Gekko

Gekko fights with his creatures, and almost all of them can be reclaimed after use:

• Wingman: a creature that moves forward and seeks out enemies; when it sees one, it fires a blast that concusses them. With secondary fire you can send it to plant the spike (if you are carrying it) or to defuse it;
• Dizzy: flies forward and, after a moment, fires plasma shots that blind enemies in her line of sight;
• Mosh Pit: a grenade that, on hitting the ground, duplicates across a wide area and then explodes, dealing heavy damage. It cannot be reclaimed;
• Thrash (ultimate): a creature you steer into enemy territory; when you make it lunge, it explodes and detains nearby enemies.

After use, Wingman, Dizzy and Thrash turn into globules on the ground: if you pick them up, after a short recharge you can use them again (Thrash only once).

Pick Gekko when:

• you want an initiator who is easy to learn: the creatures do much of the work on their own, with no complicated lineups;
• the team needs flashes and stuns for the entry, but also someone who can plant or defuse without exposing themselves;
• you play a lot of post-plants and retakes: Wingman planting or defusing while you cover is an advantage no other agent has;
• the map has angles and entrances where a creature hunting the first enemy reveals and sets up the fight.

Gekko is a great agent for solo queue players who want an initiator who is useful even without much coordination: his creatures find enemies on their own.

Another advantage of Gekko is utility economy: by reclaiming globules, a single purchased ability can be used twice in the same round. In long rounds with several fights, that means more flashes and stuns than other initiators without spending more.
