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.
