How Bebop beats Drifter

Brawler vs Assassin

You have the health; they have the burst. Make them fight you long — every second past their first combo is in your favour. Buy defensive items early and stay near allies.

Your game plan as Bebop

The hook. Bebop decides fights by dragging one hero into five.

Lane
Sticky Bomb stacks permanently: every hero you hit with it adds damage for the rest of the game. Threaten Grapple Arm from behind troopers.
Mid game
Hook isolated heroes into your team, or into your Guardian. Uppercut the target back toward your allies.
Late game
Hyper Beam melts grouped teams from high ground. Grapple Arm also works on allies, so you can pull a teammate out of a dive.

How to beat Drifter

A stalker who marks a target and then makes sure no one can save them.

  • 01Stay with your team; Eternal Night isolates people who are already alone.
  • 02Cleanse or out-heal Stalker’s Mark bleed rather than running.
  • 03Peel for whoever he marks.
