Yamato vs Violet

Assassin vs Mystic

Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.

Your game plan as Yamato

A blade who commits fully — and refreshes everything when she does.

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.

1. 01Violet wins the farm by ~9.7 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Violet deals most damage with abilities. Trade right after they’ve used their main spell, and consider early Spirit Shielding.
