Introduction

Bebop like a lot of characters struggles when behind, but when you are even or preferably ahead you can be the real playmaker and shot caller on the team just because of the power of the Hook. The other side of that coin is that you have the potential to throw the game. Hook the Dynamo with Ult, the unkillable Shiv, the ulting Silver and you will have a bad time. Learning who you can and can't fight is key and unfortunately only comes with practice. The good news is I am sure whatever hook your team complained about was sick. Below I'll go through the major builds I have and discuss how they should be played, their advantages and disadvantages, and my general thoughts on their playstyles.1 items

Bombbop (ID: 234272)

Bomb is very feast or famine. If lane goes terribly and you can’t get stacks you either should pivot into an Ult build, or if you stick it out you need to be careful. If you’re playing Bomb from behind stick with your teammates, never pick fights alone, buy utility items like Curse or Knockdown. Always try your best to show up to team fights (assuming your team can feasibly win said fight) unless you’ll lose an objective for it. All it takes is one good fight and your stacks will be back. If you’re playing ahead on stacks keep stacking damage items, use your Ult to push guardians in other lanes early game and turn your early advantage into more stacks.0 items

Punchbop (ID: 568395)

This is my favorite way to play Bebop and has been for the last 8 months or so. Punchbop is a very reliable workhorse, and doesn't suffer from the same swinginess as Bomb builds. While even or ahead on souls you can take on most 1v1's and come out on top. Additionally, due to being very slot efficient even when you are behind you can be more of a utility player for the team, buying CC options. However, all of this comes down to whether you are good at baiting out parries or not. It is a major learning curve, and using Heavy Melee Cancel is critical. Just because you get parried once doesn't mean the fight is necessarily lost, but Punchbop is for the real risk takers. There is not a better high in this game than juggling an enemy with your Upperccut and Hook, throwing out nuclear punches until they die. Unfortunately, Punchbop does not have the same late game damage potential that Bomb does, and can leave you feeling like a Hookbot as the game goes on.0 items

Beambop (ID: 454417)

I think this is the chillest way to play Bebop and what I would recommend for a new Bebop player to be honest. I don't think Beambop has as much potential as Punch or Bomb, but it pays off for being pretty easy to pick up. Hyper Beam has really high DPS early game and as the game goes on, items like Lightning Scroll ccan provide great value to the team. Beambop is pretty easily countered with items like Knockdown, but it's nothing Unstoppable can't solve. Additionally, some games which have a really good start will lead to you getting a lot of Bomb stacks anyway, so it can give you an idea of what Bomb build feels like, but it doesn't reach the same peak as pure Bombbop I would say0 items

Conclusion

I like Bebop a lot. His character design, personality, kit. All of it. I don't think he is particularly difficult to pick up, since Hook is the only real skillshot that you need to practice. Despite him not being technical he can still be very mentally taxing to play, especially Bombbop or Punchbop. It's a constant juggling of stacks vs. souls, bait vs. melee. You are one good fight away from success or one parry away from disaster. To be good at Bebop is to be a gambler. You are gambling every game that you are just straight up better, that you can learn your opponents habits and exploit them. You are a prediction machine and you will learn to anticipate Pocket exiting their case, the flight path of Vindicta, and the arc of Lash's dive. You will feel what is coming, you will Hook them, and they will die. That's what makes Bebop so addicting.0 items
