How Kelvin beats Billy

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 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.

Laning

Win the lane: Kelvin into Billy

  1. 01Farm is close (+3.8 last hits per match), so trades decide this lane, not last hits.
  2. 02Billy wants close range. Keep troopers between you, save stamina for a dash out, and punish them when they over-commit.
  3. 03Your own sustain (Frost Grenade, Frozen Shelter) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
