Waylay vs Miks Fragging Analysis
Waylay edges out Miks in a competitive fragging comparison, winning 3 of 5 metrics with notable advantages in kill production, survivability, damage output. With only a 3-2 margin based on 5 matches analyzed, this Waylay vs Miks matchup remains contestable for both sides. Miks shouldn't feel outgunned — the statistical gap is narrow enough that individual skill, positioning choices, and in-game decision making can easily swing specific encounters in Miks's favor.
Avg KDA
1.47Waylay
1.49Miks
The KDA comparison between Waylay and Miks reveals an exceptionally tight contest, with Waylay averaging 1.47 and Miks posting 1.49. This razor-thin margin of just 0.02 demonstrates that neither agent has a systematic fragging advantage in this matchup. When facing each other in ranked games, success depends almost entirely on individual player mechanics, crosshair placement, and split-second decision making rather than any inherent agent kit advantage. Players on either side should approach these duels with confidence, knowing the statistical playing field is level.
Avg Kills
17.4Waylay
13.6Miks
The kill differential between Waylay and Miks is dramatic: 17.4 versus 13.6, representing 3.8 additional kills per game for Waylay. This massive gap shows Waylay consistently dominates the kill feed when these agents meet. For Miks players, this data suggests a fundamental mismatch in direct combat scenarios. Success against Waylay requires reimagining your role — become the setup player, the information gatherer, the utility specialist — rather than trying to match Waylay's fragging output head-to-head.
Avg Deaths
14.8Waylay
17.4Miks
The death disparity between Waylay and Miks is stark: 14.8 versus 17.4 deaths per game. Miks dies 2.6 more times per match on average, fundamentally impacting their ability to influence rounds. This suggests Miks either takes unfavorable fights against Waylay or lacks the tools to disengage safely. Miks players must completely rethink their aggression patterns — prioritize information and utility over kills, always have an exit plan, and never take coin-flip duels against Waylay.
DMG/Round
151.8Waylay
132.9Miks
Waylay significantly outdamages Miks in head-to-head encounters, posting 151.8 ADR versus 132.9. This 18.9 damage-per-round advantage means Waylay consistently wins the damage exchange in firefights, either securing kills outright or leaving opponents weak for teammates to clean up. Miks players should avoid prolonged dueling with Waylay — instead, look for quick picks with burst damage weapons or rely on ability damage and team crossfires to compensate for the raw gunfight disadvantage.
HS %
31.1%Waylay
33.5%Miks
Miks demonstrates notably superior headshot accuracy against Waylay: 33.5% versus 31.1%. This 2.4 percentage point gap in precision means Miks ends gunfights faster, conserves more ammo, and wins more 50-50 duels where both players see each other simultaneously. Waylay faces a real disadvantage in aim duels and should compensate through utility, positioning, or weapon choices that don't require headshot precision (shotguns, Odin spraying through smokes, etc.).

Attack Side Breakdown
The attack-side performance gap between Waylay and Miks is dramatic: 61.1% versus 46.0%, a commanding 15.1 percentage point advantage. Waylay dominates offensive scenarios in this matchup to a degree that requires Miks to fundamentally change their approach to attack-side play.
Our analysis of 5 competitive matches reveals Waylay has overwhelming attack-side superiority in every measurable category. Site executions, entry success, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all massively favor Waylay. This isn't a gap that Miks can overcome through practice or "playing better" — it's a structural matchup disadvantage. Miks teams must build their entire attack strategy around protecting Miks from direct Waylay engagement: give Miks lurk roles, put them in trade positions rather than entry, and design executes where Miks's weaknesses are covered by teammate utility.
Under no circumstances should Miks take entry duels against Waylay. The 15.1% attack gap makes entry fragging against Waylay one of the lowest-percentage plays in Valorant. Miks must exclusively play support roles on attack: flash for teammates, smoke for executes, trade after entries, or create map pressure through lurks that don't involve Waylay confrontation. Waylay should actively hunt Miks entries, knowing the statistical advantage is overwhelming.

Miks's post-plant conversion rate against Waylay is catastrophic. The data shows Miks fails to hold spike plants at a dramatically higher rate than Waylay. Never leave Miks alone post-plant — they need constant teammate support, crossfire setups, and utility coordination to have any chance of winning these scenarios. Consider not planting at all if Miks is the only survivor. Waylay should play extremely confidently in post-plants, knowing Miks struggles to convert even favorable positions.
Defense Side Breakdown
The defensive disparity between Waylay and Miks is substantial: 54.0% versus 38.9%, a 15.1 point chasm. Waylay absolutely dominates CT side in this matchup — their site holds are significantly harder to break, their retake contributions more impactful, and their defensive utility more effective at every level.
Miks cannot be trusted with traditional site anchor responsibilities against Waylay. The 15.1% defensive gap is too large to overcome through positioning or individual skill. Teams must protect Miks: pair them with multiple teammates, give them off-site lurk positions, or have them rotate immediately when Waylay's presence is identified on their site. Waylay should aggressively anchor the most difficult sites on any map, knowing their defensive capability is overwhelming.
Miks should avoid retake scenarios against Waylay entirely when possible. The data from 5 matches shows Miks's retake conversion rate against Waylay is dramatically lower than average. If Miks must retake, require 3+ player numbers advantage and full utility coordination. Waylay should play post-plant positions knowing Miks lacks the capability to effectively contest them. In clutch scenarios, Waylay wins at overwhelming rates.
Economy decisions for Miks must account for their defensive inadequacy. Force buying against Waylay is essentially throwing away credits — the defensive gap makes partial buys nearly unwinnable. Miks should always advocate for full saves, building toward rounds where team utility can compensate for their individual defensive weakness. Waylay can confidently force and half-buy, knowing their defensive advantages persist across all economy states.
Overall Side Analysis
Waylay demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (61.1%) and defense (54.0%), comprehensively outperforming Miks across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 5 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Waylay holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Miks's disadvantage in this matchup. Waylay outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Miks into Waylay, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Miks's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Miks in isolated Waylay encounters.
For ranked climbing, avoid playing Miks when you expect to face Waylay frequently. The 30.2 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Waylay is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Waylay decisively wins the Waylay vs Miks matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Waylay has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Miks players facing Waylay should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.
Duelist vs Controller Dynamics
The Duelist (Waylay) vs Controller (Miks) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Waylay's Duelist abilities serve different purposes than Miks's Controller kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Duelist abilities interact with Controller counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Waylay's Duelist toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Miks's Controller kit counters others. The Waylay advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
Waylay vs Miks matchup breakdown: Waylay dominates with a 80.0% win rate across 5 matches. Higher damage output (152 ADR) gives Waylay a clear edge. See attack/defense stats and combat analysis.
