Bebop’s main threat#
Bebop is a initiator: creates the opening that wins the fight — usually by pulling or locking down one target.
The kit is spirit-leaning, so spirit resistance and spirit shields do the most to blunt it.
Abilities to play around#
Ability 1
Exploding Uppercut
Launches nearby enemies into the air with knockback and melee damage. Targets that land deal spirit damage and slow the fire rate of other nearby enemies.
Play around it Disable or displacement — this is what starts kills. Track its cooldown and punish the window after it’s used; Debuff Reducer shortens it, and Unstoppable or Indomitable answer the biggest ones.
Play around it Slows — Enduring Speed and Debuff Reducer help you walk out of it.
Ability 2
Sticky Bomb
Attaches a bomb to a nearby target that explodes after a short delay for spirit damage. Hitting or killing heroes with it grants permanent bonus bomb damage stacks.
Play around it Respect its range and cooldown; fight when it’s been used.
Ability 3
Grapple Arm
Fires a mechanical hand that pulls the first character it hits toward Bebop. It also works on allies.
