At low ranks, players miss 30-40 percent of their last hits — that's thousands of souls lost per game.
Denying is the second half. When a trooper dies, a soul orb floats up. If you shoot it before the enemy does, you deny them that soul. Good players deny aggressively, turning every wave into a small advantage.
The practical goal: aim for 8+ souls per minute in the laning phase. That's roughly 500 souls per minute of lane time. Below that, you're falling behind the curve.
Between waves, farm jungle camps. The camps respawn on timers, and efficient players route between lane and jungle to maximize income. Adding 500-1,000 souls per game from jungle is a full item advantage by mid game.
Souls also come from kills and objectives, but these are less consistent. Farming is the reliable income — always available, always in your control.
Once you build a soul lead, convert it into items that multiply your power. A 2,000-soul advantage translates into a stronger item spike, which wins fights, which secures objectives, which extends the lead. This is the snowball.
How to practice: use the Z key to check your soul count regularly. Compare your per-minute income after each game. Watch high-level players and note their farming patterns between waves.
The fastest rank-ups come from fixing soul economy, not mechanics. Most players below Emissary are losing thousands of souls per game without realizing it. Fix that, and you'll climb even if your aim is average.
