How Ivy beats Violet

Your game plan as Ivy

The partner. Ivy is twice as strong when she’s attached to the right ally.

Lane
Kudzu Connection with your lane partner gives you both bonuses. Entangling Thorns zones and slows.
Mid game
Air Drop an ally onto the enemy backline for a surprise explosion and a damage buff.
Late game
Stone Form is an emergency button and a stun. Use it when divers commit.

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.
