Billy Kid Kit Overview

How to Use Billy

• Step 1: Excels in Crowd Control
• Step 2: Use Crouching Shot for Increased DMG
• Step 3: Long-Range Firearms Attack from a Safe Distance

Excels in Crowd Control

Most of Billy's kit, from his Basic Attacks to his Dodge Attacks and even his Assists and Chain Attacks, all specialize in dealing Physical DMG in a radius. This makes him an excellent unit for when you're going up against large crowds of enemies.

Use Crouching Shot for Increased DMG

Holding down the Basic Attack button changes Billy's attacks via his Crouching Shot ability. Letting go of the Basic Attack button during Crouching Shot will launch a Finishing Shot, which deals more DMG.

During Crouching Shot, move Billy to any direction to launch a Rolling Shot that deals Physical DMG to enemies while repositioning him.

Long-Range Firearms Attack from a Safe Distance

Another neat thing about Billy's gameplay is that he can reach opponents from far away thanks to his dual pistols.

Should you find yourself fighting against a powerful boss or opponents who like to maintain distance, Billy will be able to reach them no problem!
