How Apollo beats Bebop
Assassin vs Brawler
Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.
Your game plan as Apollo
A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.
Lane
Poke with Disengaging Sigil and use its leap to dodge trades. Save Riposte for a predictable incoming ability.
Mid game
Flank fights and look for heroes who blow their cooldowns early; Flawless Advance chains lunges into a kill.
Late game
Itani Lo Sahn is a long-range lockdown that also stops healing. Use it on the enemy carry or healer to open the fight.
How to beat Bebop
The hook. Bebop decides fights by dragging one hero into five.
- 01Stand behind troopers; Grapple Arm grabs the first character it hits.
- 02Punish the 23-second Grapple cooldown — he has no other gap-closer.
- 03Interrupt or out-range Hyper Beam; it’s a channel, not a burst.
- 04Don’t let him stack Sticky Bomb hits early.
