How to play as KAY/O in Valorant

Grenade for KAY/O

• KAY/O has got the power to change the game if in right hands.
• His FRAG/ment grenade deals three pulses worth of damage, as well as being near-lethal if a player is caught in the middle.
• Drop this at choke points to deter enemy advances, or if they’re all grouped up, to cause some utter chaos.

Suppression blade for KAY/O

However, all eyes are on that ZERO/point suppression blade. With dual functionality, it can be both the perfect tool for scouting as well as interrupting. Any enemies caught in the suppression will be highlighted to teammates.

Therefore players are letting them know exactly which Agents are easy prey. Again, firing into a chokepoint or popular site route is the way to go.

Additionally, if a gamer knows that he’l be rushed by a large group, firing the blade will suppress them all. This means they’ll need to rely on their gun skills to get out alive.

Agent KAY/O’s Ultimate

His Ult can make or break a fight. In addition to its suppression, agent KAY/O in Valorant has the ability to be ‘downed’ with 850 health while he waits to be revived. If he’s picked up by a teammate, he can get back into the action with up to 100 health.

Acting as the perfect buffer, gamers don’t need to worry about raising him only to give the enemy team another kill. However, they must make sure to revive him if they can because he’s easily powerful enough to make or break a game.
