Haze is one of the purest auto-attack carries in Deadlock. Almost all of her power is tied to her gun and to Weapon-category items, while her abilities simply amplify that foundation. If you enjoy walking out of fights with a pile of kills earned through fire rate and stacking damage, Haze is built for exactly that style. In this guide we cover how to build her, where to spend your souls, and how to survive long enough to reach your late-game ceiling.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Haze's biggest asset is scaling. By the late game she becomes a machine gun that melts even tanky targets in a couple of seconds. Fixation grants ramping damage as you keep firing at a single target, so every drawn-out exchange works in your favor. The weakness is obvious: Haze's early game is fragile. She has low health and no built-in escape besides Smoke Bomb, and she is easy to pressure in lane before her key items come online. That is why you should play the early phase carefully, focusing on farming souls and securing safe last hits.

Abilities and How to Use Them

Fixation is your main source of damage. Try to keep your crosshair on a single target as long as possible so the stacks don't reset — this is what turns ordinary bullets into a deadly stream. Smoke Bomb is both an escape and an aggression tool. Inside the smoke you become invisible, letting you break away from a chase, reposition, or flank an enemy for a surprise focus. The Bullet Dance ultimate locks Haze in place and fires at every enemy around her — it is enormous teamfight damage, but you are vulnerable and immobile while it channels.

Ultimate Timing

Don't open Bullet Dance at the start of a fight while enemies are at full health and have their crowd control ready. The ideal moment is once the enemy's main control has been spent and your team has tied down their key heroes in combat. It is best to activate the ult from smoke or around a corner so the first seconds of the channel go unpunished. If the enemy team has interrupts or strong focus, hold Smoke Bomb as insurance specifically for your ultimate.

Item Build and Buy Order

Haze's core is Weapon items. Early on, buy cheap fire-rate and ammo upgrades so you can farm comfortably and win the first exchanges. By the mid game you must invest in at least one survivability item — armor or extra health — otherwise you'll be killed before you can deal your damage. Closer to the late game, build the expensive crit, attack-speed, and penetration items that turn Fixation into a true killing machine. Don't forget active items like Metal Skin: they often save your life under focus and let you channel Bullet Dance all the way through.

Conclusion

Haze rewards patient players. Survive the early stage carefully, pick up your key Weapon items, keep Fixation active as long as you can, and use Smoke Bomb not just to escape but to engage. Do that, and by the late game you'll become the biggest threat on the map — able to single-handedly decide the outcome of a teamfight.
