Waylay is a spacious duelist

Waylay is Valant's 28th agent and eighth Duelist. However, she is not just some kind of duelist; She is a spacious duelist who is intended to help their team secure the site and take down enemies. She is the first new spacious duelist since the game's launch with Jett and Raze.

One of her abilities seriously nerf's enemies

Waylay's first basic ability is saturated. Like the neon relay bolt, the downhill speed and the fire rate saturates for your enemies, which makes it difficult for them to aim and kill her. Saturrate makes a single bounce, which allows it to hit more than one enemy.

The introduction of Waylay also introduced a new debuff called obstacles. When you prevent an enemy, it refers to hard slow down their movement rate and reduce their fire speed, recover the recovery, equip the speed and charge the speed. At present, Waylay is the only Valorantagent that can hinder, but there is likely to be more in the future.

Easy speed allows her to take a website quickly

Her other basic ability is light speed, which has drawn similarities to Jett's line. When you left, Waylay will be dashed forward twice, while right click causes her to dash forward once. The line only allows Waylay to move forward, so it is not useful to try to get away from battle. Instead, it is best used to make space and get into the site faster.

Waylay's first line forward can send her upwards, while the other sends her straight ahead. You can use her upward dash to get into the sky in Pearl or quickly to the rear place of the seas, which makes her versatile in battle.

Waylay's signature ability is reminiscent of Phoenix's ultimate

Phoenix's ultimate, drive back, place a marker in Phoenix's place and let him go to the scene and kill people. If he dies or the timer for his ultimate ending, he is teleported back to his marker with full health. Waylay's signature ability, mining, is similar.

After placing a marker on the ground, Waylay can move to any place on the map. If you are in danger, you will be able to activate the ability and speed back to the cursor. You will be inviolable when you travel, but you will not be able to see any or mini map. This makes you vulnerable to enemies that camp your marker. Currently, mining has no interval limit, which means you can travel to the opposite side of the map and still use the ability.

After Waylay will receive a speed increase and the beam will expand and prevent enemies by downplaying their movement and fire speed.

Some may claim that her ultimate is similar to Fade, Breach and Reyna. It is similar to Fade's because of the range of the ultimate and can almost take a whole website. It is similar to violation because it blinds and stunned enemies in a similar way. Finally, it is similar to Reynas after activating Waylay's ultimate enemies will be highlighted and the lighting of the site will be darker.
