The crossover Deadlock needs

Today's update adds four new heroes to matchmaking: Holliday, Vyper, Calico, and The Magnificent Sinclair.

Expanding our roster is one of our major goals in 2025. While some of these characters have a much higher degree of temporary art than usual, we are excited to see how they perform on the battlefield. 

So who are the new faces you’ll be seeing on the streets of New York?
\

HOLLIDAY

Armed with an heirloom revolver and a spirit lasso, Holliday's investigations have led her to New York... and when she finds the killer she's looking for she's bringing him in dead, not alive.
\

VYPER

Did you know that when you slide your gun has infinite ammo? Vyper does. That’s why you’ll find her sliding around the battlefield spraying lead and poison.
\

THE MAGNIFICENT SINCLAIR

Mystify your rivals with combat tricks so vexing that they won’t believe their eyes! Summon a spectral assistant, polymorph foes into rabbits, and turn the enemies own abilities against them! Impossible? Not for THE MAGNIFICENT SINCLAIR…
\

CALICO

A feared assassin; Calico uses the shadows to her advantage, weaving in and out of combat to hunt down her enemies one by one. More importantly, you can possess her sphinx Ava and run around as a cat.


This update also marks the conclusion of the Winter Event. Players who participated in it will have a record of their achievements on their profile page.

Found in the discord fanart channel.

• Tier: 1
• Cost:  500
• +45 Bonus Health
• +3 Spirit Power
• Is component of: Healing Nova

• Passive: Grant Regen and Sprint Speed to the target. Gets dispelled if you take damage from enemy players or objectives. Can be self-cast.
• 370 Total HP Regen
• +2 m/s Sprint Speed (conditional)
• 19s Regen Duration
• 30m Cast Range
• Cooldown: 64s

Side Note: I’m almost certain camps and minions don’t dispel this think it’s just the towers.

I used to take this over regen every time I had a hard lane but I’ve been taking regen more recently. Having to basically stay out of sight from the other team takes you out of the fight a bit too much in my opinion so I’d rather take regen and play more cautiously but have the continuous healing up.

Exception is on support ivy since I’ll upgrade it to healing nova but outside of support players I think regen is usually the better move.
