Solomon vs Abrams

Do

• Plan for Inhibitor Inhibitor 6,400 souls Tier 4ArmorPassive +150 Bonus Health +5s Debuff Duration -30% Damage Penalty +10% Weapon Damage -40% Incoming Healing -40% Incoming Healing — know which tier it sits in so you are not improvising at the shop.
• Know what Shoulder Charge Shoulder Charge 1.4s Duration33s Cooldown Abrams barrels forward, scooping up any hero he contacts and carrying them along. Crowd Control Stun on wall impact only. Damage 30 base impact damage (deadlock.one). Mobility Forward charge with a speed bonus after connecting with a hero. 1 applies a 32% move-speed slow for 3s, giving the ability value even when no wall is… 2 +0.8s wall-slam stun duration 5 roughly -18s cooldown and +1.5 weapon damage for 6s after hitting a hero looks like. It is the cooldown this lane revolves around.

Avoid

• Walking to lane on the same path every wave against a hero with Abrams's engage range.

Do

• His shotgun falls off hard past 17m, so a disciplined long-range laner simply never lets him get value from his weapon
• He has no ranged wave clear and pushes slowly, which makes him vulnerable to being rotated on
• A bishop parked in lane slides through both laners for 70 damage and a slow every few seconds

Avoid

• Siphon Life Siphon Life 4s Duration42s Cooldown Abrams pulls health out of every enemy standing near him, ticking spirit damage over a short window and converting a share of that damage back into his own health.

Do

• Their first real spike is ult unlock — respect it from that point, not before.
• Your spike is ult unlock: Develop Queen Develop Queen 30m Range210s Cooldown Solomon summons a queen that crashes down on an area for spirit damage. Crowd Control 1.25s stun from the lines, plus a 15% slow for 1.5s (30% at Tier 2). Damage 120 spirit damage (+1.4 per Spirit) on the crash and again on the lines. Mobility The queen leaps up to 16m per move, with 5s between moves; 1 -40s cooldown 2 +15% slow, and the lines checkmate heroes below 200 health, executing them 5 +2 moves and +1 square range adds 120-damage crashes and Stun lines that he can move twice more

Avoid

• Taking an even fight against Abrams on their spike timing when you could take the same fight ten minutes later on yours.

Do

• Watch for Seismic Impact Seismic Impact 215s Cooldown Abrams launches high into the air and then crashes down at a chosen point, damaging and stunning everyone in the impact zone.

  The one cooldown worth tracking on its own timer: AoE Stun on landing.

  • Watch for the airborne silhouette and the ground marker and simply walk out; the Stun only lands in the marked circle
  • Spread out before objectives so one Seismic Impact cannot catch two or three heroes
  • Before he has Tier 3 Unstoppable Unstoppable 6,400 souls Tier 4ArmorInstantCast +60s Cooldown +5.5s Duration +125 Bonus Health +25% Debuff Resist Builds from Debuff Reducer , hold a Stun for his descent to cancel the landing entirely

  The gap-close arrives with control attached — Stun on wall impact only.

  • Fight him in open space (midlane, the Patron courtyard, open bridges) where there is no wall to slam you into
  • Hold a Stun or Knockup for the moment he commits the charge; interrupting it drops you immediately and burns his main engage
  • Dash sideways, not backwards; the charge tracks forward and outruns a straight-line retreat
• Siphon Life Siphon Life 4s Duration42s Cooldown Abrams pulls health out of every enemy standing near him, ticking spirit damage over a short window and converting a share of that damage back into his own health. Damage 22 spirit damage per second base (deadlock.one, patch 09-16-2026 data).

  His engine for winning close brawls and for staying in lane. Because it damages everything in radius it also makes him very hard to burn down while he is surrounded by troopers or multiple heroes.

  • Step outside the aura radius rather than trading inside it; the heal only exists while you are standing in it
  • Buy healing reduction before he stacks Infernal Resilience Infernal Resilience A permanent buff to Abrams' defensive stats. Defensive Bonus defensive stats plus regeneration proportional to damage taken; 1 +200 maximum health 2 +18% melee lifesteal 5 +20% debuff resistance and +9% damage regeneration regen on top of it
  • Do not group tightly around him in a lane wave; every extra body in the radius multiplies his healing
• Infernal Resilience Infernal Resilience A permanent buff to Abrams' defensive stats. Defensive Bonus defensive stats plus regeneration proportional to damage taken; 1 +200 maximum health 2 +18% melee lifesteal 5 +20% debuff resistance and +9% damage regeneration Ability 3

  The reason he can walk into a focused team and live. It effectively gives him a second, delayed health bar as long as he survives the burst window.

  • Kill him inside one burst window rather than chipping him; sustained poke is exactly what the regeneration is designed to eat
  • Apply healing reduction before the fight starts, not after he is already at half health
  • Do not count on long slow or Stun chains to kite him at Tier 3; his debuff resistance shortens them

1. 1 Shoulder Charge Shoulder Charge 1.4s Duration33s Cooldown Abrams barrels forward, scooping up any hero he contacts and carrying them along. Crowd Control Stun on wall impact only. Damage 30 base impact damage (deadlock.one). Mobility Forward charge with a speed bonus after connecting with a hero. 1 applies a 32% move-speed slow for 3s, giving the ability value even when no wall is… 2 +0.8s wall-slam stun duration 5 roughly -18s cooldown and +1.5 weapon damage for 6s after hitting a hero

   Shoulder Charge first — it is his only gap-close, and once it is down he cannot reach you at all. Bait it by standing just inside its range near open ground, then dash laterally

2. 2 Seismic Impact Seismic Impact 215s Cooldown Abrams launches high into the air and then crashes down at a chosen point, damaging and stunning everyone in the impact zone. Crowd Control AoE stun on landing; Tier 2 adds about +0.8s. Damage 100 spirit damage base (deadlock.one). Mobility A long airborne jump to a chosen ground location; 1 roughly -30s cooldown 2 +0.8s stun duration 5 +6m impact radius and 5s Unstoppable on cast

   Seismic Impact second — bait it by looking isolated near your tower, then walk out of the landing circle; it has a very long cooldown before T1

3. 3 Siphon Life Siphon Life 4s Duration42s Cooldown Abrams pulls health out of every enemy standing near him, ticking spirit damage over a short window and converting a share of that damage back into his own health. Damage 22 spirit damage per second base (deadlock.one, patch 09-16-2026 data). Defensive Heals Abrams for a portion of the damage it deals, scaling with how many… 1 large cooldown reduction (about 20s), letting him drain in almost every skirmish 2 +2s duration, extending the heal window through longer brawls 5 +2m radius and roughly +18 damage per second, so it covers a real teamfight footprint

   Siphon Life last — it is short-cooldown and not worth spending a defensive cooldown to dodge; just leave the radius

• Zero ranged threat; outside 17m he is functionally unarmed Strong evidence
• Both of his engages are telegraphed and directional and can be dodged or interrupted Strong evidence
• Anti-heal items gut the majority of his effective health Strong evidence
• Neither of you can disengage well, so fights between you tend to go to completion. That makes the decision to start one much more important than anything you do inside it — commit only when you already have the advantage, because backing out is not available to either side. Strategic

• Immediately after he takes tower or Guardian aggro diving; his regeneration is delayed and objective damage outpaces it Documented
• Abrams's pull is the whole matchup. Until it is on cooldown you are playing around it; once it misses you have a window that is worth committing into. Make it the first thing you bait — show a sliver of yourself from behind cover rather than walking a clean line they can lead. Strategic

• Your kit is built around lockdown and that is worth less on the Mid Boss than on Abrams — it carries 35% Debuff Resist as of 03-06-2026, so your disables run roughly two-thirds as long on it. Plan the take around damage and positioning rather than a CC chain, and spend the chain on Abrams if they contest. The payoff is worth the trip: 3,000 souls + 50 per minute, two permanent buffs each, and a Rejuvenator crystal giving up to three single-use revives that return a player at full health after 3 seconds, for 3 minutes. Documented

• You are not going to kill Abrams in a normal teamfight and trying to is how fights are lost. Treat them as terrain: fight around them, spend your damage on whoever is behind them, and only commit to killing them once anti-heal and shred are actually online. Strategic
• Fights against Abrams recur on the objective clock — the Rift every 7 minutes from about 11:00, the Urn every 5 from 10:00 — which means the question is not whether your ultimate is strong but whether it is up for the next one.

Against a team-fight hero, buying into a recurring ultimate is a different and often better purchase than buying into a bigger one. Documented

• Abrams decides where you stand, not you. The practical rule is to never hold a position whose failure case is being moved — stand so that being yanked or knocked puts you somewhere survivable rather than inside their whole team. Cover at your back is worth more than cover in front. Strong evidence

• You deal Spirit Damage, so Healbane Healbane 1,600 souls Tier 2ArmorPassive +8s Duration +7 Spirit Power -35% Incoming Healing -35% Incoming Healing +275 Heal On Hero Kill is the cheaper and more reliable anti-heal against Abrams — it lands off your abilities at T2 rather than asking you to sustain gunfire you are not built for.

• Abrams is a durability check, and the maths favours shred over raw damage here. Resistances stack multiplicatively, but shred is pooled and then subtracted from total resist — so the higher their resist climbs, the more each point of shred is worth. Against a stacked tank, resist reduction outperforms another flat damage item. Documented

The mistake is opening the fight clean and reaching for anti-heal once they start healing; by then you have spent the fight. Land it before they commit, then keep the window refreshed rather than re-triggering it. Strong evidence
• The finishing heavy melee on Abrams is worse than it feels. Melee Damage is mitigated twice — once by Bullet Resist and again by Melee Resist — so it is the single worst damage channel to point at a stacked-resist target, and the wind-up is long enough for a parry that stuns you for 3 seconds with no Debuff Resist reduction available. Finish with your gun or an ability, not with melee. Strong evidence
