How Baba beats Deadman Danny

Mystic vs Marksman

Use spells to force them out of position; marksmen hate being moved.

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 Deadman Danny

A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.

  • 01Stay spread when Chimera Mk1 is overheating; a dive that hits nobody stuns him.
  • 02Slows work on him while he is airborne — use them to stop his approach.
  • 03Avoid fighting low on health near him; Close The Deal hits harder below 50%.
