Kelvin

Kelvin

An ice controller who changes pathing, slows tempo, and gives his team better terrain to fight in.

Kelvin is less about raw burst and more about controlling where the fight happens and how safely his team can stand in it.

Roles: Explorer Difficulty: 2/5

Overview

Kelvin is a playable hero in Deadlock.

Quick Read

  • Mobility is more measured, so entry pathing and positioning cost matter more.
  • Base durability is lighter, so the hero depends more on timing, angle, or reset tools.
  • Ammo is tighter, so the hero benefits more from selective, high-value windows.
