How Paige beats Baba

Your game plan as Paige

A bookish support who shields her carry and floods the city with knights.

Lane
Plot Armor on your lane partner gives them a barrier and damage. Bookwyrm pokes and zones.
Mid game
Captivating Read slows, then immobilises. Set it up before the fight starts.
Late game
Rallying Charge crosses the entire map: heal allies and damage enemies in every lane.

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.
