Baba vs Lash

Mystic vs Assassin

Keep your CC for their dive. One stun on an assassin is usually a kill for your team.

Your game plan as Baba

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

How to beat Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

• 01Stay under overhead cover; Lash needs a clear line to grapple.
• 02Break line of sight during the Death Slam channel to avoid being connected.
• 03Stun him mid-air; he has few escapes once committed.

1. 01Lash wins the farm by ~9.4 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Lash denies ~1 more orb per match — secure your orbs before they can.
3. 03Lash looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
4. 04Lash has sustain (Flog). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
