How Violet beats Vyper

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 Vyper

A slippery gunner who slides into your backline with a dagger and a bola.

  • 01Stay above half health; Lethal Venom scales with missing health.
  • 02Dodge Petrifying Bola’s direct hit.
  • 03CC her before she slides away.
