Deadman Danny gets a broad power boost in Deadlock’s Oct. 14 update, one day after he became playable. His health, gun damage, and several ability values rise, while Baba loses defensive strength and has multiple cooldowns extended.

Valve’s Oct. 14 update notes also reduce Radiant Regeneration’s Spirit scaling and shorten the duration of Baba’s Threadsap in Street Brawl. Danny’s gains cover his base stats, Chimera Mk1, Strix Salvo, and Close the Deal. Baba’s changes reach her resistance, defensive brew, and airborne melee movement.
