How Baba beats Holliday

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 Holliday

A trick-shooter. Holliday launches you into the air and then shoots you out of it.

  • 01Don’t stand near Powder Keg — she can detonate it whenever she wants.
  • 02Respect her headshots; she out-duels most heroes who stand still.
  • 03Spread so Lasso only takes one.
