Initiator
Sova
Recon arrow and drone initiator; lineups turn site takes into a puzzle you already solved.
Should you main Sova?
Sova is the lineup Initiator: Recon Bolt reveals angles, Shock Darts chip or clear corners, Owl Drone scouts before a swing, and Hunter's Fury walls off a site or finishes low players through cover. His kit rewards map study more than raw aim.
Teams draft him when they want reliable info on bind-style sites and post-plant darts that deny a defuse. He is slower than Fade or Gekko at creating instant fight advantages, but his dart lineups are still among the most consistent clears in the game when you know them.
Play Sova if you enjoy learning a few lineups per map and calling what the bolt saw. Skip him if you hate homework or your team already has a recon Initiator. Start with one attack and one defense lineup per map before expanding; bad bolts that bounce into nowhere waste the round's info budget.
Shock Dart lineups that clear common default corners are worth more than vanity across-map darts you never hit. Call the Recon result in one short sentence so your Duelist can swing on the right timing instead of guessing from the audio cue alone.
