FleetfootFleetfoot Counter Guide
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.
How to Use Fleetfoot
Who should buy Fleetfoot?
Players who benefit from kiting and need room to move while keeping pressure on a target.
When to activate or apply it
Use the mobility to maintain a useful fighting distance or move out of the opponent's preferred range before taking the next trade.
Watch out for
Movement helps only when it changes the angle or distance. It does not replace a cleanse or a protection window after an unavoidable catch.
When to Buy Fleetfoot in Deadlock
Consider it when keeping the right distance would let your build deal damage safely. Buy for a repeatable kiting problem; a movement active has less value if the real issue is a debuff or hard-control catch.

Alternatives & Comparisons
Enduring Speed
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.

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.

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.
