How to play against Violet
Combo: Violet sketches you with Still Life (it damages you while she keeps looking at you, and stuns if she finishes), then steers Living Ink’s 3 empowered shots into you.
Punish window: Still Life only stuns if she finishes the sketch while watching you. Break her line of sight to stop it, or dive her while she’s locked on.
Beware: If you’re caught in Abstract Landscape, leaving it silences and slows you. Living Ink hits on heroes reduce all her cooldowns.
Builds graded by real games

Violet has been tampering with some unsafe materials. Careful to not injest this harmful substance. Join the Live Experiment @ twitch.tv/SpookiShow

自用，阿紫的核心伤害来源除了1技能的追踪强化子弹以外其实还有二技能的墨迹，作为前期能参与抓人和快速游走的技能可以说很不错，在团战中打中人太容易了，推完一阶守护神带着队友滑铲撤退
