Enduring SpeedEnduring Speed Counter Guide
Enduring Speed helps you reclaim distance against slows and persistent chases. The speed and slow resistance matter most when they let you leave an enemy's preferred range, break an exposed angle, or arrive at cover before another trade.
How to Use Enduring Speed
Who should buy Enduring Speed?
Players losing room to reposition because slows keep extending the enemy's preferred trade.
When to activate or apply it
Use the mobility and slow resistance to break the beam or chase angle and reach cover. Reposition before the next exchange rather than continuing it in the same spot.
Against Kelvin: Use slow resistance and movement to reach cover or break the beam angle. Keep a separate answer ready if hard control, rather than slowing, is the problem.
Watch out for
Slow resistance does not remove every control effect or disable the pursuer. A catch or repeated engage may need another answer.
When to Buy Enduring Speed in Deadlock
Buy it when slows keep turning manageable poke into extended damage, or rotations leave you vulnerable to a chase. It fits best when better movement solves the problem before hard control lands.

Alternatives & Comparisons
Extra Stamina
Extra Stamina gives you more movement decisions in a fight. An additional dash or air movement option can be the difference between dodging a readable threat and having nothing left after spending stamina to farm or trade.

Fleetfoot
Fleetfoot helps you manage fighting distance with an active speed boost. It suits heroes who want to keep pressure on a target while kiting away from close-range threats, or quickly change position before the next damaging exchange.

Warp Stone
Warp Stone gives you an immediate position change and bullet resistance, helping escape a close threat or committed damage angle. Pick a destination that removes follow-up pressure; teleporting within the same danger wastes much of the opportunity.
