How Baba beats Billy

Mystic vs Brawler

Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.

Your game plan as Baba

A chaotic hex-caster who turns fights into a mess of silences, slows and stolen Spirit.

Lane
Trade with Threadsap. It steals Spirit, so every hit swings the lane. Granny Long Legs gives you an escape and a knockback kick.
Mid game
Throw Baba’s Brew into contested chokes and watch the cycle: barrier for allies, silence or burn for enemies.
Late game
Feed The Birds wins teamfights that last — start the channel on a grouped team behind your frontline.

How to beat Billy

A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.

  • 01Keep him off you; Billy wants melee range for everything.
  • 02Don’t pull against Chain Gang; straining the chain slows you hard.
  • 03Bait Rising Ram, then fight while it’s on full cooldown.
