How Rem beats Kelvin

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 Kelvin

A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.

  • 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
  • 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
  • 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
