Deadlock Mid Boss guide: How to kill, buffs, and more

One of the most important aspects of the mid-game in Deadlock is knowing when and how to kill the game's Mid Boss, who appears in the middle of the map. This boss gives your team important buffs and can swing the momentum of a game in your favor.

So, for starters, you will need to be able to kill the Mid Boss in Deadlock before claiming any rewards. To do so, you'll need multiple members of your team together doing sustained damage once it has summoned into the server. If it is earlier in the game, you'll likely need four to six players to reliably slay the green blob.

You need multiple players due to the boss's shield, which is a yellow bar that constantly fills back up and will prevent its health bar from going down when filled. This is where the importance of the sustained damage comes into play. Just be careful of the sustained damage it does and use the natural cover in the pit to get rid of the aggro.

Killing the Mid Boss and successfully claiming its shard with a charged melee will grant you the following buffs:

Getting these buffs can make a huge difference in a match, especially if you are in the process of snowballing towards a victory, so make sure to keep an eye on your mini-map and communicate with your team about the Mid Boss. Just be careful because the enemy team can come in at the last second and steal the shard, so make sure they are accounted for.
