How Violet beats Warden

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 Warden

A one-man army who walks into six and dares them to fight.

  • 01Move when Binding Word is cast; it only immobilises if you stay.
  • 02Interrupt Last Stand during its 2-second charge.
  • 03Kite him; Willpower is his only escape.
