How Billy beats Mirage

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.

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 Mirage

A traveller who keeps fights alive with scarabs and arrives where you least expect.

  • 01Interrupt Traveler with damage; it cancels.
  • 02Watch for Mirage arriving from nowhere.
  • 03Anti-heal against scarab lifesteal.
