How Violet beats The Doorman
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 The Doorman
A hotel concierge who controls where everyone goes.
- 01Track Doorways; they’re rotations for the enemy too.
- 02Dodge Luggage Cart.
- 03Have someone ready to peel when Hotel Guest is up.
