How Rem beats Apollo

Your game plan as Rem

A tiny helper whose team never quite dies.

Lane
Pillow Toss knocks back and reduces your other cooldowns. Lil Helpers collect boxes and do Sinner’s Sacrifices.
Mid game
Tag Along hops onto an ally and heals both of you.
Late game
Naptime stops movement abilities in a line through walls — follow it with your team’s burst.

How to beat Apollo

A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.

  • 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
  • 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
  • 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.

Win the lane: Rem into Apollo

  3. 03Your own sustain (Tag Along) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
