Sage has the unique ability to heal players or herself, but her other abilities can be used defensively to control the battlefield. However, her ultimate can be used to resurrect from the dead. This effectively gives a player another life. She can also wall off teams from coming on to the point and has a large area of effect ability that drastically slows enem

Spycam is Cypher's final ability, in which a Cypher player would attach a CCTV to any wall or item that is within his range. The Spycam allows Cypher players to access its perspective, allowing him to see what the camera sees. It also provides Cypher with a powerful Marking Dart, which when fired from the Camera onto an enemy allows Cypher to see the enemy's outline from any point on the map. Making it a powerful recon tool in the right hands. Be aware, when using the Spycam, it becomes visible to the enemy team and can be shot from its mounted position. The Marking Dart can also be removed by the enemy, ending its powerful recon abil

While there is not a lot of mobility in Valorant, to begin with, characters who possess mobility skills can take the upper hand in almost any battle. As aiming is a key element in Valorant, any skils that disrupt the normal amount of mobility are sure to mess with a player's

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

Each agent has their own set of abilities that can make the game truly interesting. No doubt there will be compositions of certain agents that will turn out to be meta at some point in the future. While some abilities must be bought at the beginning of the game, other signature abilities and ultimates don't need to

In a game like Overwatch or League of Legends, players have an arsenal of characters to choose from meaning a team could be composed of all tanks, all attackers, too little defense, not enough offense, etc. While the pool of Agents is small in Valorant, it is important to note that as a rule of thumb, a team should be composed of agents that cover all of the team's bases. Obviously, Valorant plays much differently than any other tactical shooter, but good team composition can help players win more rounds. Here are the categories that team composition should co

Overwatch is also one of the titles to universalize loot boxes in games. Riot Games has confirmed that it won't be selling loot boxes in Valorant , which is assuredly something that will delight many f

Appearing on almost every stream, VALORANT has been showing a lot of promise with its fast-paced and strategic gameplay, as well as great emphasis to both raw mechanical skill and tactical mindset. While the game is only in closed beta right now, there's still quite a bit of information

So far, VALORANT has been compared most commonly with Valve's ever-popular tactical first-person shooter, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . When looking at the basic playstyle of the game, this is definitely true due to how weapons and the economy funct

Even if players can't get their hands on a VALORANT closed beta key, not to worry because this project by Riot is probably one of the few games that hasn't seen any slowing down due to the recent COVID-19 situat

In Valorant , teams will switch between offensive and defensive rounds. While defense is important, offensive rounds are much harder to win as teams will need to push on to a point compared to holding and defending a point. This makes prioritizing offensive agents slightly more important than defensive age

Defense is half of the name of the game, and agents who can deal massive amounts of damage with abilities can help push players off point and hold them at bay. While there are plenty of agents that can deal damage (Raze, Brimstone, Breach) the newest addition to the game has proven to be the best damage dealer, and that new agent is R

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 Continued 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

Valorant is revolutionary in many ways for a lot of gamers, but one other title has combined a lot of Overwatch 's hero abilities in an FPS with Counterstrike 's one life bomb planting and defending gameplay. Rainbow Six Siege is one of the best shooters of the past decade and is still going strong after five-plus years. While the game doesn't at all have over the top hero abilities like Overwatch or even Valorant , each operator has its own unique set of skills, like being able to bash through walls with a hammer or plant explosive traps on doors, to get the job done and players have one single life to plant and defuse a b
