One of the best features so far in the game is its training grounds, which allows players to practice in a multitude of different ways. Players can load up bots with different difficulty levels to practice aiming, as well as use targets to measure weapon spread at different distan

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

Raze's grenades deal absurd damage, exploding in two, powerful phases. Her Boom Bot both locates and attacks nearby enemies. Even if shot at, a crafty Raze player can use that window to take the foe down. Her Blast Packs not only pack a punch, but also allow Raze to bounce upwards. Consequently, Raze players will often find new spots with cheeky angles. Finally, her Show Stopper is insanely powerful, dealing massive damage within a sizable area. Halo rocket launcher, any

Viper - Also a zone control character, although she uses poison. She can create pools of acid, or place a poison cloud emitter that she can pick up and move. Her signature move is a wall of poison gas, and her ultimate is a zone of poison that fogs enemy vision, outlines enemies who stand in it (for her), and stays as long as she stays in it (it doesn't hurt h

Breach's abilities pack a massive punch. Even with slow actuation times, they have impressive range and can completely disorient opponents. He's one of those characters that I almost put up in the top 3, but his abilities are non-vital. Phoenix's flash ability seems to be a bit more versatile and athletic than Breach's, and while his ultimate is powerful and flashy, Brimstone's seems to have the edge with its killing po

For a team to be composed of all the right parts, teams will need to diversify their agents. Luckily, with there only being nine agents to choose from at the moment, making a diverse team should not be too hard. All agents have the same amount of health, and weapons can be purchased in the game. So, unlike Overwatch, characters are stuck with the same weapon each round, but they are stuck with the same Agent for an entire match. This makes picking the rights agents even more important than e

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 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

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

Keep in mind, Check This Out smoke drops out of the sky, meaning if there's a roof or vertical cover of any kind in between the sky and the area you're trying to smoke, it's not going to land where you want it to land. Brimstone is going to need to be very specific and accurate in order to get the most use out of his smokes and realize there are certain places it just isn't going to work

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

Whether or not the new characters and world of Valorant will be a part of a grand and expanding world like League of Legend s ' characters are is not yet clear, although it is clear that Riot does not intend to stop creating new lore for League . Plans are still going forward in the development of Tales of Runeterra , the lore expanding video series, and other games in the League universe will no doubt be following Valora

When placing a Trapwire a Cypher player needs to consider a few factors. The first of which is, what location will the enemy team travel towards. Once this location is determined, assess which chokepoints or entrances will they utilize, then place the Trapwire accordingly. The Trapwire is not a major game-changer throughout a match, but if used correctly can turn the tide of a combat encounter. On the offensive, a Cypher player should use the Trapwire to cover his and his teammates back and allow them the chance to counter-attack a flanking defensive t
