How Baba beats Nurse Harrow

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 Nurse Harrow

A battlefield medic who heals with her gun, starves enemy buffs with leeches and terrifies anyone who looks her in the eye.

  • 01Turn your back to Lurking Terrors: facing away halves its damage and stops the terror building.
  • 02Burst the Wretched Vapors target after the rush ends; the delayed damage lands all at once unless she heals it.
  • 03Pressure Harrow while Healing Needles is loaded; her clip is healing allies, not shooting you.
