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
Viper is an incredible offensive agent as two of her abilities recharge and uses fuel from her poison tank. She can put up a smoke wall to blind enemies, throw down a toxic area of effect grenade, and can summon a poisonous smoke cloud to help choke a point. But most importantly, her ultimate ability fills an area with toxic smoke that blinds enemies. The area is big enough to fill an entire point which makes it easy for a team to move on to a point and plant the bomb before the enemy team figures out where players are loca
Taking the competitive multiplayer landscape by storm, Riot’s Valorant _ has grown into a household name in what seems overnight. The ever-growing titles only method of being played is through a “drop” from a popular Twitch streamer’s broadcast of the game. This combined with its fusion of both _Overwatch- style Hero shooter mechanics and similar structure and mechanics of the popular Counter-Strike series adds to its popularity. Valorant’s success has driven the early access shooter into notoriety, being a household name in only a few months. It has solidified itself as one of the premier competitive multiplayer titles available now and has dominated on Twitch for an impressive t
I’m going to get flack for this. But to be honest, one factor makes Omen less viable in the competitive scene: his predictable abilities leave him extremely vulnerable. His smokes are good, but they require manual placement and actuate very slowly. While Brimstone has the same grievances, he can place three smokes with much greater range, rendering Omen’s a worse alternative. His teleportation is also limited in range and quite slow to actuate. As far as his ultimate, it can be quite good, but the fact that everyone is acutely alerted upon its use makes it very difficult to be steal
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
Riot Games has already explained that the ranking system in VALORANT features a total of eight different ranks with three tiers each, except for the highest rank, Valorant. What is not stated is how similar ranking feels compared to cs:go Smoke Grenade tactics , both in improving as a player and what to expect from teammates at each r
In the heat of a game it can be easy to miss obvious signs before catastrophe. The idea of having a coach is only relevant for those players who are looking to master the game and have the resources to do so, but another option is simply to record competitive matches on OBS or other free capture software and swap with another competitive player who also wants to improve.

The first of Phoenix’s abilities is his powerful Blaze ability. When using Blaze Phoenix casts a far-reaching wall of fire. This wall of fire does damage over time and restricts the enemy and friendly player’s vision from either side of the wall. When casting Blaze Phoenix is capable of curving and adjusting the angle to which the wall travels. Allowing Phoenix players to cover some tricky and crucial angles with this abil
At higher ranks near the top, map knowledge is implicit, and players know virtually everything about the layout of each space. This is where the edge comes in, as players discover the best places to watch for even a moment of peeking to get a headshot. The buying economy is also on autopilot at this point, and players know exactly what to purchase during the first four to six rounds with little varia
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. Lastly, Run It Back gives Phoenix a free chance to push into any room, instantly reviving him if taken down during its duration; His ultimate ability is unique and endlessly use
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
