Lane Guardians (Tier 1)Objective Stats
Lane Guardians are the first-tier defensive objectives in Deadlock, standing as the initial barrier in each of the four lanes. With 5,500 HP and -25% damage resistance against players, Guardians are designed to be taken down in the early-to-mid game with the help of trooper waves. Destroying a Guardian opens the lane for deeper pushes toward the Walker and rewards your team with souls. Guardians gain damage resistance over time, so early pressure is advantageous. Understanding Guardian timing and health thresholds helps you know when to commit to a push versus farming troopers.

Not all damage types are equally effective against this objective. The bars below show how much of your bullet and spirit damage actually gets through after accounting for built-in damage reductions and armor. Use this to choose the right hero and damage type for your objective pushes — spirit abilities often bypass bullet-specific defenses, while weapon damage benefits from NPC-specific item bonuses like Monster Rounds.
These items provide specific bonuses against NPC units and objectives, making them the most efficient purchases for accelerating objective damage. Monster Rounds is the most cost-effective early investment for any hero that plans to push structures, while Cultist Sacrifice offers the highest late-game value with bonus souls and massive NPC damage bonuses. Consider picking up at least one of these items when your team is prioritizing objective pressure.
