waylay guide how to play waylay

Valorant’s latest agent, Waylay, has quickly become a fan favorite — especially for aggressive Duelist players who love high-risk, high-reward moments. In MrLowlander’s latest Way to Ascendant episode, we get an in-depth look at Waylay’s kit in action, loaded with essential tips, hilarious mistakes, and a promotion to Platinum 3.

From smart ult usage to bad habit calls, here’s what we learned.


Don’t Run from Waylay’s Ultimate — Fight Smart

One of the most important takeaways? Don’t pull out your knife when caught in Waylay’s ult. It’s tempting to run, but you’ll struggle to pull your gun out in time once the ult ends — and that mistake cost a Chamber big time in one of Lowlander’s clutch rounds.

Tip: If you can’t escape the ult zone, keep your gun out. You might survive the follow-up duel.


Use Waylay’s Dash + Escape Aggressively (But Wisely)

Waylay thrives in chaotic fights thanks to her dash mobility and escape options, allowing for quick entries and disengages. Lowlander demonstrates aggressive entry techniques, like dashing through smokes and taking platform control — but also warns players to avoid recklessness, especially against eco buys where you risk giving up your weapon.


Communication Is Key When Using Her Ultimate

Waylay’s Hinder (stun) can affect teammates if not communicated. In one round, Lowlander accidentally stunned his Jet while ulting a tower player. The takeaway? Always call out your ult to your team, especially in coordinated fights.


Bonus Tip: Learn Agents by Maining Them Temporarily

Lowlander shares a powerful insight — by maining Omen in the past, he learned to anticipate Omen smokes and pushes. The same goes for Waylay: if you want to understand her counters, try playing her for a few weeks.


Clutch Mentality and Tactical Adjustments

Whether it’s baiting a defuse, waiting before peeking, or taking a different post-plant path, Lowlander emphasizes thinking outside the box. Repeating the same tactics? Enemies will catch on. Switch it up and stay unpredictable.


A Few Mistakes to Learn From

Let’s be honest, even Lowlander admits he keeps forgetting to use Hinder. His vow? “I’ll use it more next episode.” That said, it’s a reminder to fully utilize your agent’s kit, not just the flashy dash or ult.


Wrapping It Up — Consistent Climb, One Rank at a Time

From hilarious teammate comments to clever smoke baits, this episode is a goldmine of practical Waylay tips and relatable ranked moments. The best part? MrLowlander hits Platinum 3, keeping up a one-rank-per-week pace — a solid grind in the eyes of many.
