Locke, the Ashen Exorcist, is a melee assassin and mage champion. In fights Locke is a fragile champion who deals mixed physical and magic damage in bursts, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Locke players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 75% Ability Power.
Your attacks already carry Silver Stake (passive) magic damage, and Soul Ignition (W) Attack Speed means each extra attack also adds Marksmage's Ability Power damage.
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Ritual Nails (Q), Ashen Pursuit (E) and Purgatory (R) damage can Critically Strike, so you push targets below the Purgatory seal threshold sooner.
Permanently gain 1 Ability Power when you hit an enemy with an Ability. If taken after round 4, gain 40 Ability Power.
Ritual Nails (Q) and Ashen Pursuit (E) can hit multiple enemies, so team fights let you stack Ability Power quickly across rounds.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Locke players take it.
