Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Avoid Pillow Toss so Rem cannot knock you back and shorten his other cooldowns. Pressure an exposed opponent while keeping a route away from the ally Rem can join with Tag Along. Apply Serrated Knives from beside cover, and keep Slice and Dice for a route that lets you return to your partner. Reach cover before Bloodletting’s delayed damage leaves you low.

Mid game · Walkers

Pressure Rem’s teammate when Tag Along is unavailable or its healing has already been used. Move sideways out of Naptime’s gaze before the channel ends and puts you to sleep.

Late game · Patron

Spread out so Naptime cannot keep the whole team in its gaze. Rem’s final upgrade grants Unstoppable while channeling, so do not rely on a stun to end every cast. Attack exposed opponents while keeping a route out of the gaze. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Rem when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
