How Bebop beats Yamato

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 Yamato

A blade who commits fully — and refreshes everything when she does.
