List of Yoru’s abilities

Blindside

One of the main abilities that is available to an extent for each agent. No doubt, we are speaking about an analogue of a flash grenade that in the case with Yoru is an element that creates flashes when hitting any surface.

However, the main distinctive feature of Blindside is that the released element must hit or bounce from any surface to explode and blind opponents.

But it has its benefits as the player does not have to build difficult lines to cause troubles for the opponent. Besides, it is enough to throw the fragment to the nearest wall to blind the opponent from a cover and start to reclaim the positions.

Nevertheless, Blindside does not work at long distances as opponents will get a chance to turn away from the flash, having noticed it flying. Besides, if the flash does not reach the surface, the charge will disappear and will not affect the opponents in any way.

How to play: Press LBM to throw the flash that will explode and blind the opponents once it hits a solid surface.

The second option will allow him to distract opponents, releasing the marker and feigning opponents who are waiting for teleportation.

Yoru can release a forward moving marker and delay teleportation for a second to attract as many opponents as possible. The player will be given 30 seconds to use the teleport, buying as much time for the team as he could.

Therefore, Gatecrash becomes a strong surprise factor in specific situations. However, you need to use the ability smartly and manage time to gain maximum profit from the ability.

This ability can be used in many different ways as the player can release his reflection forward or create an unmovable sound background. In the first case Yoru’s clone grabs opponents’ attention. In the second situation the player can hide behind a cover and catch the opponents off-guard, imitating his steps.

Main advantage of Dimensional Rift is an opportunity to use secondary abilities while being in a different dimension. Therefore, Yoru can explore the area and after releasing the blinding flash, leave the dimension and blind the opponents.

How to play as Yoru

Despite the fact that Yoru is a duelist who must remain in shadows to reveal all his abilities. In other words, the character plays the role of a support duelist who must operate covertly.

However, this particular skillset helps Yoru in a classic game as Blindside and Gatecrash could be used to distract opponents and detect important areas of the map.

Main tips that will help to play as Yoru:

• Use Gatecrash to deceive the opponents. Place the clone in the opposite part of the map to buy time for your team and change the position.
• With the help of Dimensional Rift you can stabs your opponents in the back. Use the ultimate ability to surprise the opponents. However, you have to remember that when approaching the opponents, Yoru becomes noticeable.

Summing up, Yoru is a duelist who must enter the opponents’ position and stand in the opposite side from his team but also help them in difficult moments. You should remember that the agent depends on his skills a lot.

Therefore, the player need to operate covertly and manage the timer effectively, coordinating his actions with the team. But still Yoru will appeal to all players who act in secret and are capable of completing the round on their own.
