Brimstone begins the top-5 lineup on my list, bringing the best smokes in VALORANT for both offensive and defensive team plays. His incendiary grenade can zone out hot points; His Stim Beacon can grant rapid fire. Brimstone’s ultimate ability, Orbital Strike, has the capability to outright kill players caught within its range. Although not the largest area-of-effect, the strike hits quick and h
Stim Beacon’s use is fairly limited, its only real use is to turn the tide of battle in an intense fight. So tossing it at a highly populate area of cover and allowing your teammates to unleash a barrage of powered up bullets will turn the tide in a fight. Be sure to be wise when using Stim Beacon, as its primary use is to save your teammates during combat encount
Objective-based modes are a smash hit in any competitive FPS title, but most revolve around planting or defusing a bomb. It’s a common trend for good reason, but Valorant has the potential to stand above the r
The first game that many will compare Valorant to is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive , a game that recently beat out DOTA 2 for peak concurrent players on Steam .

The likes of gun game, capture the flag, or simple deathmatch could help enhance the replayability of Valorant significantly. More casual modes with multiple lives should exist as a way for casuals to have fun and more hardcore players to warm up their skills before entering an intense game.

The event, which featured shout casters Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez and Chris “Puckett” Puckett, had a total prize pool of $25,000. Gen.G, to the surprise of many, took home the first place prize of $20,000 and Team Brax, which featured T1’s own Braxton “brax” Pierce, Keven “AZK” Larivière and Austin “crashies” Roberts, finished second over
Sage’s Barrier Orb ice wall may just be the most useful ability in the game. Whether attacking or defending, Sage can lock down an entire avenue with a massive wall. Additionally, when enemies use the teleporter on Bind, she can trap them in. Her Slow Orb is simply a great way to delay enemy pushes, rendering a large area almost completely untraversa
The first of Brimstone’s abilities is his Stim Beacon gadget. When thrown this item evokes an area of effect, which provides him and his teammates the rapid-fire ability. When players stand within the Stim Beacon’s aura, that player’s gunshots will increase in speed. Providing a solid second or two faster gunshots, allowing players to unload a clip quicker than without the Stim Beacon. It not only increases bullet speed but also allows players to reload their guns faster than before.

Playing Default refers to splitting up at the beginning of a round and not stacking as a group, which can be a common mistake early in ranks as players attempt to rush a point.

Phoenix’s Blazewall is decent for blocking vision, but mainly a great way to heal up quickly. His fireball is capable of self-healing too, not to mention blocking and damaging foes.

Even with all the comparisons, Valorant is absolutely still its own unique game, one that players have to experience for themselves to truly enjoy.
