Sova

Sova's kit is built around his bow and information:

• Recon Bolt (signature): a bolt that, where it lands, reveals enemies in its line of sight, with a couple of pulses. It can be bounced and charged to throw it far. Enemies can destroy it;
• Owl Drone: a drone you fly yourself. It can fire a dart that marks the enemy it hits, revealing their position for a few seconds;
• Shock Bolt: an explosive bolt that deals damage where it lands. It flushes out whoever is hiding in a corner or stops a defuse;
• Hunter's Fury (ultimate): three energy blasts that cross the whole map in a straight line, through walls, dealing damage and revealing whoever they hit.

Sova's strength is lineups: precise spots from which the bolt lands exactly where needed, even far away and behind obstacles.

Pick Sova when:

• the team needs information before going in: a well-thrown Recon Bolt tells you how many defenders are on a site and where;
• the map has big sites with many positions, where knowing where the defenders are saves checking them one by one;
• the team plays slow and organized: Sova's information is used to decide where to go and how to enter;
• you want an agent who is useful in the post-plant too: bolts thrown from range hit the defuser without exposing yourself.

Sova is also a great agent for learning to read the map: every bolt forces you to think about where the enemies are and where they might come from.
