How Violet beats Paradox
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 Paradox
A tactician who swaps you into her team.
- 01Stay behind your frontline; Swap trades your position for hers.
- 02Walk out of Pulse Grenade before the radius grows.
- 03Shoot around Time Wall, not through it.
