How Billy beats Deadman Danny

Brawler vs Marksman

Close the gap or don’t fight. Marksmen win at range, so use corners and troopers to approach, and spend your gap-closer only when you can follow through.

Your game plan as Billy

A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.

Lane
Melee is your weapon: Blasted refunds ammo on melee hits. Rising Ram has half cooldown on impact, so land it and it’s back fast.
Mid game
Dive the backline with Rising Ram, Bashdown anyone who flies, and keep swinging.
Late game
Chain Gang ties a group to you, and while chained they can’t use movement abilities. Land it in the middle of their team with your follow-up nearby.

How to beat Deadman Danny

A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.

  • 01Stay spread when Chimera Mk1 is overheating; a dive that hits nobody stuns him.
  • 02Slows work on him while he is airborne — use them to stop his approach.
  • 03Avoid fighting low on health near him; Close The Deal hits harder below 50%.
