How to play Rem

Rem is a fairly straightforward hero to master, but she struggles when fighting up close. To play her effectively, focus on strategic plays like stealing buffs from enemies and helping your teammates from a safe distance, as she’s vulnerable when directly attacked.

Okay, so I’ve been playing Rem, and here’s what I’ve learned: you really need to be smart about what you buy. Focus on being a support player – that’s where she shines. I spend most of my time keeping my teammates healed up and watching for anyone who’s taking a beating. I also make sure the squishier players always have a shield up. Honestly, if I just stick to supporting the team, things usually go pretty smoothly. Just try to avoid getting right into the thick of the fighting, because Rem isn’t built for that.

Is Rem good in Deadlock?

Rem is a decent character in Deadlock, but she’s not one of the best, placing her in the D tier of our character rankings.

Even though his ranking isn’t high, he excels at disrupting the enemy team and has excellent awareness of the map, particularly when shielding his teammates. While he’s a strong support player, he struggles with quick movement and can’t hold his own in a direct fight. This makes him an easy target for opponents.

Regardless, he has a high skill floor and can be easy to survive with, as long as you stay hidden.
