Unlike Sage, the other major healer in Valorant, her healing ability is for teammates only, not herself. Her heal only heals teammates, not herself You just need to remember to coordinate with your team, as the flash will blind them as well if they see it, so make sure to let them know where you plan to send the hawk before you end up blinding your entire team and losing the fight as a result.

It is difficult to master this skill, especially to get the timing of the detonation right, but once you get it down this is an incredibly powerful ability. Just like Jett’s smokes or Phoenix’s wall you can use your mouse to bend your hawk flashes around corners, which really is a must a lot of the time. Only when Sky detonates them, or when you are hit by her ultimate, are you impacted by them, so if you shoot them when you see them they become fairly useless.

You can take out a hawk, wolf or her ultimate orbs just by shooting them, and they will have no impact on you at all. The simplest way of doing this is to shoot her abilities whenever you see them.
#SKYE VALORANT HOW TO#
If you are playing against Skye then you need to know how to counter her. Tips and Tricks You can shoot her wolf, hawk and ultimate And her ultimate can be very useful for this as well. On defense, you really want to be holding your wolf ability for retake situations, as that is when the attackers are most likely to be hunkered down in unlikely positions. We've got some handy Valorant weapon guides, and one I've found particularly useful, a Valorant crosshair guide to help you set up your crosshair like a pro.So you need to put yourself in a position close enough to where the fight will be, but far enough away to not be seen while using your ability, and then flash or scout for your team who are further up ahead and ready to take any fight they see. If you're after some help with Valorant, look no further.
#SKYE VALORANT PATCH#
Check out the patch notes for yourself if you're interested in the rest. On top of all that, Icebox is now in competitive rotation, and there are a few other small changes to ranked play in general. The Turret has a lower cooldown after being picked up, and her Alarmbot and Nanoswarm abilities are easier to detect - though, Nanoswarm now does a bit more damage. Her Alarmbot and Turret deactivate if she's over 40m away, but will reactivate if she comes back in range. Lastly, Killjoy is getting a load of tweaks to boost her effectiveness of holding just one site. Sorry Cypher players, no more dying allowed for you. Even when dying as him before, traps going off were still really useful info for your team. Cypher has had a little nerf, however, with his traps and camera being now being disabled revealed when he dies. Breach has a little buff with his flash duration being upped from 1.75 second to 2. Some agents have had individual changes, though. When these characters flash someone now, the effect will fade out slower at the start, though the total debuff time remains the same. Other changes in today's patch include a little tweak to all of Valo's Initiators. Reyna is currently one of the only other characters with a destructible ability like these, and it's gotten to a point where it's pretty easy to predict and shoot down, so it'll be interesting to see if Skye's stuff follows suit. It's worth noting that all of these abilities (bar the healing) can be shot and destroyed before they detonate or reach their target, so do bear that in mind when you're playing against her. If these blobs hit someone, it'll give them the nearsight effect (which is like what players see when stood in Viper's smoke, for example). They're big green blobs that float straight in the direction of your enemies, giving away their location. Lastly, her ultimate ability launches a load of Seekers. She can chuck the birds in front of her and even bend them around corners, then press the ability button again to detonate them blinding enemies who were looking their way. Her throwable spirit hawks are called Guiding Light, and these work similarly to Phoenix's flashbangs. The tiger can also jump up at enemies when you're done with it, concussing them briefly. Trailblazer lets her take control of a magic Tasmanian tiger (Skye the Tasmanian tiger, if you will), which she can use as recon to run around and spot enemies. Then we have the aforementioned animal-yeeting abilities.
