•Locke’s signature habit is stack before cashing: if you can stay attached, land two or three Ritual Nails before the first mark proc instead of cashing the first touch, because his damage is built around a delayed payout rather than instant release
•Soul Ignition is a contact test, not a free all-in button; press W when the target has already lost the tool that breaks away, otherwise you spend your own health on a sequence you cannot finish
•Locke’s best games are the ones where an early spike turns into short shove-disappear-reappear skirmishes, because his lead is much stronger while enemies still have to answer the full nails-mark-pursuit pattern and his win rate drops hard when that first component arrives late
