Waylay’s Release Timing in Mumbai (India) Server
As Season 25 Act 1 comes to a close, players should prepare for the transition leading to Waylay’s introduction. The competitive queue will temporarily close at the end of Act 1, preventing access to ranked matches. However, during the last hours of the current act, players can still engage in other game modes, such as Swiftplay or Spike, allowing for uninterrupted gaming experiences.
Subsequent to this, the servers will likely enter a maintenance phase lasting from two to four hours, during which players should expect a brief interruption. Specifically for the Mumbai (India) servers, maintenance is projected to commence at 2:30 AM IST on March 6, 2025. Players can anticipate the downtime ending between 4:30 AM and 6:30 AM IST, at which point the update, including Waylay and the new Season 25 Act 2 Battlepass, will be ready for download.
Exploring Waylay’s Abilities in Valorant
As a Duelist, Waylay brings a diverse range of skills to the battlefield. Below is a summary of her striking abilities:
- Refract: Instantly create a beam of light on the ground. Reactivation allows Waylay to return to the beacon as a mote of light, where she remains invulnerable during travel.
- Light Speed: Activate for a swift burst of speed. The main fire allows for two forward dashes, while the alternate fire executes a single dash, with the first dash providing an upward boost.
- Saturate: Launch a cluster of light that explodes upon contact with the ground, impairing nearby players by significantly reducing their mobility and weapon efficiency.
- Convergent Paths: Focus Waylay’s prismatic abilities by generating an afterimage that emits a light beam. After a short delay, Waylay gains a substantial speed boost and the beam expands, obstructing enemies in the surrounding area.
As the community adjusts to Waylay’s unique skill set, it will be fascinating to observe the impact she will have on the evolving Agent meta within Valorant.
