Star Power: Honeycomb — Damage reduction on your first hit taken gives you the chance to land your charged shot.

- With your Honey Molasses gadget that slows him down plus your charged shot you focus Poco: Poco can barely defend himself.
- With your Honey Molasses gadget that slows him down plus your charged shot you focus Gus: Gus is fragile once his shield is gone.

Draft advice
Bea is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.
Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.
When not to pick
Skip Bea when the map layout works against the marksman role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
