Sky Smoke is an ability that allows Brimstone to call up to three smoke clouds onto the battlefield. This ability provides incredibly cover by preventing enemies from seeing through the thick smoke cloud, allowing for players to escape their line of sight. Sky Smoke is one of the most oppressive abilities in the game if used correc
The first of Cypher's moves are the main staple of his playstyle and that is his Trapwire. As the name implies, Trapwire operates as a powerful trap to place throughout the map. When using the ability players will need to attach the long string-like wire to two close walls. Once attached and players walk through the Trapwire, that enemy will be stunned and appear as an outline in your perspective. Making it a powerful tool to keep enemies away from a particular location, or to notify Cypher players when players are approaching a particular destination. When placing the Trapwire be sure to place it about chest height, that way an enemy isn't able to either jump or crouch under the wire, avoiding its effe
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
The first of Omen's abilities is his powerful Shadow Step. A move that allows Omen to teleport to an indicated location, allowing the character to escape to new cover, take high-ground, or simply escape the given danger. Using Shadow Step to take high ground is its primary function, as it allows the character access to some seemingly inaccessible locations. Be aware of Shadow Step's long start-up period, and take this downside into account before you use the ability to either flank or escape a combat encoun
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
This is a fantastic way to take care of an enemy planting the spike if you don't have a line-of-sight on them; they can try to stick the plant through the damage, but they'll pay for it with their l
Overall, Brimstone's abilities are suited for a more mid-range playstyle. His abilities don't require him to be close to get the most out of them (unless you're trying to tag a very specific area with the Incendiary), and since they generally take a couple of seconds to set up accurately, it's best if you're out of harm's way when activating them. Brimstone specializes in dictating the terms of the fight, and in the right hands, can create a truly uneven situation that your team is going to greatly benefit f
When you throw abilities and unique characters into the mix, Valorant could become a very unbalanced game if not handled properly. Power-creep could be a serious issue if Riot plans to release new Agents over time, a concern not unfounded by veteran League of Legends players. Iteration will be key for Valorant's success and long-term releva
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

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
