I've never played a MOBA before and while I have played hero shooters that part seems to make it even worse because it's such a paradigm shift to go from something like OW/valorant to this. But it's insane how much attention to detail this game has, it's much more complex than it lets on.

Actually, dota itself has very few abilities that scale off anything at all. Out of some obvious ones that scale of attack damage, there are only I would say 5 whole abilities that scale at all.
@@skyscrapersheaf5300 The scal;ing can be personalized however the devs think it's the best, even in LoL if I remember correctly there were some characters that made more damage the more tanky you built, what matters is making it clear, and I think that deadlock is clear enough
@@rayder3543 not going to lie, I clicked the video thinking I was going to be told it worked a different way than expected then pleasantly surprised it DID work exactly how I expected. Even in popular games like Genshin, you have % scaling on stats per abilities. From a purely balance perspective if two characters have damage abilities, and one is on a 3 second cd and another on a 6 second putting this in a vacuum you might expect the 6 second ability to get 100% of value and the 3 second one to get 50% ensuring they scale the same. Ignoring all other variables of course. Feels like this is the most intuitive and expected approach.
Yeah. I wasn’t sure if this video was just about this but it is… After thousands of hours in Mobas especially after Dota, pressing alt for the actual scraps of information in the tooltips has become second nature.
this game has SO much potential. coming from someone who wrote MOBAs off, deadlock's choice to be a third person shooter really helped me bridge that gap and gave me the motivation to learn more about the complexities. my biggest issue, though, is that currently the in-game tutorials are incredibly barebones (its mostly okay since the game is in alpha) and required me to look up guides like this video to properly understand simple but obscured information. i think this game's success and longevity hinges on having a thorough but welcoming tutorial so that players can pick up on all the basics they need to understand so they have enough surface level knowledge to begin interacting with the games deeper mechanics without having to constantly look things up. if valve can pull through, i think deadlock can shift the tides of the multiplayer gaming scene in a huge way.
You can trust the community that poured hours upon hours of their time playing the game for all the details you need to get started, which is pretty awesome.
@@pumpkinspice5848 I know, I think the tutorial they have in deadlock is really good, I just meant that they never updated or added to tf2's tutorials so I wouldn't be surprised if this one wasn't expanded upon. But it would be great if they added more to it. Also, what explanation did you see? can I get a link to where they said they didn't want to explain this stuff? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding.
So it's literally ability power scaling in any other MOBA. Only certain abilities are affected by it, and the abilities that are affected are affected differently based on a scalar percentage. I think it's really cool to have some characters get bonuses other than damage for their abilities based on Spirit, like the movement speed guy or magazine size guy. This isn't just another AP/AD system like what we always see.
You gotta keep in mind, this video isn't for MOBA players, this is for people who are new to the genre. Obviously League players will understand the system because it's literally identical.
@@meekumanu to be fair, I've played league for ages but I still watched this video - not to learn really how it works, but where to see the stuff on the UI and if theres any other differences
I've found that there are a lot of abilities in this game that scale with something other than what you would intuitively think that they scale with...and the game doesn't really tell you
I remember almost a decade ago I used to watch your The Division 1 videos, now I found you again through Deadlock and the content is still as high quality as I remember back then
It should be noted that the spirit store also has a lot of items that modify aspects of skills that don't get affected with spirit power. Spell duration for instance will increase duration of all spells where it's relevant, regardless of whether or not duration scales with spirit power.
there's lots of interactions like that, though. I assume there will be a video specifically about items sometime in the future. I'm personally a big fan of range extension on some heroes, since it also affects things like area of effect radius, but I think most of the spirit items are pretty good. I often end up buying mainly spirit items, except on characters that absolutely need different item classes (like Abrams who thrives off survivability items, or Haze who benefits tremendously from weapon upgrades; neither of those are my favorite heroes, though).
The difference between regular damage and spirit damage has been the one thing i wasnt able to figure out at all so far, so thankful for this guide! going to play around with a few heroes in sandbox now, thanks!
Been watching you since div glad you found a new game to make content for, can't wait to see the future of this channel. keep kicking ass Marco keep it up
Oh my word this makes so much more sense, I had no idea what this even remotely did. Thank you for such a clear and easy to understand guide! Hope the algorithm agrees!
Very nice quick informative video. I really appreciate your commitment to detail and accuracy with these. It's also nice that Valve has provided this information in game, even if it's tucked away in weird little corners.
If you hover over an item in the shop it shows you which stats it woulkd effect by how much (or if at all). Basically it shows every base stat, skill or item that would be effected in regards to: duration, cooldown, HP, MS, Bullet DMG, Skill DMG, etc. etc. even Self DMG for Lady Geist. (i think the only exceptions are "Superior Cooldown" and "Superior Duration". Here the change for the desired skill won't be shown untill you select which skill you want to change - But the general changes will still be displayed even before that.)
Great guide explaining the spirit scaling. When you get around to the item guide, I'm looking forward to explanations of drop offs and break points for each stat. An overview of stats as well would be fantastic too.
Keep these coming! Very helpful and really polished considering how fast these are coming out. Especially compared to some of the half assed videos other people are making
I receive the key recently and gotta say this channel helps me a lot to understanding deadlock. The long and detailed guides are good but also this kinda short guide is what i needed too. compact info within short time of explanation. if you can make it into short format, will really help a lot!
Succinct, helpful. Great guide. It's definitely a little confusing at first, I initially thought the bright purple highlight meant that certain skill attributes were conditional and only active when lit up, took me a few minutes in the sandbox to realize I was wrong.
New viewer here. I’ve checked around for a couple of guides since the NDA has lifted, and you are one of few people who seem to mix good gameplay with good content creation as well. Not exactly familiar with your past but I should check it out if the quality of work is the same. I really enjoy your style and hope to see more informational videos about Deadlock like you said you would! :)
That little clip at the end, where Rescue Beam stops Bebop's pull was *chef's kiss*. Really did not know that was possible, but thinking about how much crazy shit is in dota I'm not surprised! Been having a blast with this game!
Thanks this actually helped, even though I mostly already got it. They make it really ambiguous in-game with mixing terms like "Spirit" "Spirit Power" and "Spirit Damage" and "Spirit Ability" etc. Especially the first three seem to be used interchangeably.
So, similar to League, some characters have AP (Spirit Power) scaling, some don't. For those that do, their scaling varies, and that variation determines whether or not to go full Spirit Power or something else. A good example to look at is Yamato's kit. Barely any of her abilities scale with Spirit Power, except her 1st ability, which has an insane amount of scaling and base damage. If you look at it in isolation, her 1st ability is an insane nuke tool that can dish an insane amount of damage, while giving 60 bullet resist. (Therefore, there exists a build that builds solely around her 1st) But then the rest of her kit is the exact opposite, loving a more closeup, weapon damage/melee playstyle (hypercarry), with no spirit power scaling.
more or less yeah, anyone that comes from league like you and I will be able to understand it easier because it’s just a different play on AP. Dota doesn’t really have any system similar to that so I can see where a lot of the confusion comes from 😅
@@G13ULTRAsmite also has this pretty much, although its much more simple than the one from league. idk how dotas power system works. this is much closer to smites tho i would say. each character can only build and dish out one damage type, and that damage type scales everything they do. which is magical and physical. a character can only be physical or magical and that never changes. so you cant build magic on a physical god. although this is changing with smite 2
@@jokered1133 that's just the acronym AP being the same, Ability Points in deadlock are equivalent to getting a level in league, Ability Power in league is equivalent to Spirit Power in deadlock
This probably wasn't your intention, but I feel the section at 1:14 could be misinterpreted by new players to mean that Paradox's Carbine isn't affected by spirit power at all, when the clip is only showing that its damage isn't affected by spirit power. That ability gets increased speed from spirit power instead (imbuing it with Surge of Power is particularly effective since it grants a flat speed increase on top of the extra spirit also granting more speed).
Tldr you need to watch skill-specific scalings by holding alt button over the skill to understand how much spirit power affects your character exactly. The purple star symbol stands for what is being affected by Spirit Power and what's the coefficient is.
I am confused my menu does not show how much the spirit power scales with abilities just that it does scale. Is this a console command or something? 2:31
@marcostyle loving your videos so far. item videos would be great. best if you actually explain how and when to use certain items, especially active ones! many guides have a bunch of items but don't give any hints on how to use them
I started playing a few days ago and I remember searching on the internet trying to figure out what spirit power was and how it worked to no avail. Nice someone is covering it.
funniest thing imo that scales with spirit power is haze's ult duration. You can reach absurd duration of it if you fully invest into spirit power (don't do it please, it's only funny in firing range, and in the actual matches you are gonna get stunned out of it or simply killed).
Bear in mind that scaling values are not created equal. A 0.5x multiplier on an ultimate ability that has 300 base damage anyway is not very impressive, but a 0.5x multiplier on a damage (or even better, heal) per second ability is pretty decent. With 100 spirit power (0.5*100 = 50 scaling added), you would improve your ultimate by 16% (50/300 = 16%), but with the 0.5x multiplier on a heal that has, say, 50 base heal, you've just doubled its effectiveness from 50 to 100 hps.
I will also add that some heroes have one or two abilities with exceptionally good scaling, such as Grey Talon's charged shot. I've found that investing into Surge of Power, which gives +28 (or with the latest patch +34) to a single ability (on top of the base upgrade you get anyway) can be very much worth it in those cases.
thank you so much for the videos because I am not able to play this game but wish i could lol, this game i think is going to be my new addiction when i can get my hands on it
can you make a video on build making? some public builds have a space where there are 4-6 slots for surviving through specific scenarios, I know there's one that sends out a shield when you get silenced or frozen in place, I need one of these guides so I can add it to my builds once I start making them. Thanks!
Man love playing grey talon for this exact reason And his ulti gains 5 spirit power for each kill with it, which means, in theory, that you can stack his speed infinitely))))
Noticed 7's main weapon being dog ass even with chain lighting since you build him for his ult but then in the late game the gun with chain lightning becomes realy powerfull. Never understood why, thinking its an item thats just realy strong that I buy at the end but now im guessing the last step of chain lighting might adjust the modifier.
I’ve never played a moba so I genuinely have no idea when I’m supposed to utilize jungles or switch lanes. My brain just thinks “aha yes I get further down lane”
Here's how spirit power actually works: [proceeds to relate exactly how it's explained in game] I don't know anyone who assumed spirit power was a percent increase.
so if an ability scales with spirit power*2 and the ability does 50 damage and i have 50 spirit power the damage would now be 150? thank you for the video
Hold alt while hovering over the abilities. It sometimes doesn't work on the first attempt in a game (a bug) but just try again by letting go of alt and pressing it again.

I’ve never played a moba so I genuinely have no idea when I’m supposed to utilize jungles or switch lanes. My brain just thinks “aha yes I get further down lane”
Destiny 2 wishes they had these kind of stats visible.
thx but how long does it take for a invite i got infited but i stil cant join avter 2 day s ?
But how do things like duration of an ability scale? They don't have a multiplier next to the symbol but it can't be 1.
Good question. Kinda need to grab spirit in the sandbox and do the math yourself at the moment.
Duration also shows the same multiplier. just hold alt while inspecting abilities.
@@MarcoStyle Oh, I guess the clips without that in the video confused me. Cool that holding alt works on the heroes page. Thanks for the video!
Here's how spirit power actually works: [proceeds to relate exactly how it's explained in game]
I don't know anyone who assumed spirit power was a percent increase.
NEXT ALL RESPAWN TIME AND CHANCE OF DROP OF EVERY OBJECTIVE PLEASE, LIKE JUNGLE, CREEPS, VASE, RUNES, BOX,AND EVERYTHING THAT HAVE OBJECTIVE
Exceptionally lazy? Are you calling me out?!
Great video though. Really good stuff.
so if an ability scales with spirit power*2 and the ability does 50 damage and i have 50 spirit power the damage would now be 150? thank you for the video
So, my game doesn't show the scaling number. Am I missing something here?
Hold alt while hovering over the abilities. It sometimes doesn't work on the first attempt in a game (a bug) but just try again by letting go of alt and pressing it again.
