In an exciting development for fans of the game Deadlock, a character named Rem has emerged victorious in the community vote for the upcoming Old Gods, New Blood update. Players have expressed joy regarding this choice, which marks a significant addition to the game.
Meet Rem: The New Character in Deadlock
Rem is described as an “accidental stowaway from the world of dreams.” He finds himself in a vibrant city, where he will be a support character, leveraging unique abilities to assist teammates. His first ability, Pillow Toss, launches a projectile that inflicts 75 damage while slowing opponents’ movement speed by 45%. This ability also reduces the cooldown for Rem’s other skills when it hits.
Abilities Overview
- Pillow Toss: A projectile attack dealing 75 damage and reducing move speed by 45%.
- Tag Along: Allows Rem to nap next to an ally, healing both players. Within a 23m range, it restores 15% of missing health instantly and provides 28 health per second during the 40-second cooldown.
- Lil Helpers: Rem can summon smaller helpers to perform tasks, offering benefits like 15% spirit resist or healing while following allies. These helpers boost damage and healing for troopers as well.
- Naptime (Ultimate): An area-of-effect attack that casts sleepiness, slowing enemies and dealing 120 damage plus an additional 100 sleep damage within a 24m radius. This ability can affect players through walls.
Community Reactions and Future Gameplay
The decision to add Rem has resulted in mixed responses from the community. Many players are thrilled about his introduction, viewing him as a formidable addition to gameplay. Some are already joking about the challenges posed by Rem’s powerful capabilities, especially in late-game scenarios where his speed, size, and healing attributes come into play.
As players prepare for Rem’s entrance into Deadlock, they anticipate inventive strategies and builds to maximize his potential. While some may humorously question the impact of Rem’s abilities, overall excitement about his role in the game thrives.
