Sova Tips & Tricks
- When using your drone, fly it low to the floor. Therefore you misplace the enemy crosshair if they want to shoot it. As a result your teammates that might be pushing with the drone have an easier time winning the duel.
- There are four power levels to your Recon Bolt and Shock Bolt: three for each portion of the power gauge, and then a fourth for maxing out the gauge. To clarify there is nothing like a 2.5 power charge. Therefore it’s easy to recreate lineups.
- You can stick a Recon Bolt to an enemy. Consequently the enemy hit can not shoot the bolt himself.
- A Shock Dart volley describes shooting 2 Shock Darts that land at the same time at the same spot. Because one dart deals up to 90 damage landing both darts can oneshot the enemy.
- Recon Bolts and Shock Bolts have the exact same fireing mechanic.
- The ultimate Hunter’s Fury has no damage dropoff. In short 2 hits will always kill an enemy.
- Using your ult after getting a tag with your drone allows to hit your ult more easily.
