Best Waylay Lineups On Split
LORANT’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 Split:
Lineups
A Site - Attack
We all know how much it sucks to not have an initiator that will flash or stun ramps for you so you can dash for that easy kill, right? So how about a self lineup that will achieve just that.
To do it, simply come over on the ledge in A main and aim your crosshair as shown in the picture. Then, do a jumping throw, and dash!
A Site - Defense
A common plan to execute on A site on defense is to push enemies A main. You can do that with the help of an initiator, and this lineup!
Simply come to the corner outside A heaven and aim your crosshair next to the letter A as you can see in the picture. Then, throw your lineup and dash in. It’s preferable to combine it with an initiator stun.
B Site - Attack
B Site has a lot of angles that you need to take care of when entering. But, one spot that is very annoying to deal with is back site, especially when a Cypher is on site. So, this lineup hits that spot to ease your entry.
Simply come over on B main, without peeking or exposing yourself aim your crosshair just as shown in the picture. Then, do a jumping throw.
B Site - Defense
You are not mistaken, Waylay has only 1 Saturate ability! But this demonstrate the versatility behind this quick lineup, it can go in either position.
Playing from back side pillar, you can aim your crosshair as shown and throw it to bounce in front of B main or do it on the other wall (right) and it’ll bounce to default/pillar.
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
