Drifter Synergy & Best Duos
Who works best with Drifter in Deadlock? Best duo partners and worst pairings for Drifter, ranked by win rate together over recent matches.
Drifter wants a partner who can convert an early lead into map control, and Seven fits that plan cleanly. Drifter creates the openings and forces enemies out of position, then Seven follows up with area pressure that punishes anyone caught grouped or slow to reset. The pairing works because Drifter's aggression buys the space and tempo Seven needs to farm safely and reach the item timings where his teamfight presence takes over. In return, Drifter gets a teammate who closes out the fights he starts.
Drifter wins 51.10% of matches overall (#15 of 44 heroes) since the Halloween 2026 Update. Its best duo is Graves — together they win 58.42%; the weakest pairing is Mirage at 44.46%.
