Billy vs 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 Billy

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

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.

1. 01Billy out-farms Drifter by ~8 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Drifter looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
