Sentinel
Killjoy
Turret-and-alarmbot sentinel who locks sites down with gadgets.
Should you main Killjoy?
Killjoy anchors sites with Alarmbot, Turret, and Nanoswarms that punish anyone who walks onto the bomb without clearing utility. Lockdown can force a full rotate or buy enough time for a retake. She is the Sentinel for players who like setup rounds and post-plant denial.
Her strength is information and delay, not flashy entries. On defense she usually locks the site she knows best; on attack she plants and covers the Spike with swarms while the team plays for time. Lineups for post-plant nanoswarms are worth learning on every map you queue.
Choose Killjoy when your team needs a site anchor and you are willing to watch cameras and bots instead of lurking for picks. She is friendlier than Cypher for new Sentinels because the turret covers a lane even when your crosshair is elsewhere. Respect opponents who clear bots with utility before they swing you.
Pre-round, place the turret on an angle you will not personally hold, and keep one Nanoswarm for the plant spot rather than dumping both on a panic. Lockdown is strongest when your team is ready to retake or when it forces attackers into a worse site with time bleeding out.
