This one is to all of you Sova mains. This recon master is a game-changer when it comes to gathering intel for your team. But let's be real, hitting that perfect Ultimate can often be the difference between bragging rights and a facepalm moment. The joy of eliminating enemies through walls is unmatchable.

But where do you fire that thing? Randomly, hoping to hit someone by pure luck? Nope, you're better than that. Knowing the best spots to unleash your ultimate can take you from a good Sova to a great one. Here you will see the best ultimates spots on Abyss:

Attacking Side

A Site

Usage: When you’re pushing A site, there’s one thing that you can completely clear with your ultimate and it will drastically help your team execute. That is heaven, as Sentinels such as Cypher can smoke themselves and hide there, playing off trips. Another spot is back site, but it is very wide so it’ll be harder for you to hit an enemy spot on.

B Site

Usage: Over to B site, a key location to ult is back site. It is a narrow area, and your teammates can help you kill anyone trying to run off your ultimate. This essentially gives you a lot of pressure, and possibly the entry kill you need to go into site with ease.

Defending Side

A Site

Usage: If you’re defending A and you hear enemies walking up A main quickly, then it’s your prime time to ult that position. It is narrow, and there isn’t much room to escape, making it a very favorable ultimate. You can also do it instantly, without having to wait for steps.

Usage: Defending B site is no big deal either, as soon as you hear steps you can start your ultimate hitting B main. It is usually most beneficial if you do so when enemies have walked up so you can hit them against the narrow area that you need to walk through to get to site.

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.
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.
