Valorant is a tactical shooter to its core. But unlike some games in the genre (ahem, CS:GO), it’s also got a cast of characters, called Agents, each with their own personalities and abilities. So while shooting may be the most important skill in Valorant, knowing how to use your Agent to their full potential is a close second.
The following contains Riot’s exact description for each ability and character.
PHOENIX
Phoenix’s star power shines through in his fighting style, igniting the battlefield with flash and flare. Whether he’s got backup or not, he’s rushing in to fight on his own terms.
- Hot Hands – Throw a fireball that explodes after a delay or upon impact with the ground. The fire zone damages enemies, and heals you.
- Blaze – Cast out a flame wall that blocks vision and damages anyone passing through it. You can bend the wall when casting by turning while holding left click.
- Signature Ability: Curveball– Cast a curving flare that bursts into brilliant light after a brief delay, temporarily blinding all looking at it. Left click curves it left, right click curves it right.
- Ultimate Ability: Run it Back – Mark your current location. If you die during this ability’s duration, or when this ability’s duration expires, you’ll be reborn at the marked location with full health.
