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
One of the lesser-used abilities at Brimstone’s disposal (for good reason) is his Stim Beacon. Tossing this out will grant you and any allies in the radius RapidFire either while standing in the effect, or for four seconds after leaving the area. This RapidFire can doesn’t honestly make a huge difference and isn’t going to do much for your team, but if you’re pushing with a few teammates into the same area, you may as well give everybody the bo
Perhaps Riot’s financial strategy revolves around the promise of esports as a spectator sport, something as big as the NBA or the NFL.

Keep coming up with new and creative ways to hit the enemy, always ready to switch to a new tactic the moment the last becomes predictable. Pretty soon, the enemy is going to be jumping at shadows, and then you’ve got them exactly where you want t
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
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
Sure, not every creative flank or 100 thieves cs:go bold play is going to go your way, but if you continue hitting the enemy team with a variety of aggressive plays, you’re going to have some massive success on some rou
However, her ultimate packs the biggest punch. When her ultimate is ready, Raze fires a rocket launcher that causes a massive explosion wherever the rocket lands that deals devastating damage to those within the blast radius. This can be compared to Brimstone’s airstrike, but there is far less warning for Raze’s incoming roc
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
While many will compare this game to Overwatch , it is more reminiscent of what the 2008 multiplayer-only Shadowrun was trying to accomplish , only with more focus on gun skill this time. That style of game is sorely lacking in the gaming landscape currently, instead filled with ability-focused FPS titles instead of FPS-focused titles with abilities. A massive learning curve, large audience, and post-launch support could turn Valorant into a household name for Riot Ga
Omen, like a few other characters in Valorant , has access to smoke cover with his Dark Cover ability. He can use this ability through walls, and can precisely control the distance at which the smoke activates, making him the Agent with some of the most accurate smoke in the g
However, by releasing the game in a beta format but making it relatively simple to earn access to the beta , it’s clear that Riot is doing its best to polish the game as much as possible. This leaves room for significant iteration and improvement should player interest in _ VALORANT _ w
Many have likened it to Overwatch’s hand-drawn style with a colorful cast of characters. There is a certain likeness, but weapons and locations don’t ooze a unique style that sets it apart in the FPS market. Textures look flat and particle effects are simple, likely for visual clarity. It is a difficult balance between style and visual clarity that Riot needs to nail, but it currently lacks a distinct style like the flashiness of Overwatch or punchy visuals of Counter-Str
Brimstone’s Ultimate Ability is his Orbital Strike. Activating this is almost identical to how you activate the Sky Smoke; the difference being instead of dropping smoke from the sky, you’re dropping giant death lasers. This does heavy damage over time, so if an enemy doesn’t hightail it out of there immediately, they’re going to be watching the rest of the round from the spectator cam
Valorant currently has ten different characters, or Agents, to choose from, split into four different classes: Controller, Duelist, Sentinel, and Initiator. Brimstone falls into the Controller category and happens to be one of the most useful Agents in the game. He’s got a lot of utility to make use of, usually revolving around affecting sizeable areas with a certain effect at the same t
