Abilities

Q

Harmonize

EQUIP Harmonize. Target an ally and FIRE to activate a Combat Stim and a speed boost on yourself and the ally that refreshes with each kill. ALT-FIRE to grant Combat Stim and speed boost to yourself.

Bought with credits at the start of a round, and lost when you die.

E

Waveform

EQUIP a Map Targeter. FIRE to set locations. ALT-FIRE to spawn Smokes at selected locations.

The signature ability — free every round, and on some agents it recharges through play rather than being bought.

Bassquake

EQUIP Bassquake. FIRE to build up and unleash Sonic Radiance forward, knocking back, Deafening, and Slowing players.

Charged by ultimate orbs, kills, deaths and planting or defusing the spike.

What a Controller does

Controllers cut the map into pieces. Smokes and area denial decide which angles exist at all, letting a team take a site while ignoring half the defenders on it.

Controllers are experts in slicing up dangerous territory to set their team up for success.

How Miks’s kit is bought

Two of Miks’s abilities are bought with credits each round and lost on death. Waveform is the signature ability, so it’s free every round. Bassquake is the ultimate and can’t be bought at all — it charges through play.

Riot builds each agent under an internal codename before the character exists — Miks was developed as “Iris”. The codenames survive in the game files long after release.

Playing Miks

Miks has 3 usable abilities per round. Two are bought with credits and lost on death, which means an eco round genuinely changes what Miks can do — not just what gun you hold.

The habit that separates good controllers from bad ones is spending abilities rather than saving them. They don’t carry over between rounds, so an unused ability at the end of a round is credits you set on fire.
