When tossed in the right spot, it can prevent your enemies from launching a successful offense. Tossing the grenade at an enemy's location can buy enough time for your team to establish better cover, positional advantage, or simply allow for some easy kills.

Orbital Strike shines the brightest, when placed onto the location of the Spike, dispatching of any enemy looking to disarm the Spike or to simply stop them from even being near its location. This ability can be used to dispatch of a well set up team, through its insanely high damage potential. If done in the right location it can also separate even a well-coordinated team, allowing for players to pick apart the enemy's defenses and strategy. If used correctly Orbital Strike can simply end around and even a match.

She can put up a smoke wall to blind enemies, throw down a toxic area of effect grenade, and can summon a poisonous smoke cloud to help choke a point.
