How Violet beats Pocket
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 Pocket
A trickster who hides in a suitcase and then hits you with a shotgun.
- 01Wait out Enchanter’s Satchel instead of wasting abilities into it.
- 02Affliction can’t kill you — don’t panic-use cooldowns.
- 03Shoot the Flying Cloak path; he’ll teleport there.
