## Strategy

Deadshot can largely be played straightforwardly despite his passive, as it can be hard to place a distance-proffered damage bonus on top of a combo bonus. He still has some selling points inherent in his attack S2 and S3, as they feature a multitude of hits that are all fully ranged and can all KO.

Unsurprisingly, he tends to work best when paired alongside his suicide squad teammates. Not only can he boost their specials with his rifle, but he can benefit from the bonuses of Harley and Enchantress.

Utilising his passive *Sniper*, you can gain extra damage when activating his super move from afar. This can be successfully carried out if the opponent is either stunned or frozen in place so that Deadshot is able to place space between him and his adversary. You can also utilise his other passive *Suppressive Fire* to disable the enemy's movement, however, this can be difficult to achieve due to the AI's nature of jumping.

## Stat Construction

Suicide Squad Deadshot seems to have a low damage stat, which has implications for his innate damage boosts. As such it is advisable to primarily increase his attack/damage with gear chance effects, which will give him a set amount of damage as opposed to a percentage of his relatively low base damage (as via Talents).

## Trivia

* Suicide Squad Deadshot was originally called *Marksman* Deadshot, but was refactored with addition of Suicide Squad Harley Quinn refactored into a Legendary in the game.
