How Bebop beats Shiv
Brawler vs Brawler
A brawler mirror is about who commits second. Both of you want close range, so the hero who lands crowd control on the other’s engage wins the trade. Keep stamina for a disengage and fight near your troopers.
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.
