Getting caught with low health in this MOBA hero shooter can quickly turn the tide against you, and that means you’re in trouble. To keep farming Souls in your lane or survive a fight, you need to restore your health by healing. It might seem confusing and complicated at first, but I assure you it’s a simple mechanic. Let’s break down every way you can restore health and how to heal in Deadlock.

1. Getting Healed by Banner Trooper

Every 25 seconds, each lane spawns a Banner Trooper that can heal allies. Standing close to these friendly units gives you a 40 HP heal every six seconds. While it’s not a lot, this healing can give you the edge you need during early lane fights. The healing even doubles to 80 HP once a Tower Guardian falls!
2. Buy Healing Items at the Curiosity Shop
The first goal of the game is to farm Souls effectively, so you can start buying Vitality items from the Curiosity Shop. The shop offers several powerful healing options:

Category | Item Name | Cost (Souls) | Effect |
Active Healing Items | ![]() Healing Rite | 500 | Heals 370 HP over 17 seconds and grants a speed boost, ideal for quick escapes. |
![]() Healing Nova | 1,250 | Heals 260 HP to all nearby allies, making it great for team fights. | |
![]() Restorative Locket | 1,250 | Stores enemy ability charges and converts them into healing, 32 HP/stack. | |
![]() Rescue Beam | 3,000 | Heals you and an ally for 30% of max HP, a premium team sustain option. | |
Passive Health Items | ![]() Extra Regen | 500 | Increases Health Regeneration by 2.8. |
![]() Healing Booster | 1,250 | Provides 2 Health Regeneration. | |
![]() Fortitude | 3,500 | Restores 4% of max HP when out of combat. |
3. Breaking Golden Statues
Golden Statues mainly give stat buffs, but they can also increase Max Health. These small gold objects spawn around the map after 3 minutes into the match. Breaking one has a 50% chance to drop a permanent buff, which might include more Max Health:

Time Elapsed in Match | Health |
3-10 Minutes | +20 Max Health |
10-30 Minutes | +30 Max Health |
30+ Minutes | +40 Max Health |
The statues respawn every 3 minutes after being broken, so make sure to check their locations regularly. While not direct healing, the increased max health pool can give you more sustain in fights and make your other healing sources more effective.
4. Character-Specific Healing
There are many characters you can use in Deadlock, and some of them have skills that can heal you or your teammates. These characters are designed to help keep everyone alive, either as a support or a tank:

Deadlock Hero | Details |
Abrams | Can drain health from enemies with Siphon Life. |
Bebop and Mo & Krill | Enjoys the highest natural health regeneration. |
Dynamo | Creates a healing circle that benefits nearby allies. |
Lady Geist | Attaches a string to enemies to steal their health. |
McGinnis | Her Medicinal Specter provides constant healing in an area. |
Viscous | Can transform allies into cubes that heal while transformed. |
Warden | Ultimate ability drains life from enemies. |
5. Lifesteal
In MOBA games, lifesteal is one of the most important aspects of gameplay. It can significantly enhance a character’s survivability and become even more deadly in team fights. Take Paradox, for example, her high fire rate makes lifesteal her best friend.

But again, you need to buy some items from the Curiosity Shop to be able to use these abilities:
Item Name | Cost | Effect | Recommended Hero |
![]() Bullet Lifesteal | 1,250 | Heals increased 26%-28% when landing shots. | • Haze • Wraith |
![]() Spirit Lifesteal | 1,250 | Triggers on ability damage with 22% lifesteal. | • Seven • Shiv |
![]() Melee Lifesteal | 500 | Activates on close-range attacks. | • Abrams • Yamato |
![]() Leech | 7,250 | Provides huge Spirit and Bullet lifesteal. | • Lady Geist • Infernus • Seven |
![]() Siphon Bullets | 6,000 | Bullets temporarily steal maximum HP from enemies. | • Paradox |
![]() Vampiric Burst | 6,000 | Bullet Lifesteal for 80%. | • Paradox |
Choose your lifesteal type based on your hero’s primary damage style. For example, if you’re playing an ability-heavy hero, Spirit Lifesteal is your best bet.
6. Retreat to Base
The most direct way to heal in Deadlock is actually by heading back to your base using the Transit line. While this gives you a full heal, be careful with the timing. Because while you go back, your lane partner will be vulnerable to a 2×1 situation, and enemies might push your Guardian while you are gone. Try to clear the lane or get a kill first before retreating to base and using the Zip Line Boost to return faster. Use this as a last resort since it takes time and could make you lose your lane.

The key to staying alive in Deadlock isn’t just about healing, it’s about knowing when to use each healing option. Mix and match these methods based on your situation, and you’ll find yourself surviving longer and contributing more to your team’s success.
