Billy Checklist Before You Queue
- Need cleaner target routing: Build 1.
- Need structured gen interception: Build 2.
- Need chain-down threat against grouped teams: Build 3.
- Need brute anti-pallet chase help: Build 4.
- Need anti-window reliability: Build 5.
Drill-Style Play Notes
Drill 1: Hook Exit
After every hook, call destination in one second. If you hesitate, you already lost tempo.
Drill 2: Saw Economy
Use mobility for map leverage, not only for downs. Crossing map with intent is value.
Drill 3: Chase Break Discipline
If chase moves into a low-value corner and no gen threat exists there, break and rotate.
Drill 4: Window Timing
Do not hold Pop/Tinkerer value "for later." Billy wins by immediate conversion.
Optional Replacements
- Build 1: Nowhere to Hide -> Tinkerer if you prefer threshold alerts.
- Build 2: Deadlock -> Nowhere to Hide if you need faster re-contact tools.
- Build 3: Infectious Fright -> Ultimate Weapon for broader info spikes.
- Build 4: Barbecue & Chilli -> Deadlock when macro stability is weak.
- Build 5: Pop Goes the Weasel -> Grim Embrace for hook-driven blocks.
