Measured from matches at all ranks from October 30 to November 1, 2026, starting on the day patch 6833 was released (October 30, 2026), by deadlock-api.com. These are match results, not numbers from the game files, and the most bought items, not a recommended build. Each table counts the items bought in one part of a match, by the game time of the purchase: laning before 10:00, mid game 10:00 to 19:59 and late game at 20:00 or later. "Bought by" is the share of all Nurse Harrow matches in which the Nurse Harrow player bought the item in that phase, counting matches that ended before it began. The win rate is how often those players won, which describes the players who bought it, not what the item itself adds. The average buy time is the average game time of those purchases, also measured by deadlock-api.com. A copy the Broker corrupted is not counted. An item shows only with at least 500 matches.

Nurse Harrow lore

A respected pillar at the Marble Hill Possession Ward, Nurse Harrow has dedicated her life to combating the horrors of supernatural possession. A blend of care, severity, and detached pragmatism; Harrow has been called a saint by some of her patients, and a cruel governess by others. Both are probably true.

But while any sane person would question how and why Harrow keeps the pain of her patients stored in her medical bag, none can question the results of her treatment program... cruel though it may be.

Nurse Harrow vs every hero

Body shots Nurse Harrow needs to kill each other hero, and each hero needs to kill Nurse Harrow, both at level 1 with no items. Each number opens that matchup in the lab.

Computed with the matchup lab's formula, body shots with every pellet hitting, level 1, no items: damage per bullet = bullet damage x (1 - defender bullet resist / 100); bullets to kill = ceil(defender max health / damage per bullet); body shots = ceil(bullets to kill / bullets per shot). Each number's tooltip holds its inputs.

Not modelled:

  • Headshots: the gun files give a 1.65 bonus, a game setting gives 1.25, and only the game shows which applies.
  • Damage falloff over range, and the game-unit to meter conversion.
  • Resist shred and negative resist.
  • Reload, burst-fire and spin-up timing, so time to kill is shown only when the kill fits in one clip of a gun that neither bursts nor spins up.
  • Item procs and actives, spirit damage amplifiers, and ability upgrades (every ability is at its base tier).
  • Health regen, barriers and healing during the fight.
