Though it has limitations, her AOE Regrowth heal is arguably stronger than Sage’s. Healing a group of allies is a better strategy than using Sage. Because of this, it’s ideal for attacks where players may initially sustain splash damage. However, for solo players, its a bit harder. Article continues after ad.
Skye is definitely not a hard fragger. She will have a lot of responsibility as an initiator to ensure that her team can easily access the site. Fortunately, she has all the tools necessary to be a formidable attacker and defender at her disposal. Article continues after ad.
Skye is the 13th agent for Valorant and the first Australian agent. She’s joining the Future Earth forces after Sage calls on her to save the world, bringing her knowledge of wildlife to bear on the battlefield.
For those cunning plays, Skye, Valorant’s Australian eco-warrior Initiator Agent, is a highly sought-after choice. With the help of this Valorous Skye guide, you can outmaneuver your rivals and take the upper hand.
Among Skye’s tools, Guiding Light is perhaps the most effective. It’s difficult to track because the sound cue on the trinket leaving Skye isn’t very loud. Furthermore, Skye is completely in charge of when it explodes. This implies that she can use them haphazardly, utilizing tiny angles to flash enemies that you wouldn’t be able to find as Breach or Phoenix. Article continues after ad.
Valorant Character Skye Overview
The 13th agent, Skye, will be formally added to the roster two weeks after Act III kicks off.
She will be the third Initiator, joining Breach and Sova, and she will represent Australia, her birthplace.
Her ability set is centered around animal-themed accessories that can be used for healing, flashing, and enemy seeking, among other things.
She appears to be a flexible option that will work in a variety of team configurations with her varied kit.
Watch this Riot video to witness all of Syke’s powers in action, as seen from both her and an enemy agent’s points of view!
EQUIP a healing trinket. Holding fire will channel it to heal nearby allies in your line of sight. Can be reused until her healing pool is depleted. Skye cannot heal herself.
Based on Sage’s Heal Orb nerfs, it appears that Riot is really moving away from self-healing for agents that are able to heal their team and is saving the feature for Duelists like Reyna and Phoenix.
Look to gain more value by healing as many allies as you can at once, as the footage we’ve seen thus far suggests that her healing pool’s depletion rate will be constant whether she’s healing one or multiple allies.
EQUIP a Tasmanian tiger trinket. FIRE to send out and take control of the predator. When under control, FIRE will leap forward, detonating in a concussive blast that will damage enemies in direct contact.
This functions similarly to Sova’s Owl in that Skye takes control of the tiger in first person and can be destroyed by enemies. Similar to Breach’s, it stuns enemies upon impact.
It will be very helpful for intel gathering, interaction, and depending on how much damage it can deal, it might even be able to get Skye some kills.
EQUIP a hawk trinket. FIRE to send it forward. To direct the hawk toward your crosshair, HOLD FIRE REUSE to turn the hawk into a flash while it’s in the air
Skye now has three charges, matching Breach, who was recently upgraded to have three flashes. Her hawk has a special niche that might allow Skye and her group to pursue it (they’ll have to turn away, of course, to avoid being blinded), creating some new opportunities for initiation.
Because they can be destroyed, you can use them to obtain information by tricking opponents into shooting them before the flash occurs.
EQUIP a Seeker trinket. FIRE will dispatch three Seekers to locate the three nearest adversaries. If a Seeker reaches its target, it nearsights them.
This ultimate seems like a great tool to find hidden flankers and lurkers or to launch an attack on a site.
Although the Seekers are unstoppable, we are still unsure of the full extent of their reach.
If you are unfamiliar with the operation of nearsight, it is the same effect that agents affected by Omen’s paranoia receive.
