How Kelvin beats Baba
Your game plan as Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
Lane
Frost Grenade trades and heals your partner at once. Arctic Beam slows and reduces fire rate.
Mid game
Ice Path is the best rotation tool in the game. Use it to carry your team to objectives.
Late game
Frozen Shelter blocks everything: dome your carry, or dome a fight to split it.
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.
