Deadlock Vindicta build guide

Making the Deadlock Vindicta Build could be a frustrating endeavor. Being the only sniper in the game, she can inflict great damage but remains one of the least popular heroes in the community. By understanding her items and abilities well, you can easily take on a lane independently and survive against multiple opponents until backup arrives.

Not much is known about Vindicta's backstory, except that she has been fighting against "The Friends Of Humanity" for a long time. It is an inquisition formed by John Hathorne's descendants that protect the supernatural beings. Vindicta is a victim of The Super Witch Trials that she barely survived.

On that note, here is the guide to make the best Deadlock Vindicta Build.
