Use the listed default build as a starting point for Baba: buy the staged items below, unlock Threadsap, Baba’s Brew, Granny Long Legs, then Feed The Birds, and follow the point order shown. Baba became playable in the October 7, 2026 update, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a permanent or proven best-in-slot build; adjust to the match and recheck after patches.

Threadsap
Threads a line along the crosshair path, dealing Spirit damage and stealing enemy Spirit Power. While Baba holds stolen Spirit Power, her bullets deal bonus Spirit damage. Its listed upgrades add Spirit damage per bullet, then reduce cooldown and extend debuff duration, then add a charge and pull enemies on hit.
Granny Long Legs
Extends the bench’s legs to grant movement speed, higher jumps, debuff resistance, and melee resistance. A light melee kicks enemies back; a heavy melee ground pound knocks them up, slows them, and deals Spirit damage. Listed upgrades add movement speed, reduce cooldown, and add resistances plus melee lifesteal.
Baba’s Brew
Cycles among a barrier, a silence, and a burn that deals Spirit damage over time and reduces Spirit resistance. Baba can pause or resume brewing. Listed upgrades add area radius, reduce cooldown, and improve brew effectiveness.
Feed The Birds
Applies bread that stacks a slow during a channel. At the end, pigeons deal Spirit damage and hex the target into a pigeon. Listed upgrades increase cast range and slow, reduce cooldown, then increase damage, Spirit scaling, and hex duration.
Recommended Free Tools
The deadlock.one Baba overview dated October 7, 2026 lists Threadsap at 35 m range and a 26 s cooldown; Granny Long Legs at 10 s duration and 30 s cooldown; Baba’s Brew at 6 m radius and 25 s cooldown; and Feed The Birds at 18 m cast range and 150 s cooldown. These are dated, patch-sensitive game values, not independently validated measurements; check the current in-game tooltips before relying on them.

The listed build supplies one staged purchase path, not a comparison of validated alternatives. Keep its item list and point order as reference points, then respond to the match rather than assuming the same purchases or upgrade timing will fit every game. No specific counter-build substitutions are established here.
Valve’s mechanics explanation describes builds as plans for items and ability upgrades and notes that community builds can change as the game changes: Deadlock mechanics, explained. Baba’s playable release and ability details were documented in October 2026; check current game information after a balance update.
