Keep digging with the rest of the Deadlock meta: full item tier list, in-game shop layout, community builds, hero tier list and the patch behind this win rate.
Lifestrike delivers 125 bonus health, 16% melee damage, and 2.5s slow duration. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.
Lifestrike performs strongest on Ivy (54.8% WR across 13,583 games), McGinnis (51.5% WR across 204 games), and Victor (51.4% WR across 2,207 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.
In terms of raw pickup volume, Lifestrike shows up most on Billy (298,252 games), Silver (241,645 games), and Calico (179,421 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.
Lifestrike requires Melee Lifesteal as components, with a combined component cost of 800 souls before you factor in the upgrade fee.
Lifestrike sits at a 48.2% win rate and has barely moved over the last few weeks, which means the item is at its steady state pick rate in the current patch.
Lifestrike peaks in the Eternus bracket at 49.8% and drops to 48.0% in Emissary. The 1.8 percentage point gap suggests the item rewards coordination or mechanical execution that only higher ranks consistently deliver.
