ABILITIES:

Left Click: Sniper Rifle, Weapon with 24 Ammo, 180 damage a shot every .15 seconds (smg mode). This is useful to confirm kills or ward off flanks as its damage is significant.

Right Click: Sniper Mode, allows charging of a 1200 damage nuke with no falloff. This ability can headshot and is best utilized at maximum charge in tandem with Steady Aim

F (rebind this to Left Shift): Transporter, allows teleportation to where you deploy the transporter shortly after. This teleportation is automatic and cannot be stopped after deployed.

Q: Oppressor Mine, Acts mainly as a reconnaissance ability. You should throw these to dismount enemies at their spawn after winning a point fight by throwing them as far as you can or to detect movement at the start of rounds. Using these to watch your flanks is mandatory into aggressive players.

E: Headhunter, allows faster charging sniper shots, 50% more damage on headshots and infinite ammo for 5s. Unnoticed effect but also increases the size of the enemies head hitbox.

Tips for playing Kinessa:

1) You are able to animation cancel your reload by throwing an oppressor mine. this is a very effective filler use of time and a micro optimization.

2) You are able to take more aggressive angles than you believe you can with confidence in aim. While typically uncontested at range, that does not mean Kinessa must stay at range to deal her damage.

3) You are required to change angles more than you think. If nobody is coming around a corner and you have no reasoning to believe they will other than simply hoping, you are likely better off reassessing your surroundings and the game state to better effect the gameflow by providing damage to other angles to assuming other positions.

4) Your SMG does damage which should not be ignored, it is often better to finish enemies off with unscoped left clicks as the potential for choking is minimized and you are able to keep them under the effects of Cauterize to reduce healing.

5) TRANSPORTER CAN TELEPORT YOU THROUGH WALLS. By jumping you are able to teleport through as many walls are between you and the end point of your teleporter. This takes practice to be able to naturally tell where you will end up without indication, but is mandatory to playing Kinessa. This makes it much harder to be flanked and a lot easier to escape with your life or turn the fight.
