How Billy beats Holliday

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 Holliday

A trick-shooter. Holliday launches you into the air and then shoots you out of it.

  • 01Don’t stand near Powder Keg — she can detonate it whenever she wants.
  • 02Respect her headshots; she out-duels most heroes who stand still.
  • 03Spread so Lasso only takes one.
