This Deadlock Holliday build features some explosive barrels.
Holliday is among the six heroes added to Deadlock in October 2024 and one that has a lot of versatility in how you build throughout the game. In this Holliday build, we are seeking to get the most value out of her lethal Crackshot in the early game, but the main thrust of the build is in scaling her Powder Keg barrels through Spirit.

Holliday has the luxury of having both a very powerful weapon with boosted headshot damage and a strong AoE Spirit explosion in her Powder Keg ability. These two things can make for a balanced one-two punch throughout a game and are the main features of this build.

Crackshot is your best friend in the early game, so start with some Wespon items.
Mid game
In the mid game, we focus on initial Spirit scaling and suvivability
Late game
Look for luxury Weapon items and even more Powder Keg scaling.

Scale as you need to in this phase as your ultimate starts to become deadly.

The Holliday build scales early with Crackshot and late with Powder Keg. We have not found her ultimate to be overly strong, so we don’t upgrade it until the late game.
