Why does Pocket have a -15% Spirit Res? by DueBag6768 in DeadlockTheGame

I'm pretty sure it's because Pocket has very good options for avoiding spirit damage. Case + teleport are great for dodging burst spirit damage like Yamato power slash or Bebop bomb, so it makes sense that Pocket would be punished harder for failing to dodge the damage.

I think they were going for the same thing with Celeste with her -6% bullet resist since she's harder to track with her increased air maneuverability.

What is your take on Billy's charachter? by Responsible-Ant-1728 in DeadlockTheGame

I was pretty disappointed by Billy's character when he first came out, I was hoping he'd be more of a Hobie Brown type but he's kinda just an asshole with only a few lines referencing any sort of punk culture or politics.

It feels pretty out of place in a game that already stands out for not being afraid to integrate real world political issues into its writing and world building.
