Seven Abilities
Lightning Ball
Deadlock Hero Seven: Lightning Ball
Seven's first ability is Lightning Ball. The hero unleashes a lightning ball that travels in a straight line, damaging all enemy targets in its path.

Once it reaches an enemy, the Lightning Ball slows down and deals even more damage. It is perfect for starting a fight or catching up to a fleeing enemy.
Static Charge
Deadlock Hero Seven: Static Charge
This ability applies a static charge to the enemy, which then explodes after a few seconds, stunning the enemy and causing damage to nearby targets.
This ability is highly effective for initiating a team fight or catching up with an opponent.

Power Surge
Deadlock Hero Seven: Power Surge
Power Surge enables bullets to inflict shock damage. During this ability, the shock effect from the bullets spreads to nearby targets, allowing Seven to deal massive AOE damage.
Deadlock Hero Seven: Power Surge
This skill also allows you to release attacks more quickly and to harass enemy heroes by using creeps.
Storm Cloud
Deadlock Hero Seven: Storm Cloud
Seven summons a Storm Cloud that inflicts heavy damage on all enemies within its range. The longer enemies remain in the Storm Cloud, the more damage they sustain.
Deadlock Hero Seven: Storm Cloud
This ability is most effective when used during team fights with multiple enemy heroes nearby.
Seven Skill Build
When leveling up as Seven, follow this sequence:
Start by leveling up Lightning Ball to zone enemy heroes during the laning stage. Then, prioritize Power Surge and upgrade it to deal more damage. After that, focus on leveling up Lightning Ball again to gain another charge. Next, max out the third skill, Power Surge. Then, allocate one point each to Storm Cloud Ultimate and Static Charge to keep up with opponents. Finally, prioritize leveling up Lightning Ball, Static Charge, and the ultimate ability last.
We have opted to utilize this build because the primary damage will not come from the Storm Cloud request but rather from the assistance of the third Power Surge ability.

With the first 500 souls earned, we should buy Ammo Scavenger to convert every soul into extra ammo and spiritual power, allowing us to dominate the laning stage.

After buying Enduring Spirit and Extra Spirit to get lifesteal and spiritual power.
