How Viscous beats Violet

Brawler vs Mystic

Most Mystic damage is spirit damage. Buy Spirit Resist early and walk them down after they’ve used their main spell.

Your game plan as Viscous

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

Lane
Splatter slows; Puddle Punch knocks up and slows.
Mid game
The Cube protects an ally from damage. You can also use it on yourself.
Late game
Goo Ball bounces off walls and stuns everything it hits.

How to beat Violet

An ink-painter who controls space: she slows and silences anyone caught in her art and grows stronger with every portrait she finishes.

  • 01Break line of sight to stop Still Life before the sketch completes.
  • 02Don’t fight inside Abstract Landscape when you have to leave it; walking out is what silences you.
  • 03Deny her sketches early; each one she collects is a permanent stat boost.
