How Violet beats Viscous

Mystic vs Brawler

Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.

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 Viscous

A blob of goo who saves allies and punches enemies through walls.

  • 01Don’t burst into The Cube; wait it out.
  • 02Stay away from walls when Goo Ball is up.
  • 03Kill him after The Cube is used.
