How Infernus beats Violet

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

Your game plan as Infernus

A pyromaniac who wins by keeping everyone burning for just a bit too long.

Lane
Every bullet stacks Afterburn. Open trades with Napalm; it amplifies your damage on whoever it hits.
Mid game
Flame Dash through fights and leave fire behind you. Long, messy skirmishes are where you win.
Late game
Concussive Combustion can’t be interrupted once you start it. Flame Dash into the middle of their team and blow 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.
