Compared to all the other agents, the abilities Astra have a different mechanism, this is with the exception of Omen’s smokes. By going into the buy screen, the agent will be able to purchase nodes. After doing that, using the X/ult button will make Astra to enter an interface in which she will start hovering over the map to place the nodes. Astra was released along with the new Act 2 battle pass on the 2nd of March. Now during the game, it is also possible for the agent to retract these nodes (there will be a cool-down before they can be redeployed). If these nodes are triggered, they can be used to do one of the following below mentioned abilities:

• Gravity well: Using this ability will pull the in players within its radius and after that, it will explode. This adds a weakening debuff to the players who get caught in the blast.
• Nova pulse: When this ability is activated, it will start charging for a brief period and then concusses the players who get caught in its radius.
• Nebula: This ability makes use of smoke. The functioning of these smokes is similar to that of Omen. The smokes themselves are hollow on the inside.
• Cosmic Divide: This is the ultimate ability of Astra, and just like all of her utility this can be triggered through the hovering map interface. Cosmic divide creates a massive barrier, placed by the player, that dampens audio and blocks bullets. It is possible to walk through this barrier.
