Sova Best Ultimate Spots 

 

When we talk about utilizing your ultimate perfectly, we mean for all situations at any given time. In this guide, you will find the best spots for your ult whether you’re attacking, defending, retaking, or retaining a post-plant position. Using these spots and following our pro instructions, you will be a fearful Sova main: 

 

 

A Post Plant

What Does It Cover: This ultimate on A site will clear any angle that you need to take care of when entering. This will help you isolate your fights and have an easier time attacking on a map such as Split.

When To Use It: Best used during attacking scenarios, as this will help your team drastically especially if you are weak when forcing your way into site.

What Makes It Special: This is easily one of the best ultimate spots you can use as it hits all the commonly played positions by enemies on A site.

 

 

Mid Mail

What Does It Cover: If you are planning on executing Mid early in the round, this is a perfect way to sandwich your enemies and get free kills if anyone is playing there.

When To Use It: Best used in attacking scenarios, especially on mid where enemies are likely to use a bunch of utilities to block you from getting map control.

What Makes It Special: B Heaven is a very narrow area, which gives you little to non margin of error, ensuring that you deal damage or get free kills everytime you activate your ultimate.

 

 

B Site

What Does It Cover: This ult on B site will ease your entry a lot more as B is tricky to execute with Sentinels or smokers spamming their utility on site. It will specifically hit anyone playing back site.

When To Use It: Best used in hard execute scenarios on B site, it will allow you to break through enemy’s defense lines and secure the round for your team.

What Makes It Special: This is a good ultimate because it will take by surprise anyone playing back site, they will not predict or see this coming and that gives you a slight advantage.

 

 

B Main

What Does It Cover: Alternatively on B site, you can punish anyone coming up on B main early on the round, which can be very efficient if you are looking for player advantage.

When To Use It: Best used on defensive scenarios, if you ever hear too many steps on B main and think to yourself, this is the chance you get a triple kill with your ultimate, it might just be it.

What Makes It Special: Best part about this ultimate is how tight / narrow the B main area which gives you small margin of error, ensuring you get free kills everytime you activate it.



Pro Tips

 

  • When using your ultimate, make sure that you start it in a safe position. Even if you seem far away from enemies, a Jett can dash right at you if you’re not in a seemingly safe spot. That’s why, you should always do it from further away or around teammates.

  • Remember that Sova’s ultimate costs 8 Orbs, meaning you will not be able to use it as much except you are killing multiple enemies a round. And that is unrealistic when it comes to consistency, so make sure you grab those ultimate orbs anytime you see the chance to.

  • Your ultimate is best used with a Drone or an Arrow, as this will help you capture a target much more easily and grant yourself a pick whenever you activate it.

  • You could use your ultimate for different purposes, for example, you can use it as an Entry if your team struggles to find first picks. That is of course with the usage of reveals first. Or use it to help the duelist explode on site by isolating and clearing angles.

  • You can always cancel your ultimate by pressing “X” or whatever you bound the ult key to, this works well for either faking an opponent or if you hear someone pushing you up close and decide to play it safe and stop the ult.

  • Similarly to your ultimate, you can always exit your drone by pressing the same key bind you use to activate the ability. This is useful in case you get naded or ulted as you use it.

  • As a Sova, alternating is key. Don’t use any piece of utility in one place consistently, as this will become predictable and allow enemies to react properly to it. This applies on your Ultimate, darts and shock darts. Variation will bring your gameplay to another level.

  • When you use your ultimate, it gives you a temporary boost upwards, you can use that to get on spots you aren’t able to regularly as Sova, however, this is more about fun experimenting as you will not gain anything sacrificing your ultimate to get somewhere.

  • Beware that your ultimate applies damage on teammates, however, if you have to do so in order to hit an enemy you should prioritize that as the team damage dealt is minimized to avoid issues like killing your own team consistently.

  • One of the best Mechanics on Sova is to swerve with your ultimate to confuse enemies and ensure a kill on them.
