How Mina beats Baba

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

Your game plan as Mina

A harasser who bites you to death with spirit damage you never quite dodge.

Lane
Every bullet adds spirit damage; abilities build up Love Bites. Harass constantly.
Mid game
Sanguine Retreat makes you untargetable and moves you, so it works as both your escape and your engage.
Late game
Nox Nostra seeks targets and silences them. Cast it into a grouped team before they can use abilities.

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.
