How Billy beats Sinclair

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.
