Now let’s go over every potential one by one, and arm you with as many little-known suggestions and tips as potential for every one.
Reyna suggestions – Devour
- Despite sharing the identical pool of costs, in most (however not all!) circumstances Devour is way more helpful than Dismiss. The heal is extraordinarily speedy and ought to be used to maintain you within the combat so you may snowball as a lot as potential.
- Once Devour has maxed out your peculiar well being, it’s going to grant you short-term well being (the purple textual content subsequent to your well being) such that your well being, armour, and short-term well being collectively add as much as 150. So in essence, the purple textual content quickly heals misplaced armour. But this short-term well being will deplete extraordinarily rapidly after the impact ends.
- Using Devour creates a line of purple vitality between you and the orb you devoured. This line can’t be damaged till the impact ends, regardless of how distant you get from the orb. Be cautious of this, as a result of enemies can simply use this line to pinpoint your location, even via partitions.
Reyna suggestions – Dismiss
- While Dismiss solely renders you intangible for a brief period, you may tactically lower the impact even faster by urgent your potential button once more, permitting you to get again into the combat even faster.
- Whether you cancel the flexibility early or let it run its course, there’s a hefty wind-down animation related to Dismiss, so it ought to actually be used for escaping slightly than initiating. You ought to intention to finish the impact out of sight of any enemies.
- Dismiss is designed to disclaim trades, which implies to stop the enemy workforce from killing you instantly after you kill a number of of them. As Reyna you must intention to drive 1v1 fights, but when you end up outnumbered then Dismiss is a superb panic button.
- While intangible, you’re proof against all harm – even the spike explosion. Obviously that is slightly a distinct segment piece of data, but it surely’s value remembering.
Reyna suggestions – Leer
- First factor to recollect: Leer goes via partitions. So the plain, commonest, and strongest use for this energy is to make use of it very similar to Phoenix’s or Breach’s flashes: throw it via a nook, and peek as soon as it’s up and the enemies there are blinded.
- Unlike different blinding or flashing skills in Valorant, the attention of Leer not solely must have line of sight with an enemy, but it surely additionally must be inside that enemy’s imaginative and prescient (i.e. on their display) to blind them.
- Leer doesn’t blind you or your allies – the impact solely applies to enemies. Which makes it wonderful as an initiation potential; however watch out lest you develop into too predictable together with your peeking spherical corners after throwing out the attention.
- Leer may be shot as soon as by an enemy with any weapon to destroy the attention and finish the impact. So you must typically intention Leer as far upwards as potential whereas nonetheless conserving it within the enemy’s area of view. That manner, they’ll have to maneuver their crosshair from head-height to shoot it, disrupting them additional and making them extra susceptible to your assault.
- You ought to intention to solid Leer in such a manner that enemies can’t have a look at you with out additionally wanting on the eye. Your finest wager is to solid the attention someplace above you, as a result of it’ll be very troublesome for an enemy to see you with out additionally being blinded.
- Because Leer blocks a single shot, it might probably theoretically be used as short-lived safety in opposition to sure one-shot skills, equivalent to Raze’s final.
Reyna final suggestions – Empress
- From our testing, it appears as if Empress will increase your firing fee with any weapon by round 33-35%, making it fairly a bit stronger than Brimstone’s Stim Beacon.
- Using Reyna’s ult to show your self right into a snowballing whirlwind of destruction is a little bit of a waste when there’s just one or two enemies left. Empress might be your workforce’s biggest probability when closely outnumbered, so strive to reserve it for such moments.
- While Empress is lively, killing an enemy will immediately activate the heal impact of Devour, with out you having to truly solid it or expend the orb. This means you can too use Devour on the identical kill, which (whereas Empress is lively) turns you invisible in addition to invulnerable.
- Using Dismiss on an orb that’s therapeutic you’ll finish the heal impact.
- There are clearly a whole lot of purposes for the invisibility related to Reyna’s Empress/Dismiss combo, however some of the helpful is to peek round a nook whereas invisible, spot enemies, cover once more for the wind-down animation, then peek once more, this time with the information of the enemy’s precise whereabouts.
Some extra Reyna suggestions
- Like all Duelists, Reyna’s position is scaling down the enemy workforce at any stage of a spherical. But Reyna particularly thrives on 1v1s, as a result of she will heal instantly after a kill earlier than transferring onto the following encounter. Reyna doesn’t like being outnumbered, so attempt to drive 1v1s every time potential with good positioning and skill utilization.
- Hanging again and letting allies rating kills means you aren’t making good use of Reyna’s skills, and would possibly as nicely be utilizing a unique agent. Reyna is supposed to be performed aggressively.
