How to play Vindicta
1Crow Familiar
2Stake
3AssassinateYour combo: Soften them with Crow Familiar (bleed and resist shred), tether them in place with Stake (9m), then finish with Assassinate.
Don’t waste: Assassinate has 2 charges. Once both are spent you have no long-range finisher until they recharge.
Edge: Assassinate does bonus damage under half health, and kills give you extra weapon damage.
From community hero guides, Oct 2026 patches, checked against deadlock.wiki. The same combo from the other side is on how to counter Vindicta.
Your kit

Throw a stake that tethers enemies to the location where the stake lands. Enemy movement is restricted to the length of the tether.

Leap into the air and fly. While in flight your weapon deals bonus spirit damage and your items have increased range.

Your crow familiar deals impact damage, reduces their bullet resist and applies a bleed that deals damage based on the target's current health.

Use your scoped rifle to fire a powerful shot over long distances. Deal only partial damage until fully charged after 1.0s of being scoped. Does bonus damage to enemies with less than 50% health remaining. Landing a killing blow on a player with Assassinate grants you bonus weapon damage.
