Check Deadlock ability-upgrade effects with Tab

With spendable ability points and the upgrade grid visible, the Tab screen can show the next upgrade effect. Availability depends on enabled elements and screen or HUD recognition.

Steps

  1. Enable the ability display in Settings and make sure F10 has not hidden the overlay.
  2. When points are available, press Tab to show the upgrade grid. Check that the game UI and explanation refer to the same ability and tier.
  3. Use the hero page to compare full ability descriptions.

When no explanation appears

No label may appear when points are unavailable or the grid is obscured. If text conflicts with the game, check the game UI and report the patch, hero and screen involved.
