How Violet beats Infernus
Mystic vs Mystic
Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.
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 Infernus
A pyromaniac who wins by keeping everyone burning for just a bit too long.
- 01Short trades. Afterburn punishes long ones.
- 02Concussive Combustion can’t be interrupted — walk out of it.
- 03Buy anti-heal and Spirit Resist; most of his damage is spirit.
