This is one of the most balanced guns in the game. It has good range and deals an impressive amount of damage. The Vandal is also quite accurate and has a large 30-round magazine and 1.25x zoom. It is easily one of the most popular guns in the game due to its all-around effectiveness and high one-shot potent
This budget gun deals low damage and has average accuracy. It also has a smallish 20-round magazine and relatively short range. The alternative firing mode features a 1.15x zoom mode and four-shot bursts. The Stinger is for players who are low on funds and needs something versatile and ch
With a roster bursting at the seems with charismatic and interesting characters, Valorant players are spoiled for choice. However, choosing a « main » character is one of the hardest aspects of the game. With such a diverse and interesting roster, each member of the Valorant cast is as interesting last the last. One of the more unique designs found in the title is the technology-savvy Cypher, who provides an under-utilized niche to the competitive scene of Hero Shooters. His trap-heavy playstyle is one of the most difficult to master but yields an oppressive and Freya Overwatch dominant presence when mastered to its full
Cypher’s Cyber Cage provides a powerful Smoke-Style aura which both limits an enemy’s vision and slows down their movement speed. This ability is useful to slow down an approaching team or to use in conjunction with your Trapwire, concealing the trap’s location. Cyber Cage is one of Cypher’s most powerful moves and is a pillar of his playst
With Omen’s ability to get to a lot of places on the map with relative ease, he has the unique opportunity to create pinches with his teammates, hitting the enemy team from two very different angles. Map knowledge is going to help make this possible, as will good communication with your t
The new undertakings by Riot Games are varied in terms of the scope of the games it wants to bring to the table, although many of them take place within the established world of Runeterra that is the home of League of Legends . Whatever else it may be, Valorant does not seem to be one of the games that will take place in Runeterra, as the footage and screenshots that have already been leaked or release seem to depict a more modern setting than the medieval/arcanepunk that Runeterra has most often been shown
With this aggressive playstyle, it can be pretty easy to confuse the enemy, as well. Omen can be almost anywhere, and a good Omen is going to keep the enemy looking over their shoulders for the majority of the ma
Viper is fantastic for a brutal 9th rating, but hear me out. Her abilities, while useful, can be functionally replicated by those of other agents. Her Toxic Screen and Snake Bite abilities are very similar to Phoenix’s; Her smokes can be replaced by Jett’s, Omen’s, or Brimstone’s. Her Viper Pit is useful for spike plants, but can work against your team easily too. It is also impossible for enemies to die to the gas, leaving them at 1HP; If they see you first, you still may go d
Cypher – A tactical control character who excels at finding enemies. He can place a stealthed tripwire trap that slows, reveals and dazes, or toss out a remotely activated, slowing trap. His signature move is a placeable camera that can fire a tracking dart similar to Sova’s drone, and his ultimate absorbs info from an enemy corpse to reveal all enem
Cypher’s Spy Cam and Neural Theft primarily operate as powerful recon abilities. When used correctly, a Cypher player should have eyes on the enemy team at nearly all times. Be sure to abuse the oppressive capabilities of the Spy Cam’s Marking Dart as often as possible. A sole enemy death can lead to an incredible momentum shift when playing Cypher, as it can reveal the location of the entire enemy team, leading to a potentially devastating counter-attack or ambush. Use these abilities wisely and matches will end as quickly as they be
Jett is certainly a fan-favorite, so I imagine this is where I’ll get the most backlash. Heck, even I play Jett more than the other agents. Her abilities are endlessly fun, with speedy dashes and quick, versatile smokes. Jett’s primary function is to outmaneuver and overwhelm opponents, requiring clever movement and precise aim with her knives. In the right hands, she can run away with match MVP easily. However, aside from her less-than-unique smokes, her abilities are rather inward. That is to say, Jett doesn’t have a ton of avenues to assist her team, other than to slay
Finally, Cypher’s ultimate, Neural Theft is a rather complicated but interesting move. When Cypher approaches an enemy team’s corpse, he can utilize Neural Theft on the corpse. When the ultimate is activated it grants Cypher the ability to locate all of the Enemy team’s silhouettes for a short second. This ultimate provides similar utility as the Marking Dart but on a larger scale, granting a Cypher ability the ability to scout and call out the enemy team. However, this move can be difficult to pull off, as it requires Cypher or his teammates have defeated an enemy player, but when the condition is met, this is one of the strongest ultimate in the g
