How to play Rem

Naptime1Naptime

Your combo: Channel Naptime for 1.9s to put everyone within 19m to sleep while your team lines up its burst.

Don’t waste: A hit during the 1.9s channel interrupts it (you get half the cooldown back). At tier 3 you’re unstoppable while channelling.

Edge: While riding Tag Along you’re untargetable and immune to damage; on foot you have 680 health.

From community hero guides, Oct 2026 patches, checked against deadlock.wiki. The same combo from the other side is on how to counter Rem.
