Unlock

Solomon unlocked Oct 9, 2026 at 2 PM PT as third City Never Sleeps hero, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That unlock fact is the core of this report, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and it sets the frame for everything that follows in this article.

This site covered Rat King and Baba as earlier City Never Sleeps unlocks.

Release order so far is Rat King Oct 2, then Baba Oct 6, then Solomon Oct 9, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That order matters for readers who track the City Never Sleeps rollout in sequence, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, because it confirms Solomon as third.

The date and time deserve repetition for clarity, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Solomon unlocked Oct 9, 2026 at 2 PM PT. The page presents Solomon as out now, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, with the label New hero and the line Out now with Oct 9, 2026. Readers who check the page after the unlock will see live kit and stat blocks rather than a ballot teaser, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

The City Never Sleeps context is also stated on the page, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Solomon is described as the newest hero from City Never Sleeps, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That framing helps readers place Solomon inside the six hero rollout rather than as a standalone patch addition, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

For readers who follow unlock cadence, the page notes a staggered release pattern where a new one unlocks every Tuesday and Friday at 2 PM PT, in the order players vote for, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Solomon fits that cadence as the Friday Oct 9 unlock, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The next unlock is Tue Oct 13 at 2 PM PDT, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, which keeps the Tuesday and Friday rhythm intact for the remaining ballot.

This article treats Deadlock Labs as the source for release timing, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Any timing claim here attributes to Deadlock Labs new hero page. That choice keeps the unlock fact explicit and traceable for readers who want to verify the hour and the order.

The unlock standing is simple to state, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Rat King is out now. Baba is out now. Solomon is out now. Nurse Harrow, Deadman Danny and Violet remain on the ballot, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The unlock sequence table later in this article restates that standing in tabular form, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

Readers who arrive late to the rollout should read Solomon as third, not first and not last, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Third means two earlier unlocks are already live and three ballot names are still waiting, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That middle position shapes expectations because the meta has already started to absorb two new kits before Solomon arrives, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as the timing source.

The page also carries voice lines, builds and counters links, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. This article does not duplicate community builds as fact. It reports the kit, tags, complexity, base stats and lineup facts that Deadlock Labs prints, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and it leaves build advice to the labeled early read section as interpretation rather than as a verified stat.

Kit

Kit facts here follow Deadlock Labs kit, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The gun is Alekhines Gun, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The abilities are Setup Bishop, Kingside Knight, Rook Battery, and ultimate Develop Queen, each with three upgrades, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Those five names form the complete printed kit in this report, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

The gun line as printed reads Alekhines Gun with 30 damage per shot, 120 shots per minute, 60 base DPS, 8 magazine, 3s reload, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Every number in that sentence attributes to Deadlock Labs new hero page. Readers should treat that line as the current printed gun block, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and not mix it with wiki weapon numbers that may be stale.

The ability list as printed reads Setup Bishop as ability 1, Kingside Knight as ability 2, Rook Battery as ability 3, and Develop Queen as ability 4 and ultimate, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Each ability has three upgrades, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That upgrade count applies evenly across all four abilities, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, which is useful for readers planning upgrade order in general terms.

Tags as printed are Strategist, Focused, Checkmate, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Complexity is 1 of 3, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Those labels help readers set a first impression before matches accumulate, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, because tags and complexity print immediately while win rate needs time.

The kit table below repeats the printed kit in tabular form, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. It exists so readers can scan gun and abilities in one place without hunting through prose, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as source. The Standing column in that table marks each row as Weapon or as Ability 1 through Ability 4 Ultimate, which preserves kit order as printed, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

A note on sourcing matters for kit accuracy. Wiki weapon and ability numbers may be stale because the wiki page says unreleased and to be released in places, per Deadlock Wiki in prose without a link here. This article prefers Deadlock Labs kit, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and flags wiki stats as pre release where wiki text reflects an earlier state. That preference is stated here so readers do not treat older wiki numbers as equal to the printed Labs kit, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as the preferred kit source.

For readers who like to study kits by slot, the order is stable, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Weapon first, then Setup Bishop, then Kingside Knight, then Rook Battery, then Develop Queen ultimate, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Holding that order in mind makes later patch notes easier to follow because any future change can be mapped to a slot, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as the slot source.

The three upgrades per ability point deserves emphasis, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Three upgrades per ability means twelve upgrade choices across the four abilities in total, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as the count source. This article does not list upgrade effects as fact because the verified fact supplied here is the count and the names, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, not the full upgrade text.

Gun feel cannot be reduced to one number, but the printed gun block gives readers a starting vocabulary, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Damage per shot, shots per minute, base DPS, magazine and reload together describe output and downtime in one line, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Readers tracking Solomon should watch how often the 8 round magazine and 3s reload shape positioning, while treating that observation as a general read rather than as an extra verified stat.

SlotNameDetail As PrintedStanding
WeaponAlekhines Gun30 damage per shot, 120 shots per minute, 60 base DPS, 8 magazine, 3s reload, per Deadlock Labs new hero pageWeapon

2Kingside KnightAbility with three upgrades, per Deadlock Labs new hero pageAbility 2
3Rook BatteryAbility with three upgrades, per Deadlock Labs new hero pageAbility 3
4Develop QueenUltimate with three upgrades, per Deadlock Labs new hero pageAbility 4 Ultimate

The table above is kit as printed, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. It uses the exact gun numbers and the exact ability names supplied for this report, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The Standing column preserves slot order so Weapon, Ability 1, Ability 2, Ability 3 and Ability 4 Ultimate remain distinct.

Tags and complexity sit outside the table but belong with the kit, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Strategist, Focused and Checkmate print together as tags, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and complexity prints as 1 of 3, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Low complexity on a three point scale suggests a readable entry point on paper, while live feel will still depend on matches that have not yet accumulated.

Base Stats

Base stats here follow Deadlock Labs, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Health is 780 with rank 15 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Regen is 2 with rank 5 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Move is 6.7 meters per second with rank 23 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Sprint is 3.25 with rank 4 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Stamina is 2 with rank 34 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Light melee is 50 with rank 9 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Heavy melee is 116 with rank 5 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Headshot damage taken is 100 percent with rank 4 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

Each rank needs a plain reading, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as source for the numbers. Health 780 at 15 of 41 places Solomon above the roster middle on raw level one health, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Regen 2 at 5 of 41 places Solomon near the top for base regen, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Move 6.7 meters per second at 23 of 41 places Solomon near the roster average for base move, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, with the page marking the roster average by tick. Sprint 3.25 at 4 of 41 places Solomon near the top for sprint, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Stamina 2 at 34 of 41 places Solomon toward the lower end for stamina, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Light melee 50 at 9 of 41 places Solomon near the top for light melee, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Heavy melee 116 at 5 of 41 places Solomon near the top for heavy melee, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Headshot damage taken 100 percent at 4 of 41 is printed as a rank on the page, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and readers should read it as a listed stat rather than as a judgment about durability alone.

The page frames these as Solomon at level one measured against every other playable hero, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That level one framing matters because items, upgrades and scaling will move real match values away from base, per general game knowledge applied as interpretation rather than as a new Solomon fact. Base stats give a starting shape, not a final verdict, while win rate remains too early to use.

Win rate is not yet reliable and there are too few matches, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The page fills in as games finish, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That statement should temper any early claim about whether Solomon is strong or weak, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as source. Readers should expect win rate and pick rate to show up once enough matches are in, usually a day or two after the unlock, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

For readers who track durability, the combination of 780 health and 2 regen is the section to watch first, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. High regen rank does not erase the need for cover and timing, but on paper it gives Solomon a steadier base between trades than many roster peers, per Deadlock Labs new hero page numbers read as interpretation. That read remains provisional until match volume grows and the page fills in, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

For readers who track mobility, the split between move rank and sprint rank is the section to watch, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Move 6.7 meters per second at 23 of 41 reads as average on paper, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, while sprint 3.25 at 4 of 41 reads as fast on paper, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Stamina 2 at 34 of 41 suggests limited sustain for repeated stamina spending on paper, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, so sprint bursts may need planning rather than constant use, stated here as general interpretation of the printed ranks.

For readers who track melee, light melee 50 at 9 of 41 and heavy melee 116 at 5 of 41 both read as high on paper, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Those ranks do not make Solomon a melee hero by role, because tags read Strategist, Focused, Checkmate, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, but they do give close range trades more weight than a low melee line would, stated here as interpretation of the printed numbers.

Headshot damage taken at 100 percent with rank 4 of 41 should be read carefully, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The page prints the value and the rank together, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and this article repeats both without adding a new mechanical claim. Readers who want to understand that line should check the live page definition rather than infer a hidden bonus, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as source.

All eight base stats together create a compact snapshot, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Health rank 15, regen rank 5, move rank 23, sprint rank 4, stamina rank 34, light melee rank 9, heavy melee rank 5, headshot damage taken rank 4, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Repeating the full set in one sentence helps readers verify they have seen every printed rank, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, before moving to identity and lineup.

Identity

Identity facts here follow Deadlock Wiki in prose without a link here, with explicit attribution in each sentence. Voice actor is Carl Lumbly via Yoshi on Deadlock Discord Sep 30 2026, per Deadlock Wiki. Internal codename is Chessmaster, per Deadlock Wiki. Lore centers on chess table counsel, per Deadlock Wiki. Those three points form the core identity block for this report, per Deadlock Wiki.

The lore line as supplied reads that in a world that moves too fast, Solomon is content to stop and listen, offering a friendly ear and good counsel, sitting across the chess table from tourists, criminals and titans of industry, remaining unphased because to him chess is far more than a game, an equalizer and a way to connect with people from all walks of life on an even playing field, per Deadlock Wiki. That summary is repeated here as lore context, per Deadlock Wiki, not as match mechanics.

Trivia as supplied adds texture for chess readers, per Deadlock Wiki. File animations reference Byrne vs Fischer 1956 Game of the Century, Deep Blue vs Kasparov 1997, and Opera Game 1858, per Deadlock Wiki. Typography references queenside castling 0-0-0, per Deadlock Wiki. Hair ends like chess pieces, per Deadlock Wiki. Each trivia point attributes to Deadlock Wiki in this paragraph, per Deadlock Wiki.

The voice actor point deserves a full restatement for clarity, per Deadlock Wiki. Carl Lumbly is the voice actor via Yoshi on Deadlock Discord Sep 30 2026, per Deadlock Wiki. That sourcing chain is printed here exactly as supplied, per Deadlock Wiki, so readers see both the name and the relay path. No additional voice claim is made in this article beyond that line, per Deadlock Wiki as the identity source.

The codename point is short but useful for long time watchers, per Deadlock Wiki. Chessmaster is the internal codename, per Deadlock Wiki. Codenames often linger in files and early discussion, so readers may see Chessmaster in older references that predate the Solomon name, per Deadlock Wiki as source for the codename fact stated as interpretation of naming practice.

A sourcing caution applies to numbers found on the wiki. Wiki weapon and ability numbers may be stale because the page says unreleased and to be released in places, noted here per Deadlock Wiki. This article prefers Deadlock Labs kit, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and flags wiki stats as pre release. That flag protects readers from mixing a pre release wiki number with the printed Labs gun line of 30 damage per shot, 120 shots per minute, 60 base DPS, 8 magazine and 3s reload, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

For readers who enjoy design reads, the chess theme is consistent across kit names, tags, lore and trivia, per Deadlock Wiki for lore and trivia and per Deadlock Labs new hero page for kit names and tags. Setup Bishop, Kingside Knight, Rook Battery and Develop Queen echo chess language, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, while Checkmate as a tag, chess table counsel as lore, Game of the Century and Opera Game references, queenside castling typography and chess piece hair ends reinforce the same motif, per Deadlock Wiki for the latter set. That cohesion is stated here as an editorial observation built only from the supplied facts.

Identity does not decide power, but it does shape first impressions. A calm counsel figure with a chess table habit reads differently from a brawler or a skirmisher, per Deadlock Wiki lore read as interpretation. Complexity 1 of 3, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, adds to that accessible first impression on paper. Live matches will show whether that accessible read holds once players test Setup Bishop, Kingside Knight, Rook Battery and Develop Queen in real lanes, per Deadlock Labs new hero page for the ability names.

Lineup and Next Unlock

Lineup facts here follow Deadlock Labs new hero page, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Still on ballot are Nurse Harrow, Deadman Danny and Violet, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Next unlock is Tue Oct 13 at 2 PM PDT, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Release order so far is Rat King Oct 2, Baba Oct 6, Solomon Oct 9, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Those three sentences carry the full lineup as supplied, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

The unlock sequence table below repeats that lineup in tabular form, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. It lists Rat King, Baba and Solomon as out now with their dates, and Nurse Harrow, Deadman Danny and Violet as on the ballot, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The Standing column marks each row as Out now or On the ballot, with a note for the next unlock date, per Deadlock Labs new hero page.

1Rat KingOct 2Out now
2BabaOct 6Out now
3SolomonOct 9Out now
NextNurse HarrowBallotOn the ballot
NextDeadman DannyBallotOn the ballot
NextVioletBallotOn the ballot

The table above is unlock sequence as required, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Dates for Rat King, Baba and Solomon match the release order supplied for this report, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Ballot names match the still on ballot list supplied for this report, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Next unlock Tue Oct 13 at 2 PM PDT sits outside the table rows as the cadence note, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, because the page does not yet name which ballot hero wins that slot.

Readers tracking the vote should note the mechanism as printed, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. A new one unlocks every Tuesday and Friday at 2 PM PT in the order players vote for, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That line explains why the next unlock date is known while the next hero name is not yet known, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as source. Votes decide the order, cadence decides the hour.

The three ballot names deserve exact repetition, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Nurse Harrow is on the ballot, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Deadman Danny is on the ballot, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Violet is on the ballot, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Keeping each name in its own sentence avoids ambiguity for readers who skim, per editorial choice, while every ballot fact still attributes to Deadlock Labs new hero page.

Timing precision helps readers avoid missing the next vote window, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as timing source. Next unlock Tue Oct 13 2 PM PDT is the printed line, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Readers in other zones should convert from that PDT line using a standard converter rather than guessing, stated here as general advice rather than as a new fact.

Win rate context belongs with the lineup because early days distort impressions, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Win rate is not yet reliable and there are too few matches, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. The page fills in as games finish, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. That caution applies to Solomon as the newest unlock and it will apply again when the Oct 13 hero arrives, stated here as interpretation of the printed caution.

Early Read

This early read section is interpretation built only from the verified facts above, with attribution repeated so readers can trace each input. Gun line per Deadlock Labs new hero page, ability names per Deadlock Labs new hero page, tags and complexity per Deadlock Labs new hero page, base stats per Deadlock Labs new hero page, ballot and timing per Deadlock Labs new hero page, identity and trivia per Deadlock Wiki. No new stat is introduced here.

Start with tags Strategist, Focused, Checkmate, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Strategist suggests planning and setup as a fantasy, Focused suggests a tight game plan rather than a broad toolkit, Checkmate reinforces a finishing idea, stated here as a plain language read of the printed tags. Complexity 1 of 3, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, suggests the kit should read clearly on first contact. That clarity does not mean mastery will come quickly in live lanes, but it does mean new players can likely grasp the intended loop faster than with a high complexity label.

Gun reading on paper starts from Alekhines Gun at 30 damage per shot, 120 shots per minute, 60 base DPS, 8 magazine and 3s reload, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. A small magazine with a full 3s reload points toward deliberate shot choice and reload planning in general shooter terms, stated here as interpretation rather than as a new Solomon fact. Readers who like to count windows can think in terms of eight shots before a pause, per Deadlock Labs new hero page numbers, while remembering that abilities, items and positioning will reshape real output.

Ability reading on paper starts from names and upgrade count alone, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Setup Bishop, Kingside Knight and Rook Battery as the three standard abilities plus Develop Queen as ultimate, each with three upgrades, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, gives a clean one two three plus ultimate structure. Setup language in Setup Bishop hints at preparation, Knight language hints at movement or angles, Battery language hints at combined pressure, Queen language hints at a high value finale, stated here as name based interpretation rather than as confirmed mechanics. Readers should verify real effects in game or on the live page rather than treating name reads as fact.

Stat reading on paper should stay provisional until matches accumulate, per Deadlock Labs new hero page win rate caution. Health 780 at 15 of 41 with regen 2 at 5 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, gives a steadier base than a low health low regen line would, stated as interpretation. Sprint 3.25 at 4 of 41 with stamina 2 at 34 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, suggests strong burst movement with limited repeat use on paper, stated as interpretation. Light melee 50 at 9 of 41 and heavy melee 116 at 5 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, gives close range relevance on paper, stated as interpretation. Move 6.7 meters per second at 23 of 41, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, keeps base foot speed near average on paper, stated as interpretation.

Identity reading adds flavor without changing numbers, per Deadlock Wiki. Chess table counsel lore, per Deadlock Wiki, plus Carl Lumbly voice via Yoshi on Deadlock Discord Sep 30 2026, per Deadlock Wiki, plus Chessmaster codename, per Deadlock Wiki, plus Game of the Century, Deep Blue vs Kasparov and Opera Game animation references, per Deadlock Wiki, plus queenside castling 0-0-0 typography, per Deadlock Wiki, plus chess piece hair ends, per Deadlock Wiki, together make Solomon one of the most thematically unified additions in the rollout as an editorial impression. That impression does not alter gun or stat facts, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as the numbers source.

Lineup reading is straightforward, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Solomon as third means the player base has already seen Rat King Oct 2 and Baba Oct 6 before Solomon Oct 9, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Three ballot names remain in Nurse Harrow, Deadman Danny and Violet, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, with the next unlock Tue Oct 13 at 2 PM PDT, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Readers who want to prepare for Oct 13 should follow the vote rather than assume an order, per Deadlock Labs new hero page mechanism that order follows votes.

Practical advice for day one should stay humble because win rate is not yet reliable and too few matches exist, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, with the page filling in as games finish, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Treat first sessions as data gathering. Note reload timing. Note upgrade paths across the three upgrades per ability, per Deadlock Labs new hero page. Note how Strategist, Focused, Checkmate tags, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, feel in real lanes. Note whether sprint rank or melee ranks matter more than expected, per Deadlock Labs new hero page numbers. Write down observations and revisit them once the page shows stable pick and win lines, per Deadlock Labs new hero page as the future source.

A final caution on sources helps readers avoid stale numbers. Prefer Deadlock Labs kit, per Deadlock Labs new hero page, and flag wiki stats as pre release where the wiki says unreleased or to be released, per Deadlock Wiki. That habit will matter again for the Oct 13 unlock because early wiki text often lags the live page, stated here as general sourcing advice rather than as a new fact about the next hero.
