The mechanical son of a widowed junkyard attendant, Bebop and Miss Shelly lived together at a junkyard, working with scrap metal by day and listening to jazz music by night. But once Miss Shelly fell ill, Bebop had to  resort to participating in bloodsport at the [[Bear Pit]] to pay for her medicine. And while Bebop's creator wouldn't approve of his illicit activities, what she doesn't know can't hurt her.

 

 

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_bebop}}Bebop's weapon has a unique "Max Range" stat (not to be confused with [[Falloff Range]]). His weapon deals no damage beyond its max range. The max range starts at 32m and increases by +2m with [[Boon|boons]]. It also has a short wind-up time to start shooting. The gun can also be wound-up by zooming with right-click.

* Uppercut affects all valid targets within ~5m to the front of Bebop and ~2-3m around him.

* Uppercut first tries to launch all nearby allied troopers, enemy troopers, and enemy Heroes. If there are no valid enemy targets at all near Bebop on cast, then Uppercut will try to launch nearby allied Heroes as well.

* Launched enemies do not receive the "On Landing" damage.

* Bomb(s) instantly explode if the target dies.

* Bomb damage is based on Bebop's spirit power at cast time, so buffs/debuffs such as {{ItemIcon|Spirit Snatch}} apply only if they are active when the bomb is attached.

* Can be attached to self by using Alternate Cast, but deals 20% of the bomb's listed Spirit damage to himself on explode. The self-damage can be mitigated with [[Spirit Resist]] items.

* The permanent bonus damage is applied after all upgrades and Spirit Scaling. Formula: <code>((Base dmg + Upgrade + Spirit Scaling) * stacks multiplier)</code>. I.e.: With the T2 ("+{{DataProp|Sticky Bomb|Upgrades.2.Damage}} Damage") upgrade, stacks giving +9% damage, and 33 Spirit; Sticky Bomb will deal 245 damage <code>((110 ''[Base]'' + {{DataProp|Sticky Bomb|Upgrades.2.Damage}} ''[Upgrade]'' + 33*{{DataProp|Sticky Bomb|Damage.Scale.Value}} ''[Spirit Scaling]'') * 1.09 ''[Stack Multiplier]'')</code>

** The game keeps track of two independent counters: hit stacks and kill stacks. These are not shown anywhere in UI.

** A hit stack is gained every time a hero is hit by a bomb. A kill stack is gained whenever a hero hit by a bomb in the last {{DataProp|Sticky Bomb|KillCheckWindow}} seconds dies.

** If enemy hero dies while a bomb is attached to them, it gives one hit stack and one kill stack to Bebop. It may give additional stacks if the explosion hits/kills other heroes.

If purged, the bomb is dropped on the ground and still detonates.}}

* The target receives a {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Grapple Arm|SlowPercent}}% move slow that lasts for {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Grapple Arm|RestrictionDuration}}s when it finishes being pulled-in.

* Though it does light melee damage, Grapple Arm triggers the effects of some items as if it does heavy melee damage ({{ItemIcon|Spirit Snatch}}, {{ItemIcon|Lifestrike}}), but not for others ({{ItemIcon|Melee Charge}} and {{ItemIcon|Crushing Fists}}). This is likely unintentional.

T1 damage bonus can be removed.}}

* Hyper Beam has 3 damage areas:

** Area near arm - {{DataProp|Hyper Beam|BeamCloseRadius}}m radius,

** The beam itself - {{DataProp|Hyper Beam|BeamWidth}}m width,

** Area around the end of the beam - {{DataProp|Hyper Beam|BeamEndRadius}}m radius.

** This reduced damage penalty area scales with cast range bonuses; for example, +35% cast range will increase the penalty area from ~9m to ~12m.

* Hyper Beam has a '''{{DataProp|Hyper Beam|AbilityCastDelay}}s''' cast time before the laser is fully deployed and active.

Hyper Beam's slow is continously reapplied which effectively nullifies any debuff resist. However when the player leaves the beam's area the slow lingers for {{DataProp|Hyper Beam|SlowTargetDuration}}s which can be reduced e.g. by {{ItemIcon|Debuff Reducer}}.

* Bebop's current model is inherited from his original design in ''[[Neon Prime]].'' His previous portrait artwork was different from his in-game model and possibly hints at what his final design will be like. This updated design can also be seen in [[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']] [https://youtu.be/nn_C9nQ_Ri0?si=m6WF1b3kDfIb2R9R&t=1547 Chapter 5D.]

* Bebop is named after the jazz style [[wikipedia:Bebop|bebop]]. During Hyper Beam, a saxophone-like instrument can be heard playing erratically, akin to jazz improvisation.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Bebop}}'s [[Bebop/Sounds#Hyper Beam|Hyper Beam sounds]]</ref> The songs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwIC6B_dvW4 Giant Steps by John Coltrane] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZYaSkhRhoE Bebop by Charlie Parker] are possible references for the Hyper Beam SFX variants.
