Officially appearing in the 3.0 update, Kay/O has become a hot topic in Valorant village. Many gamers as well as professional players said that this unpleasant robot has superior power and somewhat is virtual variation. Because, not only gives a large amount of information, Kay/O also prevents the opponent from using skills.
Skill set
Grenade/explosion (c): Kay/O throws out a grenade in the direction of the designation and will explode immediately after touching the ground. The ball will explode and deal more damage if standing in the center.
Grenades/blindness (Q): Kay/O throws out a grenade in the direction of the specified direction, making all rivals in the influence are dazzled. Skills will explode after 1 second if used in the right mouse and explode after 1.6 seconds if used in left mouse.
No/brand (E): Kay/O releases an electronic blade and will stick to the impact position. After that, the knife will explode, causing all enemies within the range of affected to be discovered standing, and being suppressed and unable to use skills within 7 seconds.
Null/cmd (x): Kay/o enhance yourself, to speed up the shooting speed when in the overload state. In addition, he will radiate an energy source that enemies within the scope of influence cannot perform skills. Earlier, Kay/O may be revived by his teammates after being shot down. However, this mechanism was removed after Valorant's 3.01 patch.
The power of kay/o
Many professional players such as Tyson “Tenz” NGO or Streamer Michael “Shroud” GRZESIEK affirmed that Kay/O is a relatively “error” agent with the skill set that can completely control the opponent. Despite being an agent with a biased, but Kay/O's defensive ability is not inferior to other guardians like Killjoy or Sage.
When on the defensive side, the tactic/effective tactic may delay or slow down the attacking attack on the enemy's site. Because, when in a state of no skills in 7 seconds, the tactics prepared in advance can completely be disabled. In particular, the agents that have a biased like Raze or Jett will have to consider carefully about the decision to open their fighting if they have to cope with Kay/O.
However, in accordance with the nature of an agent, Kay/O proved particularly dangerous when on the attacking side. Similar to the defense, the tactic/effective tactics will prevent the opponent from launching the skill of slowing down the attack of the Kay/O ownership team. On the other hand, the grenade/blindness with the ability to dazzle can repel the opponent easily.
Besides, Kay/O also works greatly thanks to the skill of grenade/explosion. Basically, this is a “Molly” technique, which can be used at a long distance and deals a widespread damage identical to Killjoy's nanoparticles or Viper's snake bite. This allows Kay/O to stand remotely and perform grenades/explosion to prevent the opponent from disabling Spike, especially in maps like Ascent, Bind or Haven.
Finally, NULL/CMD skills allow Kay/O to become a bait with the ability to straighten into the opponent's lineup to change people or create disturbances. Because, even when it was shot down, Kay/O was not completely excluded from the fighting phase. Accordingly, if you try to defeat Kay/O when he is in a state of instability, you may have to pay for bullets and tactics from the other direction to target you.
Summary
Comprehensive, control and impressive control is what can be said about kay/o. Once this robot is used, gamers are fully capable of bringing them to the single ranking to help teammates take advantage. Meanwhile, Valorant's meta is also greatly affected when Kay/O will be participated in the matches since VCT: Stage 3 Challengers.
“It is wonderful. You have both grenades, dazzling, and something to collect information and have a bit of silence here. Kay/O as an agent to balance everything. As when Astra appears, we own an agent as if it was 'control'. Dexerto.
Not only Shroud, Tenz also had to “gasp” when he learned that Kay/O could completely disable the ultimate of KillJoyR and Jett's non -dart typhoon. This proves that not only gamers, professional players also begin to feel shy of the appearance of Kay/O.
