Deadlockle Classic guide
A guide to the seven attribute grid: what each tile reports, how the ↑/↓ arrows work, and when to spend a hint.
How Classic mode works
Type any Deadlock hero into the search box. The grid lights up with seven attribute tiles: Role, Gun, Damage, Nature, Gender, HP, and Speed. Five are exact green-or-red matches; HP and Speed return amber when within range and red when outside it. There is no guess limit.
Strategy
- 01
Open with a hero you know well
Five of the seven tiles (Role, Gun, Damage, Nature, Gender) come back as exact green/red. The first guess is mostly an elimination probe. Pick a hero whose attributes you can recall confidently.
- 02
Pivot on what's still red
After the first guess greens a few tiles, your next pick should specifically differ on the red ones. Triangulate the unsolved attributes; minor variations on the same hero archetype waste guesses.
- 03
Cash in hints at 5 and 10 guesses
At those thresholds you can opt in to a hint that reveals one random unsolved attribute. Two per puzzle, and it's a confirmation prompt, never accidental.
Tips
- No guess limit and no time limit. This is a daily, not a sprint.
- Comparisons persist across the day. Refresh, come back later, the board is intact.
- On mobile the seven tiles wrap onto two rows.
