• Use throwers or long range to hit him from outside his trap zone.
• Spread out. His arrows explode in an area at the end of their range.

Game plan

Bo fires three arrows that explode at the end of their range, and his Super places three hidden traps that explode when an enemy steps on them. He controls choke points and objectives by turning the ground into a minefield.

1. Place traps on paths enemies must use: the goal, the gem mine, the zone or a narrow choke.
2. Aim so the arrows explode on the target. They deal their damage at the end of their range.
3. Use the traps to protect yourself. An assassin who dives you through a trap gets stopped.

Drafting Bo

When to pick

Pick Bo in Brawl Ball, Hot Zone and Gem Grab where objectives have predictable paths.

Who to pair with

Pair him with high-damage brawlers who punish stunned targets.

Ban or not

Rarely worth a ban. Throwers that hit him from outside his trap zone handle him.
