Punk - Chaotic - G.O.A.T.

Billy is a Hero in Deadlock. A white hot ball of rage, furious at the very notion of... something. Billy is a chaotic front-liner who never backs down from a challenge. With Rising Ram he gets up close and personal, before slamming down with Bashdown to create shockwaves through his enemies. Running isn't even an option when Billy can use his ultimate Chain Gang to grapple enemies and pull them back in. A quick swig from his bottle gets him Blasted, and his enemies totally wrecked.

Billy was released on August 20, 2025 as the first winner of the Six Heroes update contest.

Notes

• Bashdown procs the melee effects for Blasted.
• If the player reaches a certain threshold of Blasted stacks by landing multiple melee hits in a short time (10-15s), the Blasted duration will start going down even if the player keeps landing melee hits. However, Blasted can be sustained indefinitely by spacing out melee hits before hitting the max stacks threshold.

Chain Gang

150s

Chain nearby enemies to you. Chained enemies cannot use movement abilities and receive a heavy slow when they pull on the chain.

After a delay, yank everyone towards Billy and deal spirit damage.

The chain breaks if you lose line of sight for a short while.

Background

“

Billy is a white hot ball of rage, furious at the very notion of...something. Maybe it’s the cops. Maybe it’s magic regulations. Maybe it’s the service at the gyro place downtown. (Not the good one. The other one.)

Don't ask him how he got the goat head.

Lore

Billy's wish is unknown, although the Patrons imply that Billy wants to change the world due to it being "corrupt and beyond saving."

Billy got his goat head by using eldritch powers/black magic. He implies he turned his head into a goat for a specific reason.

Billy criticizes a Shakespearean Festival, but considers going once Paige points out that people there would view him as "their king."

Billy enjoys rioting and looting in New York, although he thinks he's the only one allowed to start fires in "his" city (he does accept public rioting if the Knickerbockers win the basketball championship).

Billy used to use Rising Ram in circle pits before being told to stop. It's implied Billy uses Shadow Weave to escape the police after committing crimes.

Despite being an anarchist, Billy still pays his taxes.

Billy believes the Baxter Society never killed real monsters and that it was all a publicity stunt. Billy doesn't believe the Adversary exists until he sees it with his own eyes.

Character interactions

• Billy hates everyone. He especially loathes rich people, such as Lady Geist. He does, however, compliment his allies when they're doing well.
• Billy and Vyper flirt with each other. While Vyper holds Billy in high regard, Billy thinks Vyper is a moron.
• Billy thinks Lash is "chiseled like a Greek God" and has a "sexy mustache".
• Billy believes Carlos Arroyo used Ivy to increase the property value of Spanish Harlem and to secure his spot as New York's mayor.
• Billy thinks Bebop living in a scrapyard is "kinda cool".
• Lady Geist exclusively refers to Billy as "William". She never calls him Billy.
• The Doorman tells Billy that he's "terribly uninteresting" and "dreadfully boring".
• Bebop calls Billy the "budget version of Lash".
• Vindicta calls Billy out for always talking about the world's problems, but doing nothing to change them.
• Paige wishes she could give Billy a hug. She tries to connect with Billy by seeing past his "mad at the world" schtick, but is unsuccessful.

Trivia

• "Billy goat" is a term used for a male goat.
• Billy's weapon name, Biquette, means "young female goat" in French. It is a reference to "Biquette the punk rock goat", who went viral on the internet for hanging around punk rock and metal concerts.
• Billy has unused "bespoke" voicelines that make meta references to the game, such as the popular melee Abrams build, calling McGinnis' turrets "aimbots", and calling out Haze for "pressing 4".
  • Billy makes a reference to the Rejuvenator rework, saying that "it used to go out to everybody until the Man decided it was too good".
• Billy was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidentally leaked on stream in May 2025. Being early in development, he was using Shiv's model as a placeholder. Billy's work-in-progress portrait was later leaked by an anonymous Discord user in July 2025.
• "Ranting in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Billy in the Hideout.
• One of Billy's in-game hero select screen labels, G.O.A.T., is a reference to the acronym GOAT, standing for "greatest of all time".
