How Yamato beats Bebop

Assassin vs Brawler

Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.

Your game plan as Yamato

A blade who commits fully — and refreshes everything when she does.

Lane
Power Slash charges for a big hit. Crimson Slash heals on hero hits.
Mid game
Flying Slash grapples to an enemy and slows them.
Late game
Shadow Transformation refreshes your abilities and makes them faster. This is your all-in.

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.
