How Violet beats Lady Geist

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 Lady Geist

A blood-mage who spends her own health to take yours.

  • 01Pressure her when she’s low from her own abilities.
  • 02Break Life Drain’s line of sight.
  • 03Stay healthy near her when Soul Exchange is up; it’s worth less against low-health targets.
