Violet abilities
Living Ink
Ability text lands on release day.
Flow State
Drag a brush that continues to travel forward, leaving a trail that grants bonus slide distance for allies and a fading slow and spirit damage to enemies it passes through, increased the further it travels. Re-activate the ability to flick the brush forward, ending the ability early but dealing spirit damage in a larger area.
Still Life
Choose a hero to be your subject, dealing spirit damage over time as long as you are looking at them. If the sketch is completed they take additional spirit damage, suffer from stun, and drop a sketch that can be picked up. For each collected sketch, you permanently gain stats based on the hero.
Abstract Landscape
Create a circular display of ink that blocks vision and grants allies Spirit. Enemies inside are revealed, and leaving causes them to take spirit damage and suffer from Silence and slow, destroying the ink in the process.
Violet skill order
Max Still Life first, then follow the grid point by point.

How to play Violet
Winning Violet players open with Extra Charge and Mystic Regeneration, spike in the mid game with Rapid Recharge and Toxic Bullets and close it out with Tankbuster or Boundless Spirit.
Violet game plan
An ink-painter who controls space: she slows and silences anyone caught in her art and grows stronger with every portrait she finishes.
How to beat Violet
- Break line of sight to stop Still Life before the sketch completes.
- Don’t fight inside Abstract Landscape when you have to leave it; walking out is what silences you.
- Deny her sketches early; each one she collects is a permanent stat boost.
Respect Abstract Landscape. Punish while she is staring down Still Life.
