The Ares has a large, 50-round magazine and is great at wall penetration. At its price point it can be a viable alternative to a rifle, although it causes slightly less damage. The rate of fire starts out at 10 rounds per second but increases to 13 rounds per second as you fire. It comes with a 1.25x scope for easier target acquisit

Initially, many fans and analysts gave the edge to Sentinels, who recently constructed a roster of former CS:GO pros Shahzeeb "ShahZaM" Khan, Hunter "SicK" Mims, former Overwatch MVP Jay "sinatraa" Won and former Apex Legends pro for Sentinels Jared "zombs" Gitlin. Popular streamer Coby "Dizzy" Meadows stood in for the team's fifth spot. Even with Sentinels' stacked roster, they were taken down by Team Brax in the second round of the winner's bracket and were defeated for good by Team Shroud in the loser's bracket. Despite their struggles this tournament, Sentinels flashed their potential multiple times, and the organization's willingness to go out and sign big name players is a positive sign for the team's fut

These Agents are split into four different classes: Initiator, Controller, Duelist, and Sentinel. Omen fits into the Controller category and can be pretty effective in the right hands. Let's take a look at Omen and some tips on how to get the most out of playing

Omen's Dark Cover is comparable to Brimstone's Sky Smoke in which the shadowy figure fires a black smoke cloud and it will land at his marked location. Dark Cover is capable of traveling through walls, similar to his Paranoia ability. Making Omen's ability to place Dark Cover nearly limitless. This move has incredible versatility during a match and allows the character to provide some solid visual cover. In conjunction with Omen's other abilities, Dark Cover can provide some sneaky synergy with Omen's toolkit. However, be aware that Dark Cover shoots from the same plane as you are standing. So if you wish to place it on high ground you will need to stand on high ground before firing the cl

Keep in mind, this 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

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

Omen's ability to through his Dark Cover through walls and cover allows Omen to cover choke-points from insanely far away. However, similar to Shadow Step, using Dark Cover in combination with his Ultimate, from the Shadow provides the character an insane amount of map control. Be sure to master this ability in order to control space and perform some powerful flanking maneuv

Omen's Paranoia is a rather unique move in the fps Game tournaments. It allows Omen to fire a large shadow ball style attack that travels through walls and cover. If it connects with an enemy it restricts their ability to see, as if they were in the apex of a Smoke-ball. This allows Omen the ability to limit an Enemy's ability to see him and his team move towards or away from a given locat

The Recon Bolt functions the same way as the Shock Bolt, except that it will reveal enemies within the arrow's line of sight. However, enemies can also see the arrow on the mini-map and destroy it if they're quick eno

Run it Back is Phoenix's ultimate ability and the true reason for his namesake. If Phoenix dies a short amount of time after casting it in a location, he will come back to life where it was cast. However, Phoenix can be attacked while being revived, so players should plan where they set this ability

Omen's ultimate ability is From the Shadows. It is a simple ability that allows Omen to teleport anywhere on the map after it is pulled up. While the teleport is happening, all enemy mini-maps are distor

Much like the Incendiary Launcher, this can be a great way to force an enemy out of good cover, or out of a small room, considering the damage radius of the ability. This can drastically turn the tide of a round, forcing an enemy to give up a really advantageous position and making them fight on your te
