How Drifter beats Bebop

Assassin vs Brawler

Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.

Your game plan as Drifter

A stalker who marks a target and then makes sure no one can save them.

Lane
Rend in close range for bonus melee damage. Stalker’s Mark bleeds; re-activate it to pounce.
Mid game
Hunt the hero your team can’t reach. Marked targets running away are still in trouble.
Late game
Eternal Night blinds the enemy team to everything around them. Engage the moment it’s up.

How to beat Bebop

The hook. Bebop decides fights by dragging one hero into five.

  • 01Stand behind troopers; Grapple Arm grabs the first character it hits.
  • 02Punish the 23-second Grapple cooldown — he has no other gap-closer.
  • 03Interrupt or out-range Hyper Beam; it’s a channel, not a burst.
  • 04Don’t let him stack Sticky Bomb hits early.
