Billy Kid Best Teams and Bangboo

Billy F2P Team

Billy is the main DPS. Nicole provides DEF shred and crowd control while Anby offers daze/shock utility and helps enable core passives.
Good F2P-friendly comp that activates core passives and focuses Billy's damage output.

Billy Premium Team

Billy remains the primary DPS while Dialyn increases Ultimate uptime and applies daze; Nicole provides DEF shred and grouping. Strong premium option to boost Billy's damage via debuffs.

Billy Kid Skill Priority

Billy's damage as DPS comes mostly from his Basic Attack, so aim to upgrade this first. If you have extra materials, go for his Chain Attack as he can spray a decent amount of AoE damage around him with his Ultimate. Lastly, upgrade his Core Skill when able.
