How Pocket beats Violet

Assassin vs Mystic

Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.

Your game plan as Pocket

A trickster who hides in a suitcase and then hits you with a shotgun.

Lane
Barrage slows and stacks; Flying Cloak lets you teleport to it.
Mid game
Enchanter’s Satchel makes you untargetable. Hop in to dodge key abilities, then punish.
Late game
Affliction damages everyone nearby; it can’t kill, so follow it with burst.

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.
