How Violet beats Deadman Danny

Mystic vs Marksman

Use spells to force them out of position; marksmen hate being moved.

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 Deadman Danny

A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.

  • 01Stay spread when Chimera Mk1 is overheating; a dive that hits nobody stuns him.
  • 02Slows work on him while he is airborne — use them to stop his approach.
  • 03Avoid fighting low on health near him; Close The Deal hits harder below 50%.
