Kelvin Duos & Synergies
Who works best with Kelvin in Deadlock? Best duo partners and worst pairings for Kelvin, ranked by win rate together over recent matches.
Kelvin wants a partner who cashes in on setup, and his ice path plus slows create exactly the pinned targets that Seven feeds on. Once an enemy is caught in his zone, Seven's chained damage lands clean instead of chasing. The healing dome also lets an aggressive Seven hold a fight longer than he safely could alone. Kelvin brings the control and the survivability that let a high-value carry stay in the open and keep dealing, turning brief windows into won teamfights.
Kelvin wins 53.90% of matches overall (#5 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its best duo is Graves — together they win 60.75%; the weakest pairing is Mirage at 47.53%.
