Before heading into the Deadlock Wraith Build, let's understand her weapon and lore. Wraith is a fast-paced character with Tommy Gun as a primary weapon. You can confidently push enemy guardians and other NPCs using this hero as she has some of the lowest cooldowns out of all, and every ability is highly effective.

The in-game lore suggests that she is one of the biggest gamblers in New York and is so powerful that she is considered even above the law.

Here are Wratith's abilities:

• Card Trick: Deal weapon damage to summon cards. Activate to throw a card that flies towards the enemy or point under your crosshair. (Cooldown time is 0.5s)
• Project Mind: Teleport to the targeted location. (Cooldown time is 45s)
• Full Auto: Temporarily boosts your fire rate. Nearby allies receive half the fire rate bonus. (Cooldown time is 45s)
• Telekinesis: Lift an enemy hero into the air, stunning them briefly. When the lift ends, the target receives Telekinesis damage. (Cooldown time is 90s)
