How Shiv beats Bebop

Brawler vs Brawler

A brawler mirror is about who commits second. Both of you want close range, so the hero who lands crowd control on the other’s engage wins the trade. Keep stamina for a disengage and fight near your troopers.

Your game plan as Shiv

A dirty fighter who bleeds you, defers his own damage and finishes you with an execute.

Lane
Mid game
Bloodletting defers damage you take. Dive, then clear it once you’re safe.
Late game
Killing Blow executes targets below a health threshold. Build rage and finish.

How to beat Bebop

The hook. Bebop decides fights by dragging one hero into five.

  • 01Stand behind troopers; Grapple Arm grabs the first character it hits.
  • 02Punish the 23-second Grapple cooldown — he has no other gap-closer.
  • 03Interrupt or out-range Hyper Beam; it’s a channel, not a burst.
  • 04Don’t let him stack Sticky Bomb hits early.
