Lore[]
Violet never attended the Academy, yet is no stranger to the battlefield. Wielding a seemingly-magical floating orb, her actual origin remains a mystery.
Ability[]
Send and recall a floating orb that you remotely shoot from.
Ability Details[]
Violet's ability sends out an orb that allows her to shoot remotely. Because the orb can travel across the map, Violet can be good for sniping opponents.
The orb initially moves straight in the direction that Violet was facing when deployed. Once it reaches the edge of the map, the orb will then hone back towards Violet until she touches it. Violet can recall the orb back to her by pressing the ability when it is moving away from her.
While the orb is out, pressing the shoot button will shoot a bullet from the orb in the direction that Violet is facing. These shots hold the same characteristics as standard ones including being able to be fired diagonally and split. She cannot fire from the orb while it is directly above solid objects, the edge of the map, or players.
Ability Boost - Faster Recall: when the orb is recalled either manually or when it reaches the edge of the map, the orb hones back faster to Violet, making it easier for her to recover and defend herself after sending the orb.
Strengths / Weakness[]
- Violet has the advantage of attacking long distance. She can snipe players that are hiding behind cover, provided that there is an empty space for the orb to shoot.
- While the orb is out, Violet cannot shoot locally like normal players. This makes her vulnerable to nearby players, especially Aether and Ronin.
Strategy[]
Violet's orb should be used with caution since it leaves her exposed with not much defense. If she distances herself from other players, she would have more time to retrieve the orb and defend herself if needed.
If Violet and an opponent are separated by a wall, violet can send the orb and shoot backwards to get a quick shot.
If Violet and an opponent are shooting each other in the same lane, Violet can send her orb to bypass the opponent's shots and blast barriers and get a direct kill.
Violet can control when she shoots from the orb. If for instance an opponent is anticipating that the orb will shoot in front of them, Violet can delay the orb to shoot behind them.
The orb's recall path can be partially controlled since the orb will home towards Violet when recalling. This can be used to shoot at different angles when targeting your opponent.
