How to use Relay Bolt on Valorant's Abyss map?

Let us talk about the Relay Bolt first in this Neon Abyss guide. Being able to concuss your opponents is a highly viable strategy in Valorant and with Neon's Relay Bolt ability, you can stun two spots at the same time.

To extract the most out of this ability, you must either be ready to swing after you stun your opponents or have a teammate ready to peek on your cue.

Keep in mind the duration of this ability, as using it haphazardly will most likely get you caught in the open. So, follow this Neon Abyss guide just to be safe.

How to use High Gear on Valorant's Abyss map?

High Gear is the bread and butter of Neon's abilities. The speed boost and slides need little to no introduction in this Neon Abyss guide. This ability is great for aggressive plays as your opponents are often not ready for you to go zooming past their shots.

With a slide charge resetting every two kills, a great Neon player can squeeze the most value out of this broken ability with the right mixture of confidence and practice. Although it is fun to run around the map solo and sliding into action, this ability works best when coordinated with your team.


How to use Overdrive on Valorant's Abyss map?

Neon's Ultimate ability, called Overdrive gives you a highly accurate lightning beam with all of her movement abilities. This is a great ability to activate in a pinch as the amazing movement accuracy and damage of the lightning beam can melt your enemy team's health super fast.

There is no specific spot or lineup for an ability like this, so the only thing this Neon Abyss guide can tell you is to never stop moving when this ability is active. Make yourself a hard target to hit while dealing deadly damage.
