I've mained Kestrel for over 4 years. She will always be my favorite hero and I just want to say to anyone wanting to main her; stay away from everyone. never get too close. farm up early before you fight, die and render yourself useless. you shouldnt try to all out fight anyone until at least lv 6, though, I've gotten plenty of kills before then. the point is to farm as much as possible for the gold. last hitting can be difficult with kestrel against certain heros (petal, ishtar). her arrows can last hit minions from afar. also, when you hit 6, your ult is your team's best friend. you need to be hyper map aware and always be on the lookout for heros who are low hp so you can potentially snipe them. some players dont like this about kestrel because you can kill steal. it doesnt matter. they will get assist gold. still, dont be greedy. if you can *help* to get the kill, help, try not to steal. if they're escaping and you're the only hero that can get the kill, even better. its important to revolve your entire playstyle around being team relevant above all. if you're always stealing easy kills, you probably wont win the game. Still, dont be too passive. It takes a lot to master kestrels ult. Take assist gold when you can. something i like to do is ult enemies I know wont die from the damage because i know my team is on the way to kill them. i get the assist gold and i can go back to my lane and farm/possibly kill an enemy. another thing is to make good use of your mist (B). any enemy who steps inside will be stunned if you auto or use glimmershot or ult on them. be careful tho. it takes a bit to *set*. more or less, you want to use this ability to escape conflict. you gain move speed and you're invisible. just keep an eye on the mist pool in case an enemy steps inside chasing you or others. In some rare instances, I use the move speed to chase low hp enemies down for kills. NEVER make it your goal to proc the stun with your ult.... pls...... the easiest is an auto attack. then you have all 4 arrows to shred with while they're stunned. in general, you have to be very very careful with kestrel. I play her WP. CP Kestrels get railed because its just not viable meta. its best to build a bonesaw after a sorrowblade on her then to go for crit and more damage. defense situational. I usually never build defense. stay on the outside of the team fight to shoot arrows into squishy heros. idk what else to say to yall really lol. Hopefully this helps any Kestrel out there who wants to get better. If you main Kestrel too, cheers. 1v1? (; IGN; SillySavage
well if they keep refurbishing petal a hero spotlight wouldn't make sense until they're satisfied with her. otherwise they have to remake the spotlight every time she gets changed. thank you for your patience and understanding.
+kuraido she's just op with her munions. The only way for them to make her spotlight is to remove the munions. im not saying they should do that but it is what it is. Noobs also cant stop complaining about petal.
+Ahmad Hamidi her minions don't make her op? They are week and only good if you have crystal. Petal is weak so I haven't seen a crystal petal in a while Mosley wp.
I miss Vainglory so much. A little bit of ads would've made this game famous. I only found Vainglory because I kept searching for a moba game for days in the App store; I doubt most people would know this game unless someone told them to because there's no ads to promote it unlike other games such as mobile legends.
Not only was it such a good game, but it was clearly made with so much love and respect for the players and the artform. The community was also wonderful and the competitive scene was great, when 5v5 first came out it was like a holiday
Its wierd looking back on this spotlight and seeing her do so little damage when we all know when she came out she was the most broken little shit ever. with her armor piercing arrows killing tanks in 3 shots... God i still have nightmares.
Man Kestrel is OP. My favorite strategy with her is serpents mask, aegis, frost burn, and journey boots. Her abilities tree is amazing and the best one is glimmer shot (in my opinion). Plus she is really good early and late game. Plus if one of your teammates its fortress for krul... R.I.P
Both Taka And Kestral can go invisibel but i sugest using the stealth of Kestrel she cane buy crystel power items to incresse the duration and stun enimese from shothing it with enimise
Kestrel is gonna be hard to counter at first, for sure. I think she's gonna end up being rather underpowered once people start figuring out how to counter her. Definitely a great, though!
OR MAYBE IT'S JUST A GOD DAMN ARROW FIRED ACROSS A LINE. IT'S JINX W, IT'S SKAARF A, IT'S EVERY SKILLSHOT ABILITY IN LEAGUE. Come on. And why the f do people think of Lux? This is an ARROW. Her ult IS A PIERCING LASER.
The only thing I don't like is the short ass cool downs on these powerful ults they need to make the timer on that thing at least 75 seconds because she pretty much spammed her ultimate in the fight
Wp (red) is if you want to be in the middle of battle, dealing constant damage and escaping at a moments notice. Cp (blue) is for burst: you need to pick your fights, since you can't cloak while being damaged and pick of low-health targets. It's like Blackfeather: go with what you like
Different group perspective. First we see her play in her perspective. In the gameplay, as you can see her health bar is red which means she is in the enemy team and we are seeing her play from a different team's perspective which is against the team she is in.
Contraption, i think is her name (tier 3 of ironguard), is so powerful versus kestrel, because you can put scout mines in all de map to see him in invisible
What are you on about yes there is, I do it all the time with Celeste. I can shoot my Solar Storm from anywhere on the map and hit my target, it's actually not that difficult
The becoming invisible mid-combat is a bit confusing, what wp items do i need to build to be able to do this? someone help me out, i would use kestrel a whole lot more if i knew how to use this
it would be cool if super evil mega corp would make an animated series about the hero's lore or the skin's lore as a 10 minute clip and some vainglory action figures just saying
brings back the memories...this game had so so so much potential🥺
I still miss it so much....
I still play!!!

+Jmonteza she is weak but indeed a beast with cp. her munions + her bomb just kills assasins
I miss vainglory, please comeback
i missed you kestrel
you were my main
Kestrel, more like Killsteal
EdAWACSdenyY - nice one
I missed the old kestrel when you can still use her active camo so long and you can still kill enemies with her ult with such damage :(
Well you still can
My absolute favourite hero
My new favorite hero :D Sounds OP
+Ish ;)
shhhh, don't say that, she's not OP ;) plz no nerf SEMC
+Ken Kavin lol no target unit skill bowman in moba is automaticly useless creep hero
+Ish nah saw is still strong
Don't say that they will nerf her
I'll never forget spawning in and lining up a shot across the map and taking out a enemy about to make it to the safe zone of their base.
Gotta be the most satisfying thing in the game

Kreygasm
Hi chief ;)
+PlayClashOfClans The hell are you doing here Pat????
KappaPride
Vainglory's a good game isn't it?
+Clay Coughenour I don't have CoC. I have standards
Its wierd looking back on this spotlight and seeing her do so little damage when we all know when she came out she was the most broken little shit ever. with her armor piercing arrows killing tanks in 3 shots... God i still have nightmares.
The Best its depend which thing where buy in The shop
WTF SEMC UPDATING ALREADY WTF IS THIS REAL????
SEMC IS ON A ROLL HOLY SHIT
Shhh don't say shit ... Just let it happen
+I can't think of a name update is in about 5 hours
+I can't think of a name Jesus they actually already revealed her the first stream after BF was released.
+Wessel de greef hi
Miss the game when it is at it's prime. Taka was my first main and I Reached highest rank if I am not mistaken.
Well I think I've found my new laner. RIP Ringo hello Kestrel
Ringo will forever be a classic hero from the first generation
+Random Guy390 Ringo is like the hero that actually teach you how to kite and hit-n-run, because that's all about him
Very true guys
Also he's the type of hero that sells his team mates ass so he could get more gold lol basically most Ringo users are selfish pricks
+Dark Gamer thats why whenever i see a ringo on my team, i would get ironguard contract and stay near, him works all the time
3:18 Props to the enemy Koshka, amazing body block.
2021
Man Kestrel is OP. My favorite strategy with her is serpents mask, aegis, frost burn, and journey boots. Her abilities tree is amazing and the best one is glimmer shot (in my opinion). Plus she is really good early and late game. Plus if one of your teammates its fortress for krul... R.I.P
Or* And I mean taka
I miss this game so bad...
New favorite hero
so guys!! WHEN ARE YOU GONNA START MAKING CINEMATIC TRAILERS FOR VAINGLORY?????
Lol That would be awesome 😂😂
Yah I've been asking that ever since they added aradan lol
This is just out right badass
A taka sniper...
Fits like a ring
Both Taka And Kestral can go invisibel but i sugest using the stealth of Kestrel she cane buy crystel power items to incresse the duration and stun enimese from shothing it with enimise
I miss you vain glory
Ringo, Fortress, BlackFeather, and Kestrel my favorite Characters
+Light Yagami Light, u alive?!
I RAGRET buying blackfeather
+143asianboy "ragret"
"ragret"
Why
I own everybody with blackfether and i already have 6000 glory for the new hero
+Random Guy390 uh she's 8000 I think
Oh my freaking awesome goddess, imma buy it immediately
finally found a hero that fits in me, adc player here from league ;)
Lol the part where Koshka saves Ringo.
hell hound fortress anyone???
Good enough
Pickle fortress.
Kestrel is gonna be hard to counter at first, for sure. I think she's gonna end up being rather underpowered once people start figuring out how to counter her. Definitely a great, though!
nice ult and stealth
Used to hate this hero
Loved the game 💔
so excited for kestrel
Ciderhelm
Cool epic hero! Need to start learning how to use it.
Everybody say that they will main her. Thing is that's what they said with blackfeather and every other new hero.
bro what to heck this is like the best character in the game!!
please don't stop updating, i love you're game, its like Dota 2 and Hon, but in a pocket version, a perfection for mobile games.
For this update,Rona looks so cute on the main page
I can't wait to purchase her
I really really really! Miss Vainglory.
I'm the best Rona Main ever in the world.
Hold on... i never noticed that she can stay invisible while firing a one shot one kill
She can't anymore
Nick R they removed it
Ultimate = Lux haha Nice
More like a lux trajectory with the body blocking of Caitlyn
OR MAYBE IT'S JUST A GOD DAMN ARROW FIRED ACROSS A LINE. IT'S JINX W, IT'S SKAARF A, IT'S EVERY SKILLSHOT ABILITY IN LEAGUE.
Come on. And why the f do people think of Lux? This is an ARROW. Her ult IS A PIERCING LASER.
+Lokia~Scythe it's actually more like caitlyn
It's more like ashe
Her ulti is more like Lucian's
The only thing I don't like is the short ass cool downs on these powerful ults they need to make the timer on that thing at least 75 seconds because she pretty much spammed her ultimate in the fight
Dam Kestrel seems pretty op!
I miss this game 😭
Free Hero Rotation is the reason I like using Kestrel...
Looks amazing !!!
Lots to think about there.
OMG I already want kestrel even on the next update
Finally an archer! Damn. I love her.
I love you more 😂
Both red and blue builds look amazing,
Which one would work better?
Wp (red) is if you want to be in the middle of battle, dealing constant damage and escaping at a moments notice. Cp (blue) is for burst: you need to pick your fights, since you can't cloak while being damaged and pick of low-health targets. It's like Blackfeather: go with what you like
wait why is her ult blue first then red later on in the game?
Different group perspective. First we see her play in her perspective. In the gameplay, as you can see her health bar is red which means she is in the enemy team and we are seeing her play from a different team's perspective which is against the team she is in.
It's really confusing to explain
GIF MAN lmao, how stupid of me. Thanks for replying, it really helped 👍
+ GIF MAN wow you're pic really suits that reply XD
this hero looks amazing i might have to get some ice so i can get her early ;p
Cant wait for next update..
finally the update is coming.. don't forget to update guys
Petal's spotlight is like graves's cigar
One of the most overpowerd charcters
Well, she has her sneaking skill for a reason.
Vurtruvious
Two clockwork
Two shaterglass'
Halcyon Charges
already op af
Contraption, i think is her name (tier 3 of ironguard), is so powerful versus kestrel, because you can put scout mines in all de map to see him in invisible
"Is her name" What?
+KenZ100 Sorry for bad english 😄
its ok accidents happen
very nice hero
Her B skill feels OP. Think about the other Heroes' 'group' stun capabilities and compare it to her B skill.
Holy shit new main!!
BEAST! This is My kind of character
Since the ultimate will hit the first structure, there is no way to steal the kraken :(
What are you on about yes there is, I do it all the time with Celeste. I can shoot my Solar Storm from anywhere on the map and hit my target, it's actually not that difficult
+Timothy Han I've stolen Kraken from base, so I know it's possible, you don't need to be anywhere specific, just have a good aim.
+ImInDaShAdOwZz I think he thinks that it can't go through walls. But I'm guessing it does.
+XgamerdaveX Walls don't count as structures, so yes, it can go through them. Turrets and the Vain Crystal are structures.
It can go through structures if you go with a wp build, you guys need to listen more.
Kestrel like a sniper haha, it's awesome hero in a lane.
Vainglory was ahead of it’s time 😔
OMG, new best sniper hero in vainglory :D
This hero maybe the last hero from the second generation
Can,t w8 for more hero next year.
Ciderhelm sounds like Playoffbeard. I can't help but think of Playoff while hearing Cider's VO.
i luv vainglory
Next week hero rotation is Kestrel, Blackfeather, Saw, Glaive, and Adagion
Taka and Kestrel will be doing shit in the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter 😂
When are they going to do bio videos of the heroes? I'm interested in seeing how each character grew up and got recruited.
OMG! KESTRAL IS AWESOME!!!
One shot one kill
iam very excited on it when the update
am i the only one seeing the great advantage of this hero and less disadvantages like this hero gonna Over kill
Sooo excited!! Sorta like a girl version of Taka with that invisibility cloak!
Kestrel-Archer Elf
Taka-Ninja Fox
I bet going up against both a Taka and a Kestrel is going to be trouble. Two heroes that can go invisible.
The becoming invisible mid-combat is a bit confusing, what wp items do i need to build to be able to do this? someone help me out, i would use kestrel a whole lot more if i knew how to use this
i'm a support main but the positioning with kestrel is so enticing i might finally have a jungle hero other than joule.
Cool! Petal spotlight? Please
Gonna be my new main. I'm a laner mostly and I am very tactical with shooting characters. Plus the fact I can jungle also! Main fasho! Sorry celeste😬
SCOUT TRAPS IS A MUST.
Flares
Spent 10 dollars on this hero and it was worth it!
it would be cool if super evil mega corp would make an animated series about the hero's lore or the skin's lore as a 10 minute clip and some vainglory action figures just saying
So it's combination of Saw perk, Taka's 2nd skill, and Celeste ultimate
R.I.P. taka!
Holly Shit she's amazing !!! Also she's my love xD
They should give us a free hero for Christmas that would be nice
That was amazing
Can we have old kestrel back? Lol
