Solomon vs Rem

Do

• Plan for Unstoppable Unstoppable 6,400 souls Tier 4ArmorInstantCast +60s Cooldown +5.5s Duration +125 Bonus Health +25% Debuff Resist Builds from Debuff Reducer — know which tier it sits in so you are not improvising at the shop.
• Know what Pillow Toss Pillow Toss 40m Range25s Cooldown Rem hurls a pillow that deals spirit damage and knocks the enemies it hits well away from their position. Crowd Control Heavy knockback displacement on hit. Damage 75 spirit damage base; Mobility none for Rem, but it moves enemies a long way 1 1 AP: -7s cooldown (25s to 18s) 2 2 AP: applies -40% fire rate and +2m radius 5 5 AP: +100 damage and +2m radius looks like. It is the cooldown this lane revolves around.

Avoid

• Walking to lane on the same path every wave against a hero with Rem's engage range.

Do

• 680 max health, the lowest in this group and among the lowest in the game — Rem dies to any burst combo that connects
• Zero damage contribution means a lane partner who wants to force kills gets no help doing it
• A bishop parked in lane slides through both laners for 70 damage and a slow every few seconds

Avoid

• Tag Along Tag Along 23m Range5.5s Duration40s Cooldown Rem leaps to a friendly hero and naps alongside them. Damage No damage. Burst heals 15% of missing health, then regenerates over time —… Mobility A 23m leap, but only to a friendly hero — Rem cannot use it to escape into… Defensive Attaching to a durable frontliner is Rem's survival plan; 1 1 AP: -8s cooldown (40s to 32s) 2 2 AP: bonus item range, duration and barrier effectiveness while attached 5 5 AP: bonus spirit power while napping and for a short window after waking 's missing-health burst plus lingering regeneration makes a duo lane extremely hard to burst down, and the heal is strongest exactly at the moment the trade should have been lost
• Pillow Toss Pillow Toss 40m Range25s Cooldown Rem hurls a pillow that deals spirit damage and knocks the enemies it hits well away from their position. Crowd Control Heavy knockback displacement on hit. Damage 75 spirit damage base; Mobility none for Rem, but it moves enemies a long way 1 1 AP: -7s cooldown (25s to 18s) 2 2 AP: applies -40% fire rate and +2m radius 5 5 AP: +100 damage and +2m radius knockback denies the enemy's all-in and refunds cooldowns on hit, so a Rem who lands pillows out-tempos the lane

Do

• Their first real spike is ult unlock — respect it from that point, not before.
• Your spike is ult unlock: Develop Queen Develop Queen 30m Range210s Cooldown Solomon summons a queen that crashes down on an area for spirit damage. Crowd Control 1.25s stun from the lines, plus a 15% slow for 1.5s (30% at Tier 2). Damage 120 spirit damage (+1.4 per Spirit) on the crash and again on the lines. Mobility The queen leaps up to 16m per move, with 5s between moves; 1 -40s cooldown 2 +15% slow, and the lines checkmate heroes below 200 health, executing them 5 +2 moves and +1 square range adds 120-damage crashes and Stun lines that he can move twice more

Avoid

• Taking an even fight against Rem on their spike timing when you could take the same fight ten minutes later on yours.

Do

• Watch for Naptime Naptime 24m Range200s Cooldown Rem channels a gaze forward that passes through walls and floors. Crowd Control Layered: first a slow with reduced dash distance and a full lockout on… Damage 120 spirit damage on wake (+50% at 5 AP). Mobility None for Rem, but it is the strongest mobility-denial effect in this group 1 1 AP: -1 stamina on wake and no stamina regeneration while asleep 2 2 AP: +0.75s sleep duration and +3m radius 5 5 AP: -65s cooldown (175s to ~110s) and +50% damage resistance while channelling . It is a directional channelled gaze with a 19m radius — the counter is leaving the cone, not hiding, because it goes through walls

Avoid

• Spending your own escape before Pillow Toss Pillow Toss 40m Range25s Cooldown Rem hurls a pillow that deals spirit damage and knocks the enemies it hits well away from their position. Crowd Control Heavy knockback displacement on hit. Damage 75 spirit damage base; Mobility none for Rem, but it moves enemies a long way 1 1 AP: -7s cooldown (25s to 18s) 2 2 AP: applies -40% fire rate and +2m radius 5 5 AP: +100 damage and +2m radius is on cooldown.

• Naptime Naptime 24m Range200s Cooldown Rem channels a gaze forward that passes through walls and floors. Crowd Control Layered: first a slow with reduced dash distance and a full lockout on… Damage 120 spirit damage on wake (+50% at 5 AP). Mobility None for Rem, but it is the strongest mobility-denial effect in this group 1 1 AP: -1 stamina on wake and no stamina regeneration while asleep 2 2 AP: +0.75s sleep duration and +3m radius 5 5 AP: -65s cooldown (175s to ~110s) and +50% damage resistance while channelling Ultimate

  Rem's fight-ender: first a slow with reduced dash distance and a full lockout on movement abilities, then sleep, which is a hard disable.

  • It is a directional channelled gaze with a 19m radius — the counter is leaving the cone, not hiding, because it goes through walls
  • Interrupt the channel: any Stun, Silence or knockdown on Rem stops it, and before 5 AP Rem has no damage resistance during the cast
  • Once your team is asleep, apply exactly one damage instance above the ~100 threshold to wake a key teammate rather than letting the full duration run
• Pillow Toss Pillow Toss 40m Range25s Cooldown Rem hurls a pillow that deals spirit damage and knocks the enemies it hits well away from their position. Crowd Control Heavy knockback displacement on hit. Damage 75 spirit damage base; Mobility none for Rem, but it moves enemies a long way 1 1 AP: -7s cooldown (25s to 18s) 2 2 AP: applies -40% fire rate and +2m radius 5 5 AP: +100 damage and +2m radius Ability 1

  Rem decides where you are standing for the next second or two — heavy knockback displacement on hit.

  • It is a single-charge skillshot on a 25s (18s at 1 AP) cooldown — force it out with a feint approach, then commit for real
  • A missed Pillow Toss is the entire engagement window on Rem; with 680 HP and no escape ability, that is the cue to dive
  • Approach from an angle where knockback pushes you toward your own team rather than away from it
• Tag Along Tag Along 23m Range5.5s Duration40s Cooldown Rem leaps to a friendly hero and naps alongside them. Damage No damage. Burst heals 15% of missing health, then regenerates over time —… Mobility A 23m leap, but only to a friendly hero — Rem cannot use it to escape into… Defensive Attaching to a durable frontliner is Rem's survival plan; 1 1 AP: -8s cooldown (40s to 32s) 2 2 AP: bonus item range, duration and barrier effectiveness while attached 5 5 AP: bonus spirit power while napping and for a short window after waking Ability 2

  The core of Rem's game: it is simultaneously the only mobility tool, the main healing output, and a positioning trick that keeps Rem glued to a protected body instead of standing in the open.

  • Any Stun knocks Rem off the ally — Stun ultimates and knockdowns are the designed answer, and they leave Rem exposed in the open with 680 HP
  • Kill or force out the frontliner Rem is attached to; Tag Along requires a living ally in 23m and Rem has no other mobility
  • Anti-heal items ( Healbane Healbane 1,600 souls Tier 2ArmorPassive +8s Duration +7 Spirit Power -35% Incoming Healing -35% Incoming Healing +275 Heal On Hero Kill , Decay Decay 3,200 souls Tier 3TechPress +30s Cooldown +12s Duration +0.1s Cast Delay +8 Spirit Power -50% Incoming Healing -50% Incoming Healing +65 Bonus Health and similar healing-reduction purchases) cut the missing-health burst directly and are the highest-value counter-item against Rem
• Lil Helpers Lil Helpers 45m Range Rem signals a Helper to go do a job: collect crates, perform Sinner's Sacrifices, or follow and buff an ally hero or friendly troopers. Damage None. Heals troopers for 8 health/second; Helpers rest ~15.1 seconds after… Mobility Grants move speed to the hero being followed Defensive The spirit resist buff on a followed ally is a persistent small mitigation… 1 1 AP: +1 Helper and +1.5 m/s Helper move speed 2 2 AP: +1 Helper and +15% trooper damage/resist 5 5 AP: +1 Helper and +15% spirit resist on the buff Ability 3

  Rem's macro engine and the reason Rem contributes to a game without contributing damage. Helpers convert map resources into souls and tempo while Rem stands in lane, and the buff mode is a quiet but real combat contribution.

  • Watch the tunnels — Helpers stealing Sinner's Sacrifices Sinner's Sacrifice Soul objective Ten machines around the map, plus the Bell Tower A slot machine you punch for souls: each light melee pays about a twentieth of its value, each heavy a tenth, and the final hit pays half plus a heavy — more in the jackpot window, whose timing now varies. 500 health; it hits back for 80 a punch outside the jackpot phase. Souls 310 souls at 0:00 +3.35 a minute is free enemy economy, and killing the Helper or contesting the sacrifice yourself denies it
  • Helpers are killable; removing one costs Rem the ~15.1s rest cycle plus travel time
  • A followed ally is the one Rem intends to keep alive — it is a free read on where Tag Along Tag Along 23m Range5.5s Duration40s Cooldown Rem leaps to a friendly hero and naps alongside them. Damage No damage. Burst heals 15% of missing health, then regenerates over time —… Mobility A 23m leap, but only to a friendly hero — Rem cannot use it to escape into… Defensive Attaching to a durable frontliner is Rem's survival plan; 1 1 AP: -8s cooldown (40s to 32s) 2 2 AP: bonus item range, duration and barrier effectiveness while attached 5 5 AP: bonus spirit power while napping and for a short window after waking will go next

1. 1 Pillow Toss Pillow Toss 40m Range25s Cooldown Rem hurls a pillow that deals spirit damage and knocks the enemies it hits well away from their position. Crowd Control Heavy knockback displacement on hit. Damage 75 spirit damage base; Mobility none for Rem, but it moves enemies a long way 1 1 AP: -7s cooldown (25s to 18s) 2 2 AP: applies -40% fire rate and +2m radius 5 5 AP: +100 damage and +2m radius

   Pillow Toss first, always. It is one charge on a 25s (18s at 1 AP) cooldown, it is Rem's only self-peel, and landing it is also what refunds cooldowns on everything else. Feint an approach with a durable body, eat the pillow, then commit for real

2. 2 Tag Along Tag Along 23m Range5.5s Duration40s Cooldown Rem leaps to a friendly hero and naps alongside them. Damage No damage. Burst heals 15% of missing health, then regenerates over time —… Mobility A 23m leap, but only to a friendly hero — Rem cannot use it to escape into… Defensive Attaching to a durable frontliner is Rem's survival plan; 1 1 AP: -8s cooldown (40s to 32s) 2 2 AP: bonus item range, duration and barrier effectiveness while attached 5 5 AP: bonus spirit power while napping and for a short window after waking

   Then Tag Along. A Rem who has already leapt to an ally cannot leap again for 40s (32s at 1 AP); forcing the hop by threatening that ally strands Rem where it lands

3. 3 Naptime Naptime 24m Range200s Cooldown Rem channels a gaze forward that passes through walls and floors. Crowd Control Layered: first a slow with reduced dash distance and a full lockout on… Damage 120 spirit damage on wake (+50% at 5 AP). Mobility None for Rem, but it is the strongest mobility-denial effect in this group 1 1 AP: -1 stamina on wake and no stamina regeneration while asleep 2 2 AP: +0.75s sleep duration and +3m radius 5 5 AP: -65s cooldown (175s to ~110s) and +50% damage resistance while channelling

   Naptime is worth baiting only with a Stun held in reserve — otherwise a forced cast still wins Rem the objective. At 2 charges it is also the one ability you cannot reliably drain

• 680 HP with no escape ability that works without a nearby ally — the most fragile profile in this group Strong evidence
• Anti-heal items shut down the majority of the kit's value directly Strong evidence
• Contributes essentially no damage, so an enemy who survives the heal window is never punished Strong evidence
• Neither of you can disengage well, so fights between you tend to go to completion. That makes the decision to start one much more important than anything you do inside it — commit only when you already have the advantage, because backing out is not available to either side. Strategic

• Naptime Naptime 24m Range200s Cooldown Rem channels a gaze forward that passes through walls and floors. Crowd Control Layered: first a slow with reduced dash distance and a full lockout on… Damage 120 spirit damage on wake (+50% at 5 AP). Mobility None for Rem, but it is the strongest mobility-denial effect in this group 1 1 AP: -1 stamina on wake and no stamina regeneration while asleep 2 2 AP: +0.75s sleep duration and +3m radius 5 5 AP: -65s cooldown (175s to ~110s) and +50% damage resistance while channelling strips your dash distance and locks out every movement ability before the sleep even lands, so once you are in the 19m gaze there is no mechanical out — then your whole group is asleep for the objective Strong evidence

• Pillow Toss Pillow Toss 40m Range25s Cooldown Rem hurls a pillow that deals spirit damage and knocks the enemies it hits well away from their position. Crowd Control Heavy knockback displacement on hit. Damage 75 spirit damage base; Mobility none for Rem, but it moves enemies a long way 1 1 AP: -7s cooldown (25s to 18s) 2 2 AP: applies -40% fire rate and +2m radius 5 5 AP: +100 damage and +2m radius knocks your diver clean off the target and, at 2 AP, applies -40% fire rate — your engage is displaced and your DPS is halved in one button Strong evidence

Souls 23 souls a crate, 60% of the time +2 a minute and tunnel sacrifices on Rem's half of the map — killing Helpers costs Rem the ~15.1s rest cycle and denies the macro value the pick is built on Strong evidence
• Rem does a lot of damage through summons rather than in person. Do not spend single-target cooldowns clearing them — Area Damage handles the summons while you keep your burst for the hero. Check whether the summons are what is actually killing you before you commit to fighting the hero at all. Strategic

• Any moment Pillow Toss Pillow Toss 40m Range25s Cooldown Rem hurls a pillow that deals spirit damage and knocks the enemies it hits well away from their position.

• Rem builds almost no resist, which is the case where shred stops being a tank-buster and becomes raw amplification. Because shred is subtracted from total resist, a target sitting near zero goes negative — and negative resist is a damage multiplier, with −30% meaning they take 130%. Against a hero this fragile, one shred source in your build is doing the work of a damage item for the whole team's bullets, not just yours. Strong evidence

• Your kit is built around lockdown and that is worth less on the Mid Boss than on Rem — it carries 35% Debuff Resist as of 03-06-2026, so your disables run roughly two-thirds as long on it. Plan the take around damage and positioning rather than a CC chain, and spend the chain on Rem if they contest. The payoff is worth the trip: 3,000 souls + 50 per minute, two permanent buffs each, and a Rejuvenator crystal giving up to three single-use revives that return a player at full health after 3 seconds, for 3 minutes. Documented
• Rotation speed is the axis you lose on against Rem, and it is not purely a hero stat. Ziplines run at a fixed 18 m/s on inner lanes and 21 m/s on outer regardless of your move speed, and destroying a base guardian converts that lane into a permanent Express Line at +80%. If they take a base guardian before you do, their map becomes structurally faster than yours for the rest of the game. That objective is worth contesting for the travel time alone, separately from the souls. Strong evidence

• Naptime Naptime 24m Range200s Cooldown Rem channels a gaze forward that passes through walls and floors. Crowd Control Layered: first a slow with reduced dash distance and a full lockout on… Damage 120 spirit damage on wake (+50% at 5 AP). Mobility None for Rem, but it is the strongest mobility-denial effect in this group 1 1 AP: -1 stamina on wake and no stamina regeneration while asleep 2 2 AP: +0.75s sleep duration and +3m radius 5 5 AP: -65s cooldown (175s to ~110s) and +50% damage resistance while channelling is a channel, which means the fight is decided by whether you can break it. Hold one interrupt — a Stun, a Silence, or a displacement — specifically for that cast rather than spending it on the opening trade. If you have no interrupt, the answer is line of sight: leave the area entirely rather than trying to out-heal it. Strong evidence
• Rem brings enough lockdown that Stun sequencing matters. Community reporting describes Stun diminishing returns of roughly 10% then 30% inside an 8-second window, applying to stuns only and not to silences, slows, disarms or hexes — so their follow-up chain may be shorter than the first one felt. Treat this as unconfirmed, but it is worth knowing before you burn a cleanse on the opening Stun. Uncertain

• Rem decides where you stand, not you. The practical rule is to never hold a position whose failure case is being moved — stand so that being yanked or knocked puts you somewhere survivable rather than inside their whole team. Cover at your back is worth more than cover in front. Strong evidence
