2 under-used Kayo flashes

2 ways to flash with Kayo that I don't see enough people doing.

wish they included the mechanic like in cs go where you can click both left and right mouse button to adjust throw power. awesome video. thanks

I thought I would love this character but honestly because of how different the flash speed works on him vs cs I have a hard time adjusting to years and years of that in built timing.

Kayo is a cs players favourite champion. Flashes and mollies as usual and suppressions to counter all the cancerous abilities

[FireDragons]

pop flash AND swinging is also better (different from pop flash THEN swing)

May I also add that there are 2 types of flashes.
One where you want to actually blind you enemy (maybe the second flash of the video) the other where you just want him to turn around or lose position of an angle (first flash of the video).

If you want to blind you enemy, you peek AFTER the flash pops. This implies a more subtle flash, which cant be seen/dodged. Then you kill him while blind.

If you want your opponent to turn around, you peek BEFORE the flash pops. You throw a more obvious flash, opponents see it and turn around or hide. You have to take advange of that small window of opportunity to catch him facing the other way.
Lots of mini mindgames can be played around flashes.

its alright to confuse the enemies i guess but in valorant you can also hear the flash when its thrown so for me its always better to right click with kayo

The first one was a really, REALLY bad flash for an early round. Cuz not many people peek that wide and won't be flashed. You are probably gonna get tapped by 3 people if you peek thinking everyone is gonna be flashed.

The most fun is though, right clicking it at the perfect distance so it explodes as soon as the area comes under view. You throw the flash a bit behind and above you and peek with the flash. Took me a while to master and I kept getting tapped even before the flash exploded. That is why timing and position matters so much

Edit : lots of people thinking I'm unconditionally hating on the YouTube video. I am not, neither am I being toxic towards the content creator. His content is obviously helpful, but I just wanted to point out a small mistake. Thank you for reading >:)

Peek before the flash goes off, get 1 tapped, flash goes off. Genius.

[ryancals]

I also do that with phoenix, its a really good way to not flash yourself when trying to peek and kill without getting flashed by your own skill

[jordanmeer]

dont forget ceiling flashes are nuts too. Running jumping throw it into a doorway. Works well around A Main on fracture

[lordjohnnatzty]

Kayo is so good that you can play him as duelist due to his flash and molly. Just play him like you are playing cs

[teo]

havent played cs in a while, this brought back flashing out under palace vibes

[sprutxz]

there's a chance that the enemy is tenz and you get 1 tapped while peeking and enemy gets flashed after you die

[MikeWick]

Underhand flash thrown behind you is the best Kayo flash.

There’s a really good CS flash that I use when I’m stuck at generator on Ascent. There’s a metal pipe you can use to recreate it pretty consistently and it pops right as it goes over so you can peak with it and it gets pretty much everybody trying to retake the site

[nsextinct]

Because of this, I've learned something new.
Thanks!

Yeah I honestly have a hard time using flashes, good tip to keep in mind ty.

Yorus my 2nd most played, why did i never think of doing this. My standard flash to peek with is doing that first thing and its why i loved yorus flashes so much. Maybe i should start playing a little more kayo aswell

[khensationalReviews]

I do the 2nd one all the time. Glad someone else is using it

its better to pop flash in lower elo lobbies since some players dont know how kay/o's flash works
