Banette

How to use Banette in Champions

Banette fills a physical attacker niche on Champions ranked teams. With a 66-stat-point budget (max 32 per stat), most builds pour 32 into Attack and its best defensive stat, then fine-tune Speed in steps of 2 to sit just above or below the metagame's common numbers.

Defensively it is hurt hardest by Ghost, Dark, while resisting Poison, Bug. Check the Ghost page for the full matchup math behind those numbers.
