If you’ve playedStrinovafor even a bit, you’ll quickly realize that it’s quite a fast-paced game where you can get knocked out of the round quickly if you’re not careful. This is especially true when you’re playing a sniping character like Kanami, since you can easily be dominated if you’re not careful.
On the other hand, if you learn how to use this character properly, you can also dominate the enemy without even giving them a chance to shoot at you. Of course, as a sniping character, your aim will play a big role in the game’s outcome.
Kanami Overview And Abilities, Explained
The most interesting thing about Kanami is that she can only be used on the attacking side, which means that youcan’t use her utilities and long-range to suppress enemies on defense. However, since you have to be aggressive on the attacking side, your positioning as a sniper becomes even more important.
Kanami has a single-shot sniper as her primary weapon and here’s what her abilities do:
Echo Chamber
Loads a special shot in the sniper rifle that you can shoot on any wall. When the projectile hits a wall, it’ll get stuck there andreveal any enemies in its area every few seconds. The enemies can also destroy this projectile.
Showtime (Ultimate)
This ability allows you to place a shadow of Kanami at a certain location, which will slowlypull in enemies and reduce their speed and accuracy.
Echo Reveal
Whenever you shoot as Kanami, the impact location of the shot creates a small pink area, and enemies in this area are revealed.
Best Kanami Loadout
As you might already know, youcan’t change the main weaponfor your superstring, but you canequip a secondary weapon and two tactical items of your choice. For Kanami, Stinger is the best secondary weapon for most people since it’ll help you defeat enemies that come close to you.
You can also useAthena if your aim is goodsince this gun can easily destroy enemies.
When it comes to tactical items, Kanami can get themost use out of Tattletale and Windstorm Grenadefor the following reasons:
Apart from your loadout before the game starts, you also havemultiple buffs to buy during the gamethat can easily change how much value you get from Kanami. Ideally, you’d want to have light regen armor on her since you can easily hide before you take significant damage. The lower cooldown for her Echo Chamber is also the best buff to get.
As for the Awaken abilities, you’ll getmore value from Melodic Boost as this will buff all your teammates, but you’re able to use Echo Shock if your team isn’t playing together properly. It’s also important to get reload speed in the capacity section since Kanami has quite a long reload time without it.
While the rest of the buffs are your choice, you can get slightly morevalue from rechambering speed, stringified damage, and sprint speed.
