Introdução
Waylay is a duelist in Valorant. Thailand's prismatic radiant Waylay transforms into light itself as she darts across the battlefield, striking down her targets through shards of light before flitting back to safety, all in the blink of an eye. Duelists are self-sufficient fraggers who their team expects, through abilities and skills, to get high frags and seek out engagements first.
Pontos fortes
- Brings movement: Lightspeed (Q), Refract (E) and Convergent Paths (X).
- Brings damage: Saturate (C).
- Brings slows: Saturate (C) and Convergent Paths (X).
- Brings buffs for the team: Convergent Paths (X).
Pontos fracos
- No blind in the kit, which a duelist usually has: lean on your team for it.
- No healing in the kit, which a duelist usually has: lean on your team for it.
- No ability that reveals enemies: your information comes from teammates and sound.

Estratégia
1Your job
As a duelist, your job is to take space first: be the one who enters the site or peeks the contested angle, win the opening duel or trade it, and create room for the rest of the team.
2Abilities
Waylay's kit, key by key, and what the game says each ability does:
- C — Saturate: damage and slows.
- Q — Lightspeed: movement.
- E — Refract: movement.
- X — Convergent Paths (ultimate): movement, slows and buffs for the team.
3On attack
- Lightspeed (Q) gets you to a deep position the defence does not expect.
- Wait for your initiator's utility, then enter immediately behind it: a flash or a reveal is only worth something for a second or two.
- Use your movement ability to reach the deep position of the site, not the first corner: your teammates take the angles you leave behind.
- Stay close enough that your death can be traded; an entry that dies alone and far away gives the round away.
4On defense
- Take an aggressive early angle to pick up information or a first kill, then fall back before the utility arrives.
- Keep your movement ability to escape or to rotate: a duelist on defence is at its best on retakes.
5Economy
What to buy depending on the credits the team has:
- Pistol round: Ghost.
- Eco or bonus: Spectre — cheap, accurate while moving close up and silenced: good to take space on a bonus round.
- Full buy: Vandal — the same head damage at every distance: a one-tap at any range rewards the duelist who peeks first.
- Abilities in this order: E > Q > C; Convergent Paths (X) is charged, not bought.
6Maps
On three-site maps defences are spread thin: fast entries punish sites held by one or two players. Three-site maps in the pool: Haven and Lotus.
- Abyss: sites A, B · 23 callouts.
- Ascent: sites A, B · 22 callouts.
- Bind: sites A, B · 24 callouts.
- Breeze: sites A, B · 23 callouts.
- Corrode: sites A, B · 21 callouts.
- Fracture: sites A, B · 22 callouts.
- Haven: sites A, B, C · 21 callouts.
- Icebox: sites A, B · 25 callouts.
- Lotus: sites A, B, C · 28 callouts.
- Pearl: sites A, B · 26 callouts.
- Split: sites A, B · 24 callouts.
- Summit: sites A, B · 24 callouts.
- Sunset: sites A, B · 17 callouts.
7Common mistakes
- Entering without anyone ready to trade you.
- Spending your movement ability to get into position and having nothing left to escape.
- Chasing kills on defence instead of holding your part of the map.
Dicas
- Buy your mobility first every round: it is what lets you take a fight and survive it.
- Talk as you enter: calling how many are on site is as useful as the kill.
- Several duelist abilities reset with kills: check your ability tooltip and play for the second fight.
- Crosshair at head height, always: most of the duels are decided by the first bullet.
