2. 🤔 Miks Ability Analysis and Meta Impact Prediction
· 'Harmonize' grants combat stims to allies and also applies the effect to Miks. The effect refreshes on kills, suggesting strong synergy with agents like Neon and Jett.
· It's unclear exactly what effects the combat stims provide (damage increase, movement speed increase, or both), but they appear similar to Brimstone's stim beacon.
· 'Impulse' is considered the most interesting ability as it can switch between stun and healing effects. Being able to hold two allows for flexible use depending on the situation, and the stun radius appears larger than the healing radius.
· 'Waveform' is a map-targeting smoke grenade, and some criticize it for lacking creativity as it's not significantly different from existing agents' smokes. It seems this ability is why Clove's post-death smoke duration was nerfed.
· The ultimate, 'Base Quake,' is an area-of-effect attack that simultaneously applies knockback, deafen, and slow effects. The stacking of multiple effects demonstrates powerful battlefield control.
· Miks's overall skillset seems focused on area control and site entry, potentially further empowering the playstyles of agents like Neon and Jett, who are strong in the current meta.
· Concerns are also raised that the new agent might solidify the current meta rather than changing it.
