Deadlock Rem Guide
Rem is a specialist hero with 690 health and a burst fire / medium range kit. What each ability does and when to request Rem on a boost.
Rem's kit is built to keep allies alive and lock enemies down: Tag Along jumps onto a teammate, heals you both, and leaves Rem untargetable while napping, and Naptime is a wall-piercing gaze that slows enemies caught in it and puts them to sleep when the channel ends. A booster leverages that sustain and the sleep to set up kills for the team, with Lil Helpers keeping farm flowing in the background.

Solo boost fit
In a solo boost the Eternus 6 booster plays Rem on your account after the encrypted credential handoff, and wins come from Naptime landing on grouped enemies while teammates are close enough to punish the sleep. Between fights the booster sends Lil Helpers to collect boxes and buff troopers so the account never falls behind in souls, and lands Pillow Toss to knock enemies back and pull Tag Along and Naptime off cooldown sooner. Rem is a stable request when the lobby follows up and a slower one when it does not, because most of Rem's value lands on teammates rather than on Rem.
Duo boost notes
In a duo boost you stay on your own account and queue alongside the booster, so the coordination centers on Tag Along and Naptime. Whoever plays Rem naps onto the partner as the partner dives, which heals both of you and keeps Rem untargetable while the partner takes the fight, and Naptime only goes out once the partner is in position to hit the sleepers before they wake. Lil Helpers follow the partner into fights for the spirit resist and move speed burst, while the Rem player covers boxes and lane sustain so the partner can stay aggressive.
When to request this hero
Request Rem by name when you plan to duo, or when you already play Rem and want your account's match history to stay consistent through the climb. Let the booster pick when your only goal is the fastest solo climb, because Rem's biggest plays need teammates to follow up and a hero that closes fights alone depends less on the lobby.
FAST ANSWERS
Should I request Rem for a Deadlock boost?
Yes if you plan to duo or you want your match history to stay on Rem, since Tag Along and Naptime are at their best when two players coordinate around them. For a pure solo climb, consider leaving the pick open, because Rem's strongest plays need teammates to follow up on the sleep.
Is Rem better for solo or duo boosting?
Duo. Tag Along needs a partner to nap on and Naptime needs someone in position to punish the sleep, so a booster queued next to you gets far more out of Rem than a booster alone in a random lobby. Solo still works because Lil Helpers keeps farm steady and Tag Along makes Rem hard to kill, but the climb leans on the lobby more.
What makes Rem different to boost with?
Rem's power mostly flows through allies rather than through Rem alone: Tag Along makes Rem untargetable while healing a teammate, Lil Helpers collect boxes and support troopers without Rem being there, and Naptime pierces walls and floors to slow and then sleep an entire area. That means the booster spends less time trading damage and more time positioning for the sleep and the follow-up.
