Power Spikes & Economy

When Calico actually spikes

Across tracked games Calico finishes on an average 41,649 net worth with a 3.27 KDA. That number tells you when Calico actually spikes: every item tier and ability upgrade on this page is ordered so the strongest win rate path lines up with that economy. Calico deals around 33,948 hero damage per match, so the build path below prioritises items that scale into that damage profile rather than pure survivability.

The highest win rate build path on Calico right now runs Extra Health (tier 1, 50.3% WR), Mystic Vulnerability (tier 2, 53.6% WR), Shadow Weave (tier 3, 54.1% WR), and Frenzy (tier 4, 61.0% WR). These picks carry the strongest individual win rates in their tier bracket across ranked matches, so stacking them in order gives you the cleanest data backed route. If your early game snowballs you can flex into offensive tier 3 and tier 4 items, otherwise the defensive options listed in the items tab hold the lead instead of forcing it.

Calico in the current Deadlock patch

Calico is holding a 48.9% win rate this patch and ranks in the B tier across the full hero pool. Over the last few weeks that number has stayed flat, so Calico is neither rising nor fading right now. Calico sits in the middle of the pack, which means match ups and draft context decide the game more than the raw pick does.
