How Violet beats Billy
Mystic vs Brawler
Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.
Your game plan as Violet
An ink-painter who controls space: she slows and silences anyone caught in her art and grows stronger with every portrait she finishes.
Lane
Keep your eyes on one enemy with Still Life — the sketch only finishes while you watch them, and a finished sketch stuns them and drops a pickup that permanently raises your stats.
Mid game
Drag Flow State through fights: allies slide further on the trail while enemies on it are slowed and burned. Re-activate to flick the brush for a wider hit.
Late game
Abstract Landscape blocks vision and grants your team Spirit; enemies inside are revealed, and walking out silences, slows and damages them. Drop it on objectives so the enemy has to choose.
How to beat Billy
A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.
- 01Keep him off you; Billy wants melee range for everything.
- 02Don’t pull against Chain Gang; straining the chain slows you hard.
- 03Bait Rising Ram, then fight while it’s on full cooldown.
