How to use Gekko's Dizzy (E) on Valorant's Abyss map?
Dizzy is Gekko's signature ability and fires plasma blasts at enemies in its line of sight. Make sure to throw Dizzy up as high as possible for maximum coverage. This is particularly useful on Abyss as there are several high walls as well as boxes you can take cover behind.
Try to bounce Dizzy off walls so that the Globule lands in cover or close to you so you can collect it easily for reuse. This will give you multiple opportunities to use Dizzy throughout a round.
