How Billy beats Viscous

Brawler vs Brawler

A brawler mirror is about who commits second. Both of you want close range, so the hero who lands crowd control on the other’s engage wins the trade. Keep stamina for a disengage and fight near your troopers.

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.
