So I've been playing the new scout agent a ton lately and I'm totally stuck on the skill order. I read that guide on the wiki that says you gotta max the recon drone first for the passive intel but then I was watching this high rank streamer last night and they were saying the flash is actually the priority for solo queue survivability. My logic was that the drone helps the whole team more but honestly in my silver games nobody even looks at the map so maybe the self-peel from the flash is better? I've only got until Sunday to hit my rank goal before the season reset so I dont wanna waste time testing the wrong build... what are you guys actually finding success with?

Prioritize flash for solo queue. Team intel is useless if nobody listens, so save the drone for stacks. Use the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Wireless 32000 DPI Mouse for better mechanical consistency.

Regarding what #1 said about prioritizing flash for solo queue, I totally agree. It works well and I've got no complaints with that strat. Just a warning tho, dont overspend on utility early. New players waste credits on drones they dont use and then cant afford a rifle... that econ mistake kills more rank pushes than bad aim tbh.

Just catching up on this thread. Honestly, after seeing this play out over multiple seasons, it really depends on which brand of player you are. You have to decide if you want to be the playmaker or the facilitator. To give you a solid recommendation, I have two questions:
- Do you find yourself entrying most rounds or are you usually the last one alive?
- Are you more comfortable winning with raw mechanics or with information? The flash priority is basically the aggressive brand of play, while the drone is the tactical brand. In silver, being the carry usually works better, but it really depends on your own comfort level.
