§ Breakdown [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

Beat's overhealth is not HP but a decaying protective layer, so it is not ride it and then close — layering it on at the exact moment you close is everything. It works as a safety net when Rush/Dive has to force its way across open long-range sightlines, or when you are going in to break Suzu/Trance, and unlike a dry ult its biggest value is closing the distance with your damage ults still banked. Plenty of teams use Beat as the starting gun for the fight.

When to Use [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

When the main tank has to close a long distance in a Rush/Dive comp. When you want to force out the enemy Suzu/Immortality. As the entry piece of a Wombo Combo.

Failure Modes [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

Beat going out ahead of the engage, so it turns into a dry engage where you commit after the overhealth is already gone. Engaging while Lúcio is dead and Beat is not available.
