How Holliday beats Billy

Marksman vs Brawler

Keep the range. Stay behind troopers, kite backwards, and save your escape for their gap-closer.

Your game plan as Holliday

A trick-shooter. Holliday launches you into the air and then shoots you out of it.

Lane
Powder Keg knocks up and burns; shoot it to detonate it early. Crackshot headshots slow.
Mid game
Bounce Pad gives your team rotations and you an explosive landing.
Late game
Spirit Lasso pulls and stuns; Bounce Pad first extends it. Lasso the carry into your team.

How to beat Billy

A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.

  • 01Keep him off you; Billy wants melee range for everything.
  • 02Don’t pull against Chain Gang; straining the chain slows you hard.
  • 03Bait Rising Ram, then fight while it’s on full cooldown.
