How Drifter beats Violet
Assassin vs Mystic
Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.
Your game plan as Drifter
A stalker who marks a target and then makes sure no one can save them.
Lane
Rend in close range for bonus melee damage. Stalker’s Mark bleeds; re-activate it to pounce.
Mid game
Hunt the hero your team can’t reach. Marked targets running away are still in trouble.
Late game
Eternal Night blinds the enemy team to everything around them. Engage the moment it’s up.
How to beat Violet
An ink-painter who controls space: she slows and silences anyone caught in her art and grows stronger with every portrait she finishes.
- 01Break line of sight to stop Still Life before the sketch completes.
- 02Don’t fight inside Abstract Landscape when you have to leave it; walking out is what silences you.
- 03Deny her sketches early; each one she collects is a permanent stat boost.
