Best Waylay Lineups On Ascent
VALORANT’s newest agents happens to be a duelist, and a very unique one when it comes to kit and abilities. Waylay, has an unseen combination of abilities that can unlock various playstyles whether it be passive, aggressive, or a mix of both.
This guide will specifically show you lineups for Waylay’s Saturate Ability, as it acts similar to Phoenix mollies which can lead to very useful lineups that can help you step up your duels. So let’s dig in the best Waylay Lineups on Ascent:
Lineups
A Site - Attack
This lineup is very simple and straight forward; aiming to hit an operator player or aggressive defender on A main so you can dash and get the kill.
To do it, come over to A main and right before you peek, aim your crosshair just as shown in the picture. Do a normal throw then dash.
B Site - Attack
Moving over to B site, we all know the most troublesome spot: Stairs. So how about you throw your orb there and dash or spam for the kill
To do it, you need to make sure you’re safe from market then stand in front of this window on B main with your back against the wall, aim and shoot!
A Site - Defense
On the defensive side, a common play for you would be to peek A main, so here’s how to do it with some support!
Simply come anywhere near this metal pipe on A main, aim close to it and throw your ability
B Site - Defense
Similarly to A site, you can do an insane peek supported by your hinder which will boost your chances of getting a kill or just delay enemies from pushing.
Come in front of B main and aim your crosshair on the first metal line of the window, don’t worry it will go through it, shoot your hinder and peek!
Waylay’s Abilities
- Saturate: INSTANTLY throw a light cluster that explodes upon contact with the ground, HINDERING enemies with a movement and weapon slow.
- LIGHT SPEED: EQUIP and FIRE to dash forward twice.
ALT FIRE to dash once. Only the first dash can be sent upward.
- Retract: INSTANTLY create a beacon of light on the floor. REACTIVATE to speed back to it, with invulnerability.
- CONVERGENT PATHS: EQUIP and FIRE to project a beam of light that expands. After a brief delay, you gain a powerful speed boost and the beam expands, HINDERING other players in the area.
Waylay Pro Tips
- Waylay’s abilities can also affect teammates, this includes Saturate and her ultimate. So when you use it make sure it is not going to impact your team negatively, otherwise it might lead to some angry teammates
- Only Waylay’s first dash can go upwards, this means that you either use both dashes forward (can be in any direction you aim at) or use the first one to go up like a Jett’s updraft + dash combo
- You can opt to use 1 dash if you need by pressing right click instead of left click. This can be useful if you are looking to a certain distance
- Waylay is still new, meaning that her playstyle is yet to be shaped, don’t be limited to a specific style (aggressive or passive) find what you can perform with best
- Waylay’s ultimate takes a few seconds to activate, so keep in mind that it is easy to dodge if the area was not narrow or if enemies were not stunned
- To get the habit of using her “Saturate” ability quickly and without any struggle, we recommend assigning that ability key to a mouse button as it is easier to access and use in gun fights / duels
- While your Retract ability can help you escape gun fights without taking damage, keep in mind players can still headshot you or kill you before if you don’t do it quickly enough, do not take it for granted
