We love this Seven build in Deadlock and think you will, too.
Seven’s ultimate is one of the best in all of Deadlock, so why not build around it? That was our thought with this Unstoppable Ultimate build that can turn you into a monster in the late game thanks to some great Spirit DPS and cooldown reduction.

Seven abilities and upgrades
Seven’s Storm Cloud is what this build is centered around, but all of these abilities will benefit from the Spirit items you can get from the shop.
- Lightning Ball: Shoot a ball of lightning that travels in a straight line. Does damage to all targets in its radius. Slows down when damaging enemies and stops if it hits the world.
- Static Charge: Apply a charge to a target enemy hero. After a short duration, the static charge stuns and damages enemies within the radius.
- Power Surge: Power up your weapon with a shock effect, making your bullets proc shock damage on your target. This shock damage bounces to enemies near your target. Occurs once per burst shot.
- Storm Cloud: Channel a storm cloud around you that expands over 3 seconds and damages all enemies within its radius. Enemies do not take damage when they are out of the line of sight.
