"Bibi is a tough punk with a baseball bat and an attitude to match. She's a bit of a nerd too, but she'd never show it. She's got an image to maintain!"
Bibi is an EpicBrawler who has high health, a potentially high damage output, and a very fast movement speed, but a short range. Bibi attacks by swinging her baseball bat in a wide and close-ranged arc. She charges her Home Run bar by having all ammo, and charging it makes her next attack knock enemies back. Bibi's Super sends out a bubble that keeps traveling and bouncing off walls until it disappears. Her first Gadget, Vitamin Booster, heals her over time. Her second Gadget, Extra Sticky, allows her next Super to slow enemies. Her first Star Power, Home Run, increases her movement speed when her Home Run bar is charged. Her second Star Power, Batting Stance, grants her a shield when her Home Run Bar is charged. Her Hypercharge, Out of Bounds, allows her Super to split into two bubbles when it hits a target.
Attack: Three Strikes
"Bibi swings her baseball bat. When she has three swings at the ready, her Home Run bar will charge. Once fully charged, her next swing will knock back enemies!"
Bibi swings with her baseball bat, hitting enemies in a wide, 150 degree arc. The attack, much like Frank's, Ash's, Fang's, Draco's, and Shade's, takes time to wind up, at 0.6 seconds. However, she isn’t immobile while attacking and there isn’t any travel time, so the attack instantly takes effect after the delay. In addition, if Bibi's ammo bars are full, her Home Run bar begins to charge. Her Home Run bar takes 2 seconds to charge up, and when fully charged, it causes Bibi's next attack to knock enemies back 4 tiles. However, its damage output remains the same. Kicking the ball in Brawl Ball with her Home Run bar charged will reset the bar, but won't affect the distance the ball travels.
Super: Spitball
"Bibi bats a bouncing ball of bubble gum that can go through enemies, and even hit the same target multiple times!"
Bibi sends out a large bubble that keeps travelling until it disappears after 4 seconds. This bubble is able to pierce through enemies and bounce off walls. Using her Super again while the previous one is active won’t cancel either bubble.
Gadgets
Vitamin Booster
"Bibi heals 960 health per second for 4.0 seconds."
By using this Gadget, Bibi heals 3840 health over 4 seconds, or 960 health per second. This Gadget can be activated when Bibi is at full health. This Gadget's cooldown begins after the active duration of the Gadget ends.
Extra Sticky
"Bibi’s next Spitball slows down enemies on hit for 3 seconds!"
Activating this Gadget allows Bibi's next Super to slow down enemies it hits for 3 seconds. If an enemy is hit multiple times before the slow disappears, the slow won't stack, but the duration resets. A Gadget symbol will glow above Bibi's head signaling this Gadget's usage, as well as a glowing Super joystick. This Gadget's cooldown starts after she uses her Super. Using this Gadget while Hypercharged will not cancel the splitting effect her Hypercharged Super has. This Gadget's cooldown begins after the attack is used.
Star Powers
Home Run
"Bibi's movement speed is increased by 12% when her Home Run bar is fully charged."
When Bibi's Home Run bar is full, her movement speed is increased from 820 points to 920 points. A sound effect plays to indicate that this Star Power is active. However, Bibi moves normally again after using her Home Run swing.
Batting Stance
"When Bibi's Homerun bar is fully charged, she shields herself from all damage by 20%."
When Bibi's Home Run Bar is full, she gains a shield that reduces all damage she takes by 20%. A sound effect plays to indicate that this Star Power is active. The shield disappears after Bibi uses her Home Run swing.
Hypercharge: Out of Bounds
"Bibi's bouncing ball splits when hitting an enemy"
When activated, Bibi's Super splits into two large bubbles upon hitting a target, which travel angled to the left and right, and deal the same amount of damage. They travel for 33.33 tiles after the split. She also gains a 25% shield boost, a 24% speed boost, as well as a 5% damage boost.
Tips
Game Modes and Maps
In Brawl Ball, Bibi can knock the ball out of an enemy’s grasp, allowing her to steal the ball or prevent enemies from scoring a goal. This makes her an excellent goalkeeper of some sort because she can protect the goal as well as grab the ball and kick it away with her fast movement speed and fast reload speed. In addition, both of her Star Powers are useful in Brawl Ball. Her Home Run Star Power allows Bibi to reach the ball or reach the enemy team's goal much faster when her Home Run Bar is full. Her Batting Stance Star Power allows her to take less damage, which is useful when enemies are attempting to steal the ball from her or when she needs to walk the ball into the enemy goal. In addition, Bibi is also useful for pushing forward on the enemy team, as when her Home Run Bar is full, she can push the enemies back, leaving them little room to defend your attack.
In Payload, try to play passive-aggressive to prevent the enemy team from getting 100%. Most likely, one of your teammates will stay at your payload to gain progress, but if not then stay at your cart and always try to stay behind your cart as Bibi’s attack can go through the Payload, like Jacky‘s attack. When Bibi’s Home Run Bar is fully charged, this can help prevent enemies from getting to your cart or stop their own progression.
You can increase the effectiveness of her Home Run's knockback mechanic in Events with Modifiers active. For instance, Bibi can knock targets towards the destination of Meteors or away from Healing Mushrooms and Energy Drinks.
In maps with the Energy Drink Modifier, Bibi can hide in a bush near an energy drink. When an enemy approaches it, get out of the bush and knock the enemy back, collecting the Energy Drink in the process. Unless the enemy in question has a large amount of Power Cubes, Bibi can finish off the enemy with the damage boost.
Recommended Build
In most cases, Vitamin Booster is a better choice. It is able to provide significant healing for Bibi and increases her survivability greatly. She can use the Gadget to get back into the fight fast, or use it when fighting Brawlers with insufficient burst damage at melee range. While Extra Sticky can slow down enemies, her super is usually not used as a long-range aggressive projectile due to its somewhat slow travel speed and inefficient damage. Even if the enemy is slowed, Bibi struggles to get up close to them, especially if she is facing long-ranged Brawlers like Piper, Brock, Angelo, Bea, Colt, Rico, Mandy, and Nani, who can deal significant damage from afar and protect themselves if Bibi gets close. Overall, Vitamin Booster is a better choice.
Both Star Powers are useful. Home Run can improve Bibi's movement speed significantly, make it a good choice in Brawl Ball and other modes where speed is required. Batting Stance can shield Bibi from some damage, and she can use this to get closer to the enemy or retreat with more ease. It depends on the mode and map to choose.
Strategies
As Bibi's attack requires a while for its full animation to take place, in Brawl Ball you can time your attack animation to begin just as you pick up the ball, essentially allowing you to deal damage while maintaining control. This is effective if you are facing off aggressive opponents at low health, and if your Home Run bar is full, it is also useful to fend off tanks such as Bull, whose play styles mainly revolve around quick assassinations and thus are likely to be near unattended balls, especially in bushes.
Using her Super directly after starting the swing to knock an enemy back can result in the bubble hitting them twice, usually securing a defeat against low-health Brawlers. The timing is difficult and requires practice.
When fighting another Bibi, you can start your attack before you get in range, and because Bibi's attack takes time to take effect, you can knockback or hit the opposing Bibi before their swing goes off. You can see that the enemy Bibi's Brawler model leans a little as the enemy starts to attack, which you can use to help time your attack or to retreat. This same mechanic of knocking the enemy back before you get in range can be applied when fighting other Brawlers. It takes a bit of practice to learn the correct timing, but using this trick greatly increases your skill and ability with Bibi.
Other
Bibi's ability to knock enemies back when her Home Run bar is charged can be used to avoid contact from short-ranged Brawlers, which allows you to escape, and to stop dangerous attacks and Supers before they fully execute, like the Supers of Frank and Carl.
Knocking enemies back can also be a disadvantage if she pushes them away from enemy fire, especially for medium to long-ranged Brawlers who can still hit her from that greater distance, and it’s especially dangerous to you for certain Brawlers that deal more damage in mid-long range such as Emz. It is useful to work out in advance if using the knockback is beneficial in a certain situation, and to either discard the knockback by attacking the air, or conserving ammo and storing the knock back ability. You can deliberately discard your knockback from a charged Home Run bar by swinging Bibi's bat prematurely, if your next move is to only attack enemies which you don't want to knockback. In order to avoid helping a target escape from her Home Run’s knockback, Bibi can knock them into a nearby wall and then go up to them and defeat them.
Bibi's knockback, just like Gale’s Super, can be used to push enemies away from vital objectives of the gamemode or pushing enemies away from teammates. For example, she can knock defending enemies away from either yours or the enemies' safe in Heist, she can knock back the bot in Siege or knock enemies' away from their IKE, to knock enemies' away from the bolts in Siege, knock enemies' away the the goal or ball in Brawl Ball, the zone in Hot Zone, the gems in Gem Grab, or the blue star in Bounty.
If aimed correctly, Bibi's Super can repeatedly bounce off walls to deal a lot of damage to a safe in walled maps such as Turnaround. Her Super is also able to bounce off of the other wall edge and hit an IKE turret twice in Siege while being out of the IKE’s range. Her Super is also useful to defeat low-health Brawlers.
She no longer uses her Home Run bar when using her Super to kick the ball in Brawl Ball.
