DeadlockDeadlock Bebop Guide and Overview

Bebop is Deadlock's signature hook character who provides a ton of playmaking potential with creative combo capabilities.

He has a lot of other tools outside of his hook, like an AoE bomb and laser beams, so there are actually a number of ways to play him.

Strengths

• Among best in class for making picks.

• Oppressive laning phase, one of the best denyers due to left-click ease and hook pressure.

• Great toolset for roaming and ganking other lanes.

Weaknesses

• Loses a lot of threat if hook is on cooldown.

• Struggles against enemies with high mobility and stamina.

• Fighting in areas that are too open or have a lot of cover.

Underlined = Scales with Spirit

Exploding Uppercut (1)
Deal Light Melee damage to nearby units and send them flying back, causing area damage where they land. Does not damage allies.
0 Uppercut Damage	14m Landing Radius	21s CD
80 Area Damage

Maxing Exploding Uppercut unlocks your combo potential with more uppercuts, additional buffs to make you more deadly, and instant Hook resets.

For example, you can do Hook → Bomb → Uppercut → Hook --> Charged Punch to really devastate a single target

Tips for Exploding Uppercut

• This is Bebop’s most versatile ability, it can be used to knock enemies toward your team for an easy pick, it can be used defensively to protect your allies, to knock bombed-attached Troopers to your enemies, and so on.

Sticky Bomb (2)
Attach a Sticky Bomb to a nearby target that deals explosive damage after a short fuse time. Gain +2.5% bomb damage for every enemy hero hit. You can cast Sticky Bomb on yourself using [M3].
6m Range	12m Radius	19s CD
120 Damage	3s Fuse Time

Maxing Sticky Bomb lets you bomb more often, increases its base damage, and unlocks disarm debuffs.

Tips for Sticky Bomb

• Adapt your bomb gameplan according to the context of your game. If you have an ally that gets up close and personal easily like Abrams and Yamato, consider attaching the bomb to them for easy delivery.

• Do whatever you need to do to keep those Stacks stackin'!

Hook (3)
Launch out a hook that grabs and reels in the first enemy or friendly hero it hits, dealing damage if the target is an enemy. Target will be placed where you are facing.
30m Range	40 Damage	23s CD

Maxing Hook emphasizes Bebop’s playmaking ability with increased damage to hooked enemies, almost double the cast range, and a base 10 second cooldown to really let you spam them.

Tips for Power Surge

• Just like Roadhog in Overwatch, make sure to swing in the direction you want your opponent to be after you hook them.

• You can also use it to pull in an ally for an engage or to save them from a bad situation, just keep in mind it will cancel channels like Seven’s ultimate.

Hyper Beam (4)
Charge up your laser to unleash a powerful torrent of energy that deals damage and slows enemies' movement and dashes. You have slow movement and turn rate for the duration. If activated in the air, you will hover while unleashing the beam.
8s Duration	2.9m Beam Width	130s CD
205 DPS	70m Beam Length	On Hit: 30% Movement Slow

Maxing Hyper Beam gives you a more long-range build (since using Hyper Beam at close range is difficult). You’ll be able to get a huge -40s cooldown reduction, additional DPS, and even some healing.

Tips for Hyper Beam

• Use items like Majestic Leap to help you get better vantage points and firing angles.
