Skye

Skye's kit combines information, flashes and healing:

• Regrowth: a healing area that heals teammates in range (not yourself) while you keep it active;
• Trailblazer: a dog you steer in first person. You can make it leap forward to concuss whoever it hits. It tells you whether a space is occupied, and sets up the fight;
• Guiding Light (signature): a hawk you steer in flight and can detonate into a flash. When the flash hits an enemy, Skye gets a signal: it is information too;
• Seekers (ultimate): three creatures that hunt the nearest enemies and nearsight them when they reach them. They can be destroyed, but they force a reaction and reveal where the enemies are.

Skye is one of the few initiators who can both find enemies and blind them with the same abilities.

Pick Skye when:

• the team needs an initiator who brings flashes and information together: every hawk you throw blinds and tells you whether someone was there;
• the map has tight corners and doors to clear, where the dog can check a space before a teammate goes in;
• the team fights a lot and for long, with several fights in the same round: Regrowth's healing keeps teammates going between fights;
• you want an ultimate that is useful in every phase: Seekers gives info on attack, on defense and in the retake.

Skye is also a great agent for players who want to learn to play for others: almost her whole kit serves her teammates.

On top of that, Skye is useful in solo queue teams, where often nobody brings healing: Regrowth keeps up teammates who would otherwise take the next fight on low health, and it changes the outcome of many long rounds.
