How Kelvin beats Violet
Your game plan as Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
Lane
Frost Grenade trades and heals your partner at once. Arctic Beam slows and reduces fire rate.
Mid game
Ice Path is the best rotation tool in the game. Use it to carry your team to objectives.
Late game
Frozen Shelter blocks everything: dome your carry, or dome a fight to split it.
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.
