Lore

Kailani Evans was a world-renowned professional surfer and passionate marine biologist from Australia's Gold Coast. Her life changed during a deep-sea research expedition to map a newly discovered abyssal trench, which was unknowingly a massive Radianite deposit. A seismic event triggered a "First Light" scale energy release, engulfing her submersible and imbuing her with hydrokinetic powers.

Kingdom Corporation, tracking the energy spike, attempted to seize her and weaponize her newfound abilities. Kailani fought back, using her powers to escape their facility and sink their research vessel. Her spectacular escape put her on the radar of the Valorant Protocol. Sage and Brimstone offered her a place to control her powers and use them to protect the world. Now, as "Kai," she brings the calm and the fury of the ocean to the battlefield, controlling the flow of the fight with the relentless power of the tide.

Abilities

Splash Down Ability Icon

Splash Down

C Key | 1 Charge | 250 Creds

EQUIP a glob of hyper-cohesive water. FIRE to throw it. It bursts on impact, splashing a wide area. Enemies hit or who walk through the puddle are Drenched, making audible squishing sounds with every step for 8 seconds.

Eddy Ability Icon

Eddy

Q Key | 2 Charges | 150 Creds

EQUIP an invisible anchor. FIRE to place it. ACTIVATE again to create a subtle current that drifts enemies in the direction you are facing, disrupting their movement and aim for 2 seconds.

Mirage Current Ability Icon

Mirage Current

E Key | Signature | 2 Charges | 35s Cooldown

EQUIP a wall of superheated vapor. FIRE to create a shimmering wall that blocks vision. You and your allies can see faint, distorted silhouettes of enemies moving near the other side of the wall.

Deluge Ability Icon

Tidal Rider

X Key | Ultimate | 7 Points

INSTANTLY dissolve into a fast-moving, invulnerable wave of water. While in this form, you travel forward rapidly for up to 6 seconds. You cannot stop, but you can steer your movement left and right. You are invulnerable and phase through teammates while in wave form. Enemies you collide with are not damaged but are forcefully shoved aside, dazed, and slowed for a short duration. ACTIVATE the ability again or let the timer run out to reform back into Kailani, instantly re-equipping your weapon. Upon reforming, you create a small splash that applies the Drenched effect to nearby enemies.
