Heroes That Counter Violet

Heroes that counter Violet in both 1v1 solo lane and full team fights include: Stuart, Toro, Arduin, Enzo, Billow, Wukong, Veera, Riktor — tanky heroes with hard crowd control and fast damage bursts are extremely well suited to specifically counter Violet ‘s rolling and fast-damage-bursting ability.

Marksman Heroes (Dragon Lane) That Counter Violet

Stuart

Violet bursts damage mainly through skills rather than basic attacks, so Stuart loves this matchup — just activate his physical-damage immunity at the right time and he’ll block nearly all of her damage.

Support Heroes (Sp) That Counter Violet

Toro

Toro is one of the few pure support heroes with good ability to stick closely to a target, so he’s very well suited to chase down a Violet constantly rolling around, and additionally this hero’s tankiness and plentiful crowd control make Violet’s life extremely difficult.

Enzo

Violet isn’t too strong in basic attacks but strong in her continuous rolling ability, so she needs to be chained down, and Enzo is exactly the hero who can do that.

Arduin

Arduin is already super tanky and also has a skill set that both closes in and launches, a nightmare for squishy heroes, and Violet is no exception — Arduin can let Violet shoot all day, but just one successful launch and she’s certainly headed to the scoreboard, no doubt about it.

Assassin Heroes (Jungle) That Counter Violet

Billow

Billow has top-tier hunting ability in Arena of Valor, with fast movement speed, big damage, and high accuracy — all factors that specifically and effectively counter Violet.

Wukong

Not every assassin makes Violet afraid, since her late-game damage can fully kill the hunter back, but that’s hard to happen against a super-critical assassin with hard crowd control like Wukong.

Mage Heroes (Mid Lane) That Counter Violet

Veera

No matter how Violet rolls around, she can’t dodge Veera’s stun and ultimate, and even Skill 1 is already hard to dodge given its huge range. Just one small mistake and Violet will certainly head to the scoreboard when facing Veera.

Fighter Heroes (Top Lane) That Counter Violet

Riktor

Riktor’s damage isn’t too big, but his durability and target-sticking ability are extremely good — when you pick this hero, simply chasing and harassing Violet continuously already puts her in an extremely difficult spot.

how to counter Violet in lane

Prefer prolonged trades: Violet is stronger playing a poke style with rolls from Tactical Fire then shooting, so if possible stand at a high position and trade damage with her continuously.

Watch her skills: Violet is an ADC but relies heavily on her skills rather than basic attacks, so attack relentlessly once she’s used them up.

How to Counter Violet in Combat

Prioritize attacking: Prioritize catching Violet the moment you get a chance with crowd-control skills and fast damage bursts.

Attack decisively: Once you have an opening, find every way to eliminate Violet, because if she gets to kite freely, she’ll create an enormous amount of damage.
