Haze Build and Counters in Deadlock (Updated November 2026)

Haze item build

Items grouped by when they are usually bought, with the share of games where the hero buys them and the win rate with the item.

Haze ability order

Haze laning phase

Lanes are 2 on 2. The number is the soul lead of the Haze duo at 15 minutes against this opponent, below it the lead expected from the strength of both heroes. Only lanes clearly off the expected value are shown, across all ranks.

Haze counters and synergies

The percentage is the win rate of Haze against the enemy or together with the teammate. The lists show pairs where it is above or below what the strength of both heroes predicts, so a teammate of a weak hero can show less than 50%. Pairs with at least 100 matches are counted. The average win rate of Haze is 51.9%, compare the percentages in the lists with it.

Haze story

The Occult Security and Investigation Commission is a black box government organization that makes the CIA look transparent. It falls on the men, women, and entities of the OSIC to keep the country safe from sinister forces that are beyond the capabilities of local law enforcement. As a member of the notorious Sandman Division, Haze is routinely tasked with infiltrating the dreams of persons of interest, to assess their threat level, and if needed... to put them to sleep.
