To find the most success with Phoenix understanding how to use his abilities effectively is a necessity. Thankfully, Phoenix’s kit allows for players of the character to combine his abilities to create a variety of synergies. Alongside the character’s potential for some powerful team-related combination, Phoenix players are spoiled for choice when it comes to optimal p
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
A common phenomenon of hero-style shooters is a player who hops onto a competitive match, and instantly locks their main character. These players are referred to as “one-trick ponies” due to their skill being deeply connected to their one and only character main. If their particular main is locked from their use they become more of a liability than an asset to their t
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 teamwork 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
Run it Back is a rather limited ultimate, however, that does not speak for its insane utility. Run it Back allows Phoenix players unmatched aggression and recon. Phoenix can potentially rush an enemy team without fear of dying. It also allows players to scout where the enemy team is allowing for some powerful recon application. Run it Back is a simple ultimate but that does not impact its insanely powerful implications throughout a ma
Each match features players of relatively equal skill on both sides and being able to tell a team that there is a flank or a push happening can make the difference between winning and losing. If serious about climbing in rank, communication is key, and there is no way around t
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
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
VALORANT is a new First-Person Shooter (FPS) game that Riot Games has had in the works for several years, and the release is growing closer. Here, a team of five Agents against another five in a battle for supremacy. These Agents have supernatural powers and it is up to the players to use these with/or without their firearms to win the object
Communication also allows for some sneaky plays within a match. Being able to ask a Brimstone to call in a sky smoke to hide where the spike is being planted gives your team a humongous advantage over a team of uncoordinated players. There are several abilities within the title that rely on a team’s coordination, and without solid communication, they are almost usel
Curveball operates in the same manner as the other flashbang style moves in the game. Its utility revolves around a player’s ability to communicate with their teammates. Tossing a curveball means that your teammates need to be right behind you as you rush to finish off the blinded enemies. However, curveball has some tricky utility with both Hot Hands and Blaze as you can toss either a fireball or a cool way to improve flame wall to dish out some huge damage on the enemy team. Using Curveball is a perfect way to set up some powerful combos with either your or your teammate’s abilities, leading to some potential major team wi
Sage – She’s the healer of the game, preventing and healing damage wherever she goes with various orbs. She can create a slowing area of effect, or create a solid wall to block bullets, line of sight and movement. Her signature ability is Healing Orb, which heals someone back to full health over a short duration, and her ultimate is Resurrection, which requires a corpse to w
