How Deadman Danny beats Baba
Marksman vs Mystic
Out-range their spells and poke between casts.
Your game plan as Deadman Danny
A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.
Lane
Lay Strix Salvo along the lane: the missiles explode when an enemy comes near and mark them, and a charged shot on a marked target deals bonus damage and slows.
Mid game
Chimera Mk1 is your mobility and your engage. Fly in, and when it overheats, dive into enemies to launch them. Miss every hero and you stun yourself.
Late game
Close The Deal grabs one enemy and carries them into the air for heavy damage that is stronger under 50% health. Save it for a carry who is already hurt.
How to beat Baba
A chaotic hex-caster who turns fights into a mess of silences, slows and stolen Spirit.
- 01Interrupt the Feed The Birds channel; the payoff only lands when it ends.
- 02Track Brew’s cycle. Don’t fight inside the puddle when it’s about to silence.
- 03Pressure Baba early, before Threadsap snowballs her Spirit.
