Solomon hero added to Deadlock in City Never Sleeps update

Valve has introduced a new hero named Solomon to the game Deadlock as part of the ‘City Never Sleeps’ update. Solomon features a chess-themed ability kit designed around movement, protection, and crowd control.

His abilities include Setup Bishop, which creates diagonal squares that deal Spirit damage and slow enemies; Kingside Knight, which provides allies with a barrier and bonus stamina; Rook Battery, which launches bouncing rooks to immobilize targets; and Develop Queen, which deals area damage and can stun or execute low-health enemies. The character's gameplay emphasizes careful positioning and timing to maximize the impact of his various chess-inspired pieces.
