How Billy beats McGinnis
Brawler vs Mystic
Most Mystic damage is spirit damage. Buy Spirit Resist early and walk them down after they’ve used their main spell.
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 McGinnis
The engineer. McGinnis wins by making the battlefield hers before the fight.
- 01Destroy turrets before fighting near them.
- 02Walk around Spectral Wall’s edge rather than through it.
- 03Dive her; she’s slow while casting Heavy Barrage.
