Bibi

Class: Tank

Rarity: Epic

Trio: Retropolis with Bull and Crow

Best skin: Thor Bibi

Title: "Cool Cat"

Prestige Title: "Grand Slam"

​

Bibi is a tank with a fast movement speed, solid damage output, and even a knockback with her main attack. However, her attack has very short range and a long windup. Her hypercharge is the strongest part of her kit, allowing her to easily get teamwipes if near enemies or walls.

​

Health: 5000 to 10000

Movement speed: Very Fast

​

Main Attack: Three Strikes

"Bibi swings her baseball bat. Once her Home Run bar is fully charged, her next swing will knock back enemies!"

Damage: 1400 to 2800

Range: Short

Reload speed: Very Fast

Bibi has a short-ranged main attack with a delay can be charged up to deal knockback. It knocks back enemies very far, so you need to be careful with it so you don't knock enemies out of her short range. The damage is pretty good, however her range is incredibly short and the delay is very long. The knockback is great for interrupting enemy attacks and allowing you to take position from them. Bibi can also move during her attack delay, meaning she needs to commit to each attack or else it won't it. You can also use it to pre-fire your attack to make the delay more negligible.

​

Super: Stunning Blow

"Bibi bats a bouncing ball of bubble gum that can go through enemies, and even hit the same target multiple times!"

Damage: 900 to 1800

Range: Very Long

Bibi's super is almost the complete opposite of her attack: It has a very long range, fires out instantly, but doesn't deal much damage. It actually lasts a certain amount of time rather than going a certain distance. It also bounces off walls, making it best used in a space with a lot of walls so it can hit enemies multiple times.​

​

Gadget 1: Vitamin Booster

"Bibi heals 1000 health per second for 4.0 seconds."

Cooldown: 20 seconds

This is a great gadget for Bibi, providing her with a ton of extra passive healing over time. It can be used pretty much off cooldown, since Bibi will often be taking damage, and she relies on the healing a lot to survive interactions.

​

Gadget 2: Super Sticky

"Bibi throws bubble gum that slows all enemies in it by 20%. "

Cooldown: 21 seconds

This gadget allows Bibi to provide some area control on the map, slowing enemies by a decent amount. However, it doesn't really synergize with her kit as a speedy tank, and has a long cooldown as well, making it not too useful.​

​

Star Power 1: Home Run

"Bibi's movement speed is increased by 12% when her Home Run bar is fully charged."

This is a pretty solid star power, as Bibi can essentially have a permanent movement speed boost. This allows her to dodge more shots and get into range a lot easier.

​

Star Power 2: Batting Stance

"When Bibi's Homerun bar is fully charged, she shields herself from all damage by 20%."

This is a similar star power to her other one, as it essentially makes her have an infinite shield if she doesn't attack. However, she will be taking the most damage when she is engaging on an enemy, meaning she won't have her shield up when she needs it most. This does have more use in bushy maps however, as you need the shield to avoid getting bursted down too quickly, and you can get a speed boost from the speed gear.

​

Hypercharge: Out of Bounds

"Bibi's bouncing ball splits when hitting an enemy"

Charge rate: 2 and 1/2 supers

Bibi's hypercharge is the best part of her kit, charging fast and  allowing her to chain multiple supers and deal a ton of damage since her bubble splits into 2. The stat boosts she gains are also really good for her to run down even more enemies. It is best used in closed spaces, similar to her normal super, as the bounces allow for a lot more damage on multiple enemies.

​​

Gear selection:

Bibi's best gear is damage gear, as it allows her attacks and super to deal significantly more burst damage at low HP, and makes her much more of a threat to deal with. For her second gear, shield or health are both great depending on your playstyle with Bibi. Use shield gear if you are more aggressive, and health gear if you are more passive. Speed is also occasionally useful on bushy maps combined with her Batting Stance star power.

Best Matchups:

Bibi is great at running down low damage brawlers with her extremely fast movement speed and high health. Brawlers such as Mr. P struggle to take her down in a 1v1 interaction. Her knockback also gives great utility against brawlers who don't like to be interrupted, such as Hank and Carl, as her knockback cancels Hank's main attack and Carl's super, making them much easier for her and her team to deal with.

​

Best Counters:

Bibi is weak against anti-tanks that sport a high amount of crowd control, as they can potentially interrupt her attack, leading to her not dealing any damage. Brawlers such as Lou, Surge, and El Primo can chain crowd control her once they get the chance, making her pretty much useless against them, just being a super and hypercharge feeder.

​

Best Game Modes: 

Bibi's best mode is Brawl Ball, as its fast paced gameplay allows her to get multiple hypercharges in a game, and it is a mode where tanks like her also thrive since they can walk the ball in easily with their high HP and speed. Bibi can also keep her star power's buffs while holding the ball, making her a great walking goal scorer. Bibi can also be decent in Gem Grab, since she can play more passively than most tanks with her knockback, and can change the game with her hypercharge. Bibi is also a viable tank in Heist with her high damage output, speed, and her super can also deal a lot of damage on the safe if positioned correctly.

​

Tips and Tricks:

• Since Bibi's attack has a delay, you can use your attack before the enemy is in range so you don't have the delay while you are in combat.

• Try to knockback enemy brawlers into walls, as you won't be able to kill them if you knock them back into nothing since they will be out of your range.

• If you knockback a brawler at the same time you use your super, you can get the bubble to hit an enemy brawler twice, which is very useful. The timing is hard to get down, however, so it is recommended to practice this in the training cave.

• Be aware of how much ammo the enemy has when engaging with Bibi, as she is prone to getting bursted down easily. Engage when the enemy is low on ammo to give you a greater chance of winning the interaction.

• Use Bibi's knockback more passively in certain scenarios to force back opponents and take position on the map.

• You can also use Bibi's knockback to interrupt certain abilities, which is very useful considering she can do it with just her main attack.

• Try to save your ammo until you are low HP, as you attack much faster when you are low. You can use this to catch the enemy off guard with your damage.​

• An important trick when playing Bibi is using her attacks around walls. Start your main attack when you are behind a wall, then quickly move outside the wall when your attack fires out to knockback enemies trying to wallpeek and move back behind the wall. Since Bibi's attack is instant after the delay, this can lead to her being vulnerable for only a fraction of a second, making her one of the best wallpeekers in the game if played right.

• Know when to play Bibi as a passive or aggressive tank. Play aggressive when you know the enemy can't take you down, chaining supers, hypercharges and dealing a ton of damage and taking space with your main attacks. Play passive against high damage comps, going in for a knockback and retreating.

• Bibi's bubble fires out instantly, making it useful for securing kills against enemies within its damage threshold since her main attack has a delay.

• When using Bibi's hypercharge, it is incredibly important to hit the initial bubble, since if you don't, the bubble won't split, which is the main value this hypercharge provides.
