User-friendly: 6/10
Damage: 6/10
Survivability: 7.5/10
Likelihood of defeating Edgar: 3/5
Odds mostly in Bibi's favour, but not entirely. However, Bibi can repel Edgars with her home run knockback :)Box-breaking abilities: 4/5
Excellent damage and reload, accompanied with multiple-target damage. Deletes boxes in 3-4 hits. Decent bulk and knockback ability also benefits her rushing mid.
Solo Showdown: 7/10 Pretty good brawler and decent tank in solos, just not the best. Pretty good brawler who can work wonders if played right.Bibi had been pretty decent in the solo meta game for a long time running now- she's always been excellent as a solo tank, not super good (like Buzz) but not unviable either. She's just there (and has been there for like a year).
Best build:
Gadget: Vitamin Booster
Bibi heals 600 health per second for 4.0 seconds.
Not much competition here, healing is the way to go. Free 2400 health is amazing. It has so much utility and you can pretty much use it in any low-health situation. Slow is kind of useless, compared to the benefits of heal.
(They should make the slow baseline 😭 Cryingman ranked her as the 10th worst brawler in his recent video, she really needs a buff)Star power: Batting Stance
When Bibi's Homerun bar is fully charged, she shields herself from all damage by 20%.
Personally I prefer this one, but the other one is decent too. 20% shield - more survivability - excellent. The other one makes you faster then you already are, making it super easy to dodge shots, so it's also viable.Gears: damage and speed, probably (alternatively, use shield/ health if you want to be a pure tank)
Damage. All solo brawlers love damage.
Speed is good on Bibi (but only on bushy maps!)
If it's not a bushy map, use shield instead ;-;Bibi just exists as a decent brawler in solos. She's a tank, has good speed and also has decent damage. These qualities alone are enough to warrant usage in solos, but she also has a defensive ability in the form of home run. The knockback may save your life if you time it nicely [it's also excellent in repelling Buzz super!] (but first swing has some delay, so you need to fire before you get attacked, which requires SKILL).
Main Attack: Three swings
Deals pretty average damage as a tank, but attack has a little hit of delay before firing (around 1.3 secs). The delay is similar to Ash's shot delay, and she can still move and do other things while winding up. Hits for 1969 at power 9 and 2100 at power 11. Also has a really big hitbox (melee, but has a 150 degree spread :0)
Although she is melee, I heavily suggest you manually aim with her. You can fire off your attack before someone gets in your range once you get used to her attack delay.-tip: it's actually possible to kill Bibi as Mortis. The best way to fight Bibi (as a melee brawler ofc, or else you can just outrange her) is to get really close to her. It's harder for her to hit you that way because you can use her Attack delay to get out of the direction she aims at.
-tip: you can interrupt her attack.Special ability: Home Run
When her ammo bar is full, she gets a bar that charges in 2 seconds, which is her Home Run bar. Her next attack knocks enemies back, which is good for defending yourself against assassins. A timely attack could save your life.
Be careful when going offensive though, as the knockback easily backfires, knocking enemies out of your range. For this reason, I suggest knocking enemies against walls if you want to kill them. This disorients opponents and basically stuns them for a short while since they can't do much while being knocked. Also, knocking the entire lobby in endgames usually results in auto-aim fest, so that's an applicable strategy if you wanna get everybody to kill each other.Super: spit bubble
She gets her super in 3 hits, which means you'll be getting it fairly often. Fires a large circular projectile that bounces off walls and has a lot of range. Use it to finish off brawlers that are running away, or get some extra damage using double bubble. I suggest you aim it between walls so the bubble can hit multiple timesLike these, for instance. Just try to give it more value than a single projectile.
Special skills: Double Bubble
(home run +super)
Learning to hit bubble twice is an important skill in mastering Bibi (and frankly, it's still quite hard to pull off).
Through timing your home run shot and supering perfectly, the opponent is knocked back as the bubble goes through the opponent, dealing damage twice. Extra dmg is always good, especially since Bibi bubble doesn't do that much damage. This is kinda hard to explain, so I suggest going on YouTube and watching tutorials on hitting double bubble. Practice in the training cave first, then on bots, and eventually use it in a real game if you're confident. :DCounters and how to not die
Fear all tank counters. And Primos.
You'd best team with other Bibis. They aren't likely to backstab (and its actually quite hard for Bibi to backstab because it takes her time, so you're pretty much safe until you take damage).How to team:
Other Bibis = friend
Other Tanks = possible friend
Primo = friend only if you don't have other option
Buzz = be very carefulAbout Primo:
His super is a little bit dangerous, so keep your guard up if you're dealing with multiple Primos/Primos with lots of cubes. If you get hit by his super, you're pretty much done for (assuming you don't have a powercube advantage)About tank counters:
Need I say more?Scorched Stone is probably the best one for pushing Bibi. Idk, but Hard Limits might work too because I've seen lots of Bibis there.
Scorched Stone:
Pretty good for Bibi. She can rush mid easily, walls, solid coverage.Hard Limits:
-Tanks
-very easy middle
-WALLS (UNBREAKABLE!)How to counter:
-1. Keep your distance, or get as close as possible
(If you outrange her, don't get close. If you don't outrange her, get really close so she has a high probability to miss her shot.)
-2. Don't get knocked against a wall
Certain deathMetas
Bibi meta still exists. Most of the time, they're friendly, and there's no infestation on a specific map (like Eve meta, it was impossible to play).Happy April fools :) Willows gonna be released soon, can't wait to walk people into the storm (though she's not going to be very good in solo).
