Valorant: Complete Sova Abyss guide

Valorant enthusiasts often seek a Sova Abyss guide to dominate any lobby of Riot’s tactical shooter with this Russian native. With proper use of this Russian Agent’s unique abilities in Abyss, players, regardless of their ranks can get a competitive edge over their opponents.

Following the release of the Norwegian map, Sova has been a very niche pick. However, with this guide, you can surpass any other Initiators available in the match. With that in mind, here’s a Sova Abyss guide to help you wreak havoc on the unique Norwegian map.

Sova Abyss guide: How to use Owl Drone

Sova's Owl Drone is one of the useful basic abilities in-game. It helps your teammates to determine enemy whereabouts and tag any one of them with a marking dart. Using this dart on that enemy will provide live information about their activities on the site. However, you must be careful while using the drone as the enemy can destroy it by shooting bullets.

This Sova Abyss guide will showcase different spots from where you can acquire information about enemy activities:

Sova Abyss guide: How to use Shock Bolt

Sova's Shock bolt is another piece of basic utility that can inflict lethal damage to any enemy. Initiator mains usually use this to provide damage to any enemy holding cheeky corners. On the other hand, they can also use bolts to get information about any unknown hiding spot. However, they mostly use it during post-plant scenarios. This utility stands out as the most viable option to win an after-plant scenario.

This Sova Abyss guide will showcase some powerful after-plant shock darts that can ensure your victory for that particular round. Here are some post-plant shock darts:

Sova Abyss guide: How to use Recon Bolt

Sova's Recon Bolt is one of the convenient signature abilities in Valorant. It's pretty useful to chuck out information in any given scenario. Upon collision, it reveals any nearby enemies pushing or hiding in various spots. Based on that information, your team can pre-plan the approach for fighting the enemy.

This Sova Abyss guide will showcase some exceptional Recon Bolt spots that will give you a competitive advantage over your opponents.

Sova Abyss guide: How to use Hunter’s Fury

Sova's Hunter's Fury is surely one of the most dangerous ultimates in Valorant. Using it, the Russian native shoots three long-range energy blasts that pierce through walls. Each hit inflicts 80 damage to the enemies. Players can use this ability in certain scenarios regardless of the location on the map.

However, we strongly recommend you use it in after-plant scenarios when the spike's location is known. Meanwhile, you can also exploit this ability after tagging one enemy with their Owl Drone. Tagging with the drone will help you track the live enemy location for a couple of seconds.
