Rank: games and win rate together. Builds are ordered by the lead over games of the same length times games ÷ (games + 30,000), so a build with few games gets less credit for its lead. Number under each icon: win rate difference against items at the same price. Games in this build where the item was bought are compared with games of the same length (5-min steps), then the average of items at the same price is taken away. Expensive items are bought more in games with Souls to spare (winning ones), so only items at the same price are compared. Click an item for its effects and full stats. Win rates shown are for the build group, not for holding all 12 items of the final build at once.

Build styles 1,500 real games (last 3 days, normal games of 20+ min) grouped into 3 styles by where the build went · grouped by: items bought by 20 min · the numbers beside an item are its average purchase time and the share of that style owning it · deadlock-api.com

"New player pick" is the style with the highest win rate among those used in 15% or more of games. Win rates also reflect skill gaps, so within 2%p is about even. At first, buy the picked style in order; once comfortable, fit in counter items for the enemy comp.

1. Sleep Dagger39%

4. Bullet Dance11%

2. Smoke Bomb2%

Abilities

1. Sleep Dagger

Throw a dagger that damages and sleeps the target. Sleeping targets wake up shortly after being damaged. Throwing a Dagger does not break your invisibility. Sleep Dagger does not interrupt enemies' channeling abilities.

Against it: Damage wakes the target quickly, so shoot a sleeping ally to wake them

2. Smoke Bomb Radius 18m

Fade out of sight, becoming invisible and gaining sprint speed. Attacking removes invisibility, but using items does not. Close enemies can see through your invisibility.

Against it: Invisibility shows up close, so watch suspicious spots

3. Fixation

Shooting a target increases your bullet damage on that target. Gain one stack per bullet hit, three if the hit is a headshot.

Against it: Damage grows the longer you're hit, so break her fire with cover

4. Bullet Dance Radius 16m

Enter a flurry, firing your weapon at nearby enemies with perfect accuracy and added Bullet Damage.

Against it: Interrupt it with a stun or silence, and build bullet defense to survive

Gun

Haze's gun

Single shot · Ammo 25 · 9.5 bullets/sec · DPS 50 · full damage to 20m, minimum from 46m

Playing against

Poke her hard early to slow her growth
When Bullet Dance starts, interrupt it at once with a stun or silence
Invisibility shows up close, so keep an eye on your surroundings

Counter items

Metal Skin

Return Fire

Strengths

Fixation deals more damage the longer she shoots
Smoke Bomb makes approaching and escaping easy
Bullet Dance clears nearby enemies all at once

Weaknesses

Weak in early laning and before items
Bullet Dance is easily interrupted by stuns
Her invisibility shows up close

Game plan

Laning

Take last hits safely and avoid risky fights.

Mid game

Rotate through the jungle and waves to get weapon items fast.

Late game

Get behind enemies with Smoke Bomb and clean up fights with Bullet Dance.

Power spikes

Her laning is on the weak side. From the mid to late game, as weapon items stack up, Fixation and Bullet Dance make her firepower explode.

With them on your team

Burst down enemies Haze puts to sleep together in one go
Hold the lane for her early to buy Haze time to grow
