Brush in hand, Violet approaches the ritual with the same precision she does her art, wielding Living Ink that both empowers her bullets, and draws mere inspiration into reality. When entering Flow State, her ink glides easily, weaving towards danger to deal damage, or away from it to make a quick getaway. By creating a Still Life Violet can truly capture her enemies' likeness to stunning results. And with Abstract Landscape she surrounds herself and those nearby with her biggest and most ambitious piece yet, leaving onlookers completely speechless. - "I worked too hard to get here, I can't stop now."

Violet is available in-game now! Which means that our final hero - Nurse Harrow - will be joining us Next Tuesday October 20th at 2pm PDT. We want to thank everyone for participating in voting once again, and we'll see you next week for the culmination of our City Never Sleeps update. Have a good weekend!
