How Violet beats Holliday
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 Holliday
A trick-shooter. Holliday launches you into the air and then shoots you out of it.
- 01Don’t stand near Powder Keg — she can detonate it whenever she wants.
- 02Respect her headshots; she out-duels most heroes who stand still.
- 03Spread so Lasso only takes one.
