Waylay: abilities and tips

Key CBasic

Saturate

300 credits · 1 charge

You equip a mass of light, then throw it at the ground. It explodes on contact and hinders nearby players: they move and handle their weapons more slowly. It is used to clear an angle before entering or to delay a push.

• Throw it on the angle you want to clear, then advance at normal speed to kill: slowed enemies react poorly.
• Don't always follow it with a dash: the enemy expects this pattern and punishes you on the way out.
• Enter during the 3 s of hinder: after that, the enemies get their speed back.

Key QBasic

Lightspeed

300 credits · 1 charge

You prepare a burst of speed. Primary fire sends you forward twice, alternate fire only once. Only the first dash can lift you into the air, which lets you clear obstacles and surprise people.

• Use the double dash to enter a site or change angles faster than the enemy can shoot.
• Go up with the first dash to clear a crate or a ledge, then drop with the second.
• Use the single dash to extract yourself from a lost duel, without wasting the whole charge.

Key ESignature

Refract

1 free charge per round · 1 charge

You place a light beacon on the ground, then reactivate it to return to it as a particle of light. You are invulnerable during this trip. You regain a charge every two kills.

• Place the beacon before entering a site, kill an opponent, then return before the counterattack.
• After the plant, use the beacon to control an angle and pull back when needed.
• Don't leave it in the same place for too long: an enemy who spots it can camp it.

Key XUltimate

Convergent Paths

8 ultimate points

You project a ray of light ahead of you, which limits your aim and movement during setup. Then you gain a strong acceleration and the ray widens, hindering players in the zone. It is used to enter or to block an advance.

• Use it to enter a site: the hinder reduces the defenders' response.
• Place the ray in a narrow corridor before it widens to slow the incoming enemies.
