Initiator · Information engine

Initiators challenge angles by setting up their team to enter contested ground and push defenders away.

Why we fit it where we do Long straight lanes are where a dart returns a whole site instead of a corner.

The four

  • Owl DroneC · recon

    EQUIP an owl drone. FIRE to deploy and take control of movement of the drone. While in control of the drone, FIRE to shoot a marking dart. This dart will Reveal the location of any player struck by the dart. Enemies can destroy the Owl Drone.

  • Shock BoltQ · damage

  • Recon BoltE · recon
