How Baba beats Paradox
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 Paradox
A tactician who swaps you into her team.
- 01Stay behind your frontline; Swap trades your position for hers.
- 02Walk out of Pulse Grenade before the radius grows.
- 03Shoot around Time Wall, not through it.
