Vyse

Metallic mastermind Vyse unleashes liquid metal to isolate, trap, and disarm her enemies. Through cunning and manipulation, she forces all who oppose her to fear the battlefield itself.

Abilities

C

Razorvine

EQUIP a nest of liquid metal. FIRE to launch. Upon landing, the nest becomes invisible. When ACTIVATED, it sprawls out into a large razorvine nest which slows and damages all players who move through it.

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

Q

Shear

EQUIP filaments of liquid metal. FIRE to place a hidden wall trap. When an enemy crosses, an indestructible wall bursts from the ground behind them. The wall lasts for a brief time before dissipating.

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

E

Arc Rose

EQUIP an Arc Rose. Target a surface and FIRE to place a stealthed Arc Rose, or ALT FIRE to place the Arc Rose through it. REUSE to blind all players looking at it. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.

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

X

Steel Garden

EQUIP a bramble of liquid metal. FIRE to send the metal erupting from you as a torrent of metal thorns, JAMMING enemy primary weapons after a brief windup.

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

What a Sentinel does

Sentinels hold ground. Their kits watch flanks, lock down a site and buy the time the rest of the team needs to rotate.

Sentinels are defensive experts who can lock down areas and watch flanks, both on attacker and defender rounds.

How Vyse’s kit is bought

Two of Vyse’s abilities are bought with credits each round and lost on death. Arc Rose is the signature ability, so it’s free every round. Steel Garden 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 — Vyse was developed as “Nox”. The codenames survive in the game files long after release.

Playing Vyse

Vyse has 4 usable abilities per round. Two are bought with credits and lost on death, which means an eco round genuinely changes what Vyse can do — not just what gun you hold.

The habit that separates good sentinels 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.
