Many people wish to relive their glory days. In Deadlock, Lady Jeanne Geist was once the Toast of the Town in High Society. Now, however, she can only reminisce as a frail woman in a nursing home. That is until one day, a powerful spirit named the Oathkeeper offered her a chance to reclaim her youth in exchange for draining the essence of the living.

How To Play Lady Geist
Due to her high health pool and high damage abilities, Lady Geist is a perfect 1v1 character. Despite its low rate of fire, her revolver has excellent range and accuracy.
Use precise shots at floating orbs to steal and secure souls from fallen minions.
At the start of the match, try to deal early damage to the enemy laner and minions using the Essence Bomb ability. This will allow you to gain an advantage in the lane to farm for souls. Once you’ve unlocked your other abilities, you can begin initiating more fights with the enemy laner.
In the late game, enemies will get stronger and generally take more time to kill. Pairing up with another ally to prevent long-drawn-out engagements will substantially increase Lady Geist's overall effectiveness.
- Initiate with Essence Bomb to deal high damage to both enemies and minions.
- Throw multiple Malice daggers at an enemy to slow and weaken them.
- Use Life Drain to siphon enemy health during close engagements.
- When you are nearing death/very low on health, use Soul Exchange to turn the tide in your favor.
While Lady Geist is very good for 1v1 scenarios in the early game, she can be easily overwhelmed if there is another enemy nearby.

Explanation
Early Game
Hollow Point Ward, Restorative Shot, High-Velocity Mag, Enduring Spirit, Extra Regen, Sprint Boots, Mystic Burst, Mystic Reach

Ability Buffers: Improved Cooldown, Improved Burst, Suppressor, Mystic Slow

In the late game, maximize your abilities' reach, duration, and damage output. Soul Exchange is especially important as the range increase and cooldown reduction will greatly boost its effectiveness.
