Cypher's Cyber Cage is similar to ordinary smoke abilities, yet can be remotely activated will slow opponents caught within. His ultimate, Neural Link, will reveal the location of every remaining enemy – and knowledge is power in VALORA

Each Agent has a total of four abilities: one is a Signature Ability that is free each round, two others that must be purchased but can overlap rounds if not used, and one Ultimate ability that is progressively charged up through eliminations. Both the Signature and Ultimate abilities draw the comparison to Overwatch , since that is how all characters operate in that g

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

Ranking VALORANT's agents isn't easy to do. Riot Games clearly focused plenty of energy on maintaining competitive balance, and therefore, each character is a viable choice. Nevertheless, some agents have risen to the top in popularity – and for good rea

Communicating with your team is not rooted in having a microphone, but just being active with your team. Using game chat or the ping system in Valorant are all effective ways to talk to your teammates. So not having a microphone is no excuse for not talking to your teammates. Just like any other team-based game or activity multiplayer Teamwork Games is the single most important way to get results. Being able to work well with your fellow players can yield some excellent results, allowing for easy rank

These can be used in an offensive or defensive capacity, with the latter usually used in order to force attackers around corners or through hallways blindly, giving you a severe advantage in any gunfight as they'll have to get their bearings as soon as they exit the sm

Among Valorant's long-list of strengths, one of the major factors contributing to its popularity is its cast of interesting and unique characters. The roster is filled to the brim with personality, identity, versatility, varying play-styles, and unique and interesting visual designs. With such a vast and appealing roster, one of the hardest choices a new player will make is which character they wish to "main" and master. Of the cast, one of the most powerful and interesting is the fire-casting Phoenix. With a well-rounded arsenal of self-sustaining abilities and team-supporting abilities, Phoenix is one of the best characters in Valor

Like Phoenix, Sage has the capability to reverse an enemy kill. Her ultimate ability can raise a nearby ally at full HP. Not much needs to be said about this – it's just plan good. You'd be hard-pressed to find a serious squad without a Sage pla

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

The biggest thing that kills FPS games is the addition of overpowered weapons and, in the case of VALORANT , Agents. A single gun that can wipe out a player in one shot or an Agent with abilities that best every other in the map would be an instant death sentence for this up and coming ti

When using Blaze Phoenix players have options in how they can use the ability. It is a powerful defensive tool while also being an incredibly dangerous offensive weapon in the right hands. Using Blaze to cover a given chokepoint is definitely one of its intended uses, as its visual impairment is arguably the best in the game. However, due to its versatile manipulation, Phoenix players can use the ability to cover the blind spot of a given area and flush out any camping players. And when used in conjunction with his Curveball, Blaze can be used to dish out some insane damage on a blinded enemy team. When using Blaze, Phoenix players simply need to be unpredictable, in order to gain the most mileage from the abil

The more versatile your character playability is the better chance you will have of being able to adapt to an enemy team's playstyle. Being able to quickly adjust the way you are playing is a solid ace up a player's sle
