Each Agent excels in their own way can offer strength, support, or utility. A major problem that can arise is playing with teammates who refuse to use anyone but their main character. A team full of Phoenix mains who refuse to compromise will probably do poorly against a team with players who understand what a certain map and team composition needs. This does not mean that players need to become experts in every Agent, but understanding how Sage or Brimstone can help with their utility for something like a push will widen a player toolkit and make them more likely to succ

Providing a solid second or two faster gunshots, allowing players to unload a clip quicker than without the Stim Beacon. It not only increases bullet speed but also allows players to reload their guns faster than before. Making Stim Beacon a powerful tool within a fire-fight that can establish a clear and devastating advant

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

Incendiary Grenade is a great example of Brimstone's excellent Area Denial skill-set. When tossed in the right spot, it can prevent your enemies from launching a successful offense.

Phoenix's Hot Hands is another fire-ball style attack in which the character launches an incendiary blast that deals high damage to a surrounding area. This attack, when tossed, will place a lingering flame area that does incredible damage-over-time. This attack allows Phoenix players to "smoke" up a team that is defending a given area or even prevents a rushing team from accessing a particular entrance or exit. Not to mention the abilities potential team-wiping effects if thrown on an unsuspecting group of enem
