How Baba beats Lady Geist

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

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 Lady Geist

A blood-mage who spends her own health to take yours.

  • 01Pressure her when she’s low from her own abilities.
  • 02Break Life Drain’s line of sight.
  • 03Stay healthy near her when Soul Exchange is up; it’s worth less against low-health targets.
