All Valorant Agents Summarised

Valorant is the most played FPS (first-person shooter) game in 2023. It has steadily maintained the top spot amongst shooter games since its release. Their consistent updates allow them to stay atop other games. Valorant has an apparent schedule of updates and follows a clear plot line while introducing new characters and skins. We list all the agents in this article and summarise their abilities.

Brimstone

One of the five original Valorant agents, Brimstone is an American controller. A controller is generally used to set up smokes for the team and provide cover. Brimstone is a popular choice among smokers because he can use up to three smoke clouds from his ability: “Sky Smoke”. He has two additional supporting utilities: “Incendiary” (which is a Molotov) and “Stim Beacon” (which is a beacon that grants players extra speed, faster fire rate, and faster reload). His ultimate power (a power that can be used once in a while after obtaining a certain number of Ult Points through combat or picking them up) is called “Orbital Strike”. Orbital Strike is a massive laser beam that shoots down from the sky, harming everyone inside and obscuring vision.

Sova

Sova is the initiator of the original five. An initiator does what the name suggests- they initiate attacks on site and are used to locate enemies. Sova is a Russian archer with an essential ability named “Recon Bolt”. Recon Bolts send waves in all directions around themselves, marking every enemy hit by them. He also has the “Owl Drone”, a drone he can control and use to tag enemies. His other utility is a “Shock Bolt” that spawns an orb of electricity wherever it lands, dealing some damage. His Ultimate, “Hunter’s Fury”, is a massive bow that shoots a laser beam through walls that can reach far distances. He can shoot three beams with one usage. Each beam deals 80 damage, meaning two shots can kill a fully armored enemy.

Sage

Sage is the sentinel of the original five agents. A sentinel primarily focuses on holding down sites and preventing enemy flank plays. Sage’s primary ability, “Healing Orb”, is a heal that completely heals any allies back to 100 health. However, she can only heal herself by 30 health. Her other two abilities are “Barrier Orb” (A wall that has 800 health) and “Slow Orb” (An orb that spawns in ice on the floor it hits that slows down anyone on it).

Phoenix

Phoenix is British and is one of the two original duelists in Valorant. A duelist’s role is to take the front lines in fights and get the most kills. Phoenix’s primary ability is his Molotov named “Hot Hands”. He can use Hot Hands to molly enemies or to heal himself. Another ability of his is “Blaze”, a wall that blocks vision and burns anyone that touches it. He can use his wall to heal himself as well. His last utility is “Curveball”, a flash that he can throw to the left or right, blinding any players looking in its direction.

Jett

Jett is the other Duelist in the original five. She comes from South Korea, and her abilities are movement oriented. Her “Tailwind” lets her dash in whichever direction she is moving. “Updraft” is another one of her movement abilities. Updraft allows her to launch up into the sky. Her last ability is called “Cloudburst”, a ball of smoke that lasts five seconds. Jett’s Ultimate, “Blade Storm”, lets her equip five super accurate knives. If Jett kills an enemy by throwing individual knives, she recharges all five knives. Right-clicking will throw all five at once. However, a right-click kill will not recharge her ability.

Viper

Viper is an American Chemist. She plays the role of controller. Her signature ability- “Toxic Screen”, is a long wall of toxic cloud that obstructs vision and poisons enemies who touch it. The other two abilities are “Snake Bite” (a poisonous Molly that deals fast damage as well as making them vulnerable) and “Poison Cloud”, Which is a ball of toxic cloud that temporarily decreases the health of enemies inside. Her Ultimate is an enlarged version of her Poison Cloud. She releases a large poisonous cloud that can sometimes encase an entire site. Enemies’ health who are in it will lose all but one HP.

Omen

Omen is the only agent whose identity is unknown. He is a mysterious controller. His primary ability- “Dark Cover,” provides a ball of shadow to obscure vision. Omen’s “Shrouded Step” enables him to teleport anywhere in a small area around himself. His “Paranoia” is a unique blinding ability that goes through walls and inflicts near-sightedness on anyone hit. “From the Shadows” is his Ultimate ability; it lets him teleport anywhere onto the map. He can cancel the teleportation once using it. Enemies can also force Omen to cancel his Ultimate by killing his shadow before he fully teleports.

Killjoy

Killjoy, a German mechanical genius, is one of the most popular sentinels. Her abilities are all things she designed herself. “Turret” is her signature ability. It spawns a small sentry gun that automatically shoots any enemies it sees. Killjoy has a Molly ability, “Nanoswarm”, which she can throw without activating. She can remotely activate her Nanoswarm from anywhere on the map. Her last ability is “Alarm Bot”, which alerts her whenever a player steps near it. Killjoy’s Ultimate ability is what makes her so popular. “Lockdown” spawns a semi-sphere bubble that covers an entire site. After placing it down, enemies have 13 seconds to get out of the area. If they’re caught inside after windup time, they become detained.
