1) A good sniper player I saw are the ones who always change sniping positions, DON'T stick in one place, that just screams "Come and get me" ( Even before people see you, just keep changing )

2) Look where people head the most and Aim/Avoid that area also. Let me explain :3

2A) Aim: Since you know people go there, you should know that people are going to the most populated, so going there would be a bad idea.

2B) Avoid: Also avoid that area becuause you wouldn't want to walk to that area.

3) Also know the map that a Kinessa is good on. For example.

3A) Brightmarsh vs Stone Keep.

3B) You want a lot of ledges so you can catch people jumping and falling.

*These are just general tips, but Ill tell you still because you might/not know a thing or two

Aim for the head :3
More seriously: You got the advantage of having an incredible range with your sniper and no damage falloff will in sniper mode. Range is your best friend. Stay behind your friend. You can deal up to 1200 damage(tooltip say 1000 but it's wrong), 1800 if it's a heashot, and 2400 if you use the Legendarie Card Eagle Eye
Transporter can be used as a repositioning tool or an escape tool. You onl have 2000 Hp, you're fragile. Transporter is great for getting into place that is imposibble to get into without movement abilities.
Since mine only deal 20 damage per seconds when they target an enemie, the chance that they kill them are low. The main purpose of mine are to disrupt the enemie by slowing them and allowing to you to land headshot more easily. Your weapons (sniper mode or not) deal 30% more damage to target slowned by the mine, take advantage of this. Personally: I use a deck that involve placing a lot of mine that can target multiple ennemie and I use the legendarie card Suppresion that allow multiple mine to aim for the same target and increase the base slow effect by 20%. (Still don't know if the increase is a flat 50% movement speed or if it's 20% of 30 (thus 36%). Also, they serve as a wallhack, damage dealt by the mine will be showed to you trought the walls and an audio cue will play when the mine target an enemie.
Headhunter (Ultimate) is one of the only ultimate that actually require skill. Unless you know how to aim, this ultimate will sucks. It basically allow you do deal Headshot will doing bodyshot (upper half of the body) and your shot will not use ammo. DO not that this ultimate work in both sniper and non sniper mode but only shine in sniper mode. Keep the distance: Since you glow and there's the voice line, ether the enemie will retreat if not too hard or a hero (another kinessa maybe or a flank that manage to reach you) will try to destroy you.

Nor really, Drogoz's head need to be nerferd, way to big.
Try to learn flickshots too.
Most players get slaughtered by flanks because they try to outrun flanks, which is literally impossible, try to spot and shred those flank's health to half

You know what?Just don't play kinessa.No matter how you play,whole enemy team will come after you.If enemy team is good then you will spend all your time running away from them.

[Barsik_The_CaT]

Get to places any other character can't get to. If enemy still can get to you - start dancing Conga and hope for the best.

[Anonn 20 16]

to be honnest other than your aim the only advice i could ever give about kinessa is this : be aware of enemy positions. if you can't see someone just assume he is coming for you. is that a problem? not at all! kinessa with her teleport is amazingly hard to catch and kill if played right and also her gun upclose is really damaging so she is not defenseless. i've killed sooo many kinessa players just because they are not aware at all that i am standing next to them. as long as you pay attention you will do just fine. also you can use your mines in key locations around you as a warning system if someone is coming

[xteqo]

Go for the trap build if you are against competent enemies. Trap build+put some points into your F.

Trap placement and map awareness is all you need, paired with good aim you should become scary. Trap placements is something you have to figure out for yourself, sometimes you have to position yourself further away to set up traps to see incoming enemies ASAP.

Keep in mind that you may have to play safer, but deal less damage, instead of killing someone and being picked right after.

Spell "Kinessa" Backwards niBBa.

No you can't run.

Get a flank to to keep an eye on your position. Eventually someone's going to come after you, and when they're focused on you they will be easy pickings for another flank. At least that's what usually happens to me when I go after a Kinessa. Or I get shot in the face because I'm like the worst flanker ever.

[Katang Kanari Mk III]

First to master kinessa required good eyes, who can detect small change in screen

Place mine to both line to detect any flanker, when you scoping you will see mine icon, that thing turn to green and vibrating if catch the enemy, or disappear when destroy so you will know enemy position

but not many people can notice this change when they focus to sniping
