<br>Sage - She's the healer of the SLG Game heroes, preventing and healing damage wherever she goes with various orbs. She can create a slowing area of effect, or create a solid wall to block bullets, line of sight and movement. Her signature ability is Healing Orb, which heals someone back to full health over a short duration, and her ultimate is Resurrection, which requires a corpse to w<br><br> <br>Valorant bears more similarities to CS:GO than it does to Overwatch , and the mechanics of the games are very different. Players will have to buy some of their characters' unique powers in-between rounds just like they will have to buy the weapons they can steal off their enemies. It is similar enough to CS:GO that one of that game's commentators and former pros adored it , and seems to be an innovation to a breed of shooter that has not advanced anywhere for a very long time in the same way Overwatch updated many aspects of Team Fortress 2 's gamep<br><br> <br>Viper is an incredible offensive agent as two of her abilities recharge and uses fuel from her poison tank. She can put up a smoke wall to blind enemies, throw down a toxic area of effect grenade, and can summon a poisonous smoke cloud to help choke a point. But most importantly, her ultimate ability fills an area with toxic smoke that blinds enemies. The area is big enough to fill an entire point which makes it easy for a team to move on to a point and plant the bomb before the enemy team figures out where players are loca<br><br> <br>It has been a running joke that Riot Games has not really earned the "Games" part of its title, since it only had the one massively successful MOBA in League of Legends . These days the company's ambition seems to be to move away from being a one horse house and expanding into new projects, including the new FPS game formerly known as Project A , now officially called Valor<br><br> <br>This gun has a fast rate of fire coupled with an enormous 100-round magazine. Like the Ares, it also needs a moment to charge up starting off at 12 rounds a second and increasing to 15.6 rounds per second. This is the perfect weapon for defending a site and stopping enemies in their tra<br><br> <br>Brimstone's Sky Smoke is, arguably, his best ability. Sky Smoke not only provides exceptional cover by limiting an enemy's line of sight, but it can also be used to hide the Spike's location. Due to Brimstone's ability to possess three Sky Smokes during a period of time, a player can use them more liberally than other smoke screen style characters. Brimstone players can use the Sky Smoke to cover an area's main choke-points or entrances, preventing enemies from being able to pick off your teammates. Or as mentioned, it can be used to hide the spike's location, preventing the enemy team from being able to disarm the weapon. Is used correctly, Brimstone's Sky Smoke can be the biggest factor in his team winning a ma<br><br> <br>The Blast Pack will stick to a surface after being thrown. After enough time passes, or it is manually detonated, it will explode.

This shotgun has a slow reload time and cannot penetrate walls, but its alternate fire can one-shot unarmored opponents in the mid-ra<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>Now that Brimstone's abilities have been detailed, it is important to understand the best way to utilize them. Brimstone excels at an area denial playstyle, that can provide excellent support for his team while preventing any attacks from being launched by the enemy t<br><br> <br>Sage has the unique ability to heal players or herself, but her other abilities can be used defensively to control the battlefield. However, her ultimate can be used to resurrect from the dead. This effectively gives a player another life.

He can place a stealthed tripwire trap that slows, reveals and dazes, or toss out a remotely activated, slowing trap.

Whatever else it may be, Valorant does not seem to be one of the games that will take place in Runeterra, as the footage and screenshots that have already been leaked or release seem to depict a more modern setting than the medieval/arcanepunk that Runeterra has most often been shown<br>
