How Violet beats Lash

Mystic vs Assassin

Keep your CC for their dive. One stun on an assassin is usually a kill for your team.

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 Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

  • 01Stay under overhead cover; Lash needs a clear line to grapple.
  • 02Break line of sight during the Death Slam channel to avoid being connected.
  • 03Stun him mid-air; he has few escapes once committed.

Laning

Win the lane: Violet into Lash

  2. 02Lash denies ~1.4 more orbs per match — secure your orbs before they can.
  3. 03Lash looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
  4. 04Lash has sustain (Flog). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
