Every Valorant Character and Ability Revealed So Far

Skill-focused gameplay and clutch moments are the core pillars of Valorant . From weapon balance to each Agent’s abilities, Riot has put much enough tools in the player’s hands to outsmart the opposit

Phoenix’s ultimate is one of the most interesting in the game. As it provides the fire-casting character some of the best survivability in the game. Run it Back allows Phoenix to create a clone of himself which is set to a set timer. When this clone is cast Phoenix can travel from his “real” body and attack enemies, see their location, cast his abilities, or do anything he can in his set period. When the time is up he will travel back to where his “real” body is. If the Phoenix clone is defeated before the time is up than the clone will disappear and the Phoenix player will resume from his original location. This ability is one of the best abilities in the game and allows Phoenix players an unprecedented versatil

The Blast Pack will stick to a surface after being thrown. After enough time passes, or it is manually detonated, it will explode. Raze can use this ability to launch herself onto higher ground like Overwatch ‘s Junkr

Brimstone’s second ability is his incendiary grenade, as the name implies it is a powerful explosion that serves as a useful area-denial tool. Establishing a clear area of flame-like lava that dishes out damage over time. This can be a powerful tool to stop an enemy’s advancement or protect the Spike from disarm

Curveball is Phoenix’s second ability in which the Pyromancer fires a flashbang-style fireball. When using Curveball the Phoenix player can curve the trajectory of the attack in either a right or a left angle allowing Phoenix to use the attack to blind players camping behind or around the corner of pesky choke points. This makes Curveball one of the best abilities for a team to use to counterattack a well set-up team and change the tide of battle in their fa

Keep in mind, this smoke drops out of the sky, meaning if there’s a roof or vertical cover of any kind in between the sky and the area you’re trying to smoke, it’s not going to land where you want it to land. Brimstone is going to need to be very specific and accurate in order to get the most use out of his smokes and realize there are certain places it just isn’t going to work

Run it Back is a rather limited ultimate, however, that does not speak for its insane utility. Run it Back allows Phoenix players unmatched aggression and recon. Phoenix can potentially rush an enemy team without fear of dying. It also allows players to scout where the enemy team is allowing for some powerful recon application. Run it Back is a simple ultimate but that does not impact its insanely powerful implications throughout a ma

Sure, not every creative flank or bold play is going to go your way, but if you continue hitting the enemy team with a variety of aggressive plays, you’re going to have some massive success on some rou

To find the most success with Phoenix understanding how to use his abilities effectively is a necessity. Thankfully, Phoenix’s kit allows for players of the character to combine his abilities to create a variety of synergies. Alongside the character’s potential for some powerful team-related combination, Phoenix players are spoiled for choice when it comes to optimal p

When you throw abilities and unique characters into the mix, Valorant could become a very unbalanced game if not handled properly. Power-creep could be a serious issue if Riot plans to release new Agents over time, a concern not unfounded by veteran League of Legends players. Iteration will be key for Valorant’s success and long-term releva

Curveball operates in the same manner as the other flashbang style moves in the game. Its utility revolves around a player’s ability to communicate with their teammates. Tossing a curveball means that your teammates need to be right behind you as you rush to finish off the blinded enemies. However, curveball has some tricky utility with both Hot Hands and Blaze as you can toss either a fireball or a flame wall to dish out some huge damage on the enemy team. Using Curveball is a perfect way to set up some powerful combos with either your or your teammate’s abilities, leading to some potential major Artstar Csgo team wi

Looking at the Agent roster reveals a surprising amount of vision denial skills. From blinding players to erecting flaming walls, most characters have some form of gaining or blocking locational informat

Omen, like a few other characters in Valorant , has access to smoke cover with his Dark Cover ability. He can use this ability through walls, and can precisely control the distance at which the smoke activates, making him the Agent with some of the most accurate smoke in the g

One of Omen’s abilities, Shrouded Step, allows him to teleport a short distance. In the first few seconds of a round, this can do a lot to confuse the enemy team; they’ll be coming out and looking at where your team should have to exit from, but meanwhile, you’ve teleported somewhere they weren’t looking and have an easy kill on your ha
