How Rem beats Calico

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 Calico

A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.

  • 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
  • 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
  • 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.
