Violet's abilities

• Living Ink — Passive: Casting any other ability refreshes the cooldown of Flow State. Empower: Your next 3 bullets come to life, allowing you to steer them as they travel. The bullets deal increased weapon damage and splash spirit damage in a small area. Each successful hit against a hero reduces all ability cooldowns, and half for all item cooldowns. Draw: Paint a solid stroke of ink instead that blocks projectiles and characters from passing through. The stroke can be destroyed with a heavy melee, but deals spirit damage to the attacker.
• Flow State — Drag a brush that continues to travel forward, leaving a trail that grants bonus slide distance for allies and a fading slow and spirit damage to enemies it passes through, increased the further it travels. Re-activate the ability to flick the brush forward, ending the ability early but dealing spirit damage in a larger area.
• Still Life — Choose a hero to be your subject , dealing spirit damage over time as long as you are looking at them. If the sketch is completed they take additional spirit damage , suffer from stun , and drop a sketch that can be picked up. For each collected sketch , you permanently gain stats based on the hero.
• Abstract Landscape — Create a circular display of ink that blocks vision and grants allies Spirit . Enemies inside are revealed, and leaving causes them to take spirit damage and suffer from Silence and slow , destroying the ink in the process.
