With only a 3-2 margin based on 14 matches analyzed, this Neon vs Deadlock matchup remains contestable for both sides.

1.12Deadlock
Neon holds a slight KDA edge in this matchup, recording 1.34 compared to Deadlock's 1.12.

Neon deals 21.1 more damage per round on average, indicating absolute dominance in direct combat exchanges. This level of disparity suggests Neon's kit, typical playstyle, or positioning patterns give them massive advantages in dealing damage while Deadlock struggles to even trade effectively. Deadlock players should treat Neon as a must-avoid duel and focus entirely on non-combat contributions or utility-based damage.
HS %
21.1%Neon
34.3%Deadlock
The headshot percentage disparity between Deadlock and Neon is substantial: 34.3% compared to 21.1%, a 13.2 point difference. Deadlock consistently displays far superior aim precision in this matchup, turning potential trades into clean kills and surviving encounters that would kill less accurate players. For Neon, challenging Deadlock in a fair aim duel is statistically unwise. Success requires creating unfair fights — off-angles, utility combinations, multi-person pressure — where Deadlock's aim advantage cannot fully manifest.

Attack Side Breakdown
The attack-side performance gap between Neon and Deadlock is dramatic: 54.7% versus 39.3%, a commanding 15.3 percentage point advantage. Neon dominates offensive scenarios in this matchup to a degree that requires Deadlock to fundamentally change their approach to attack-side play.
Our analysis of 14 competitive matches reveals Neon has overwhelming attack-side superiority in every measurable category. Site executions, entry success, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all massively favor Neon. This isn't a gap that Deadlock can overcome through practice or "playing better" — it's a structural matchup disadvantage. Deadlock teams must build their entire attack strategy around protecting Deadlock from direct Neon engagement: give Deadlock lurk roles, put them in trade positions rather than entry, and design executes where Deadlock's weaknesses are covered by teammate utility.
Under no circumstances should Deadlock take entry duels against Neon. The 15.3% attack gap makes entry fragging against Neon one of the lowest-percentage plays in Valorant. Deadlock must exclusively play support roles on attack: flash for teammates, smoke for executes, trade after entries, or create map pressure through lurks that don't involve Neon confrontation. Neon should actively hunt Deadlock entries, knowing the statistical advantage is overwhelming.
Neon has favorable matchups against 15 agents and unfavorable matchups against 12 agents in Valorant. Neon's strongest matchup is against Deadlock with a 85.7% win rate. The most challenging matchup is Sage at 28.0% win rate. Use the table below to find specific matchup details and performance metrics.

Deadlock's post-plant conversion rate against Neon is catastrophic. The data shows Deadlock fails to hold spike plants at a dramatically higher rate than Neon. Never leave Deadlock alone post-plant — they need constant teammate support, crossfire setups, and utility coordination to have any chance of winning these scenarios. Consider not planting at all if Deadlock is the only survivor. Neon should play extremely confidently in post-plants, knowing Deadlock struggles to convert even favorable positions.
Defense Side Breakdown
The defensive disparity between Neon and Deadlock is substantial: 60.7% versus 45.3%, a 15.3 point chasm. Neon absolutely dominates CT side in this matchup — their site holds are significantly harder to break, their retake contributions more impactful, and their defensive utility more effective at every level.
Deadlock cannot be trusted with traditional site anchor responsibilities against Neon. The 15.3% defensive gap is too large to overcome through positioning or individual skill. Teams must protect Deadlock: pair them with multiple teammates, give them off-site lurk positions, or have them rotate immediately when Neon's presence is identified on their site. Neon should aggressively anchor the most difficult sites on any map, knowing their defensive capability is overwhelming.
Deadlock should avoid retake scenarios against Neon entirely when possible. The data from 14 matches shows Deadlock's retake conversion rate against Neon is dramatically lower than average. If Deadlock must retake, require 3+ player numbers advantage and full utility coordination. Neon should play post-plant positions knowing Deadlock lacks the capability to effectively contest them. In clutch scenarios, Neon wins at overwhelming rates.
Economy decisions for Deadlock must account for their defensive inadequacy. Force buying against Neon is essentially throwing away credits — the defensive gap makes partial buys nearly unwinnable. Deadlock should always advocate for full saves, building toward rounds where team utility can compensate for their individual defensive weakness. Neon can confidently force and half-buy, knowing their defensive advantages persist across all economy states.
Overall Side Analysis
Neon demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (54.7%) and defense (60.7%), comprehensively outperforming Deadlock across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 14 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Neon holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Deadlock's disadvantage in this matchup. Neon outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Deadlock into Neon, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Deadlock's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Deadlock in isolated Neon encounters.
For ranked climbing, avoid playing Deadlock when you expect to face Neon frequently. The 30.7 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Neon is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Neon decisively wins the Neon vs Deadlock matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Neon has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Deadlock players facing Neon should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.
Duelist vs Sentinel Dynamics
The Duelist (Neon) vs Sentinel (Deadlock) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Neon's Duelist abilities serve different purposes than Deadlock's Sentinel kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Duelist abilities interact with Sentinel counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Neon's Duelist toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Deadlock's Sentinel kit counters others. The Neon advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
