Starting their journey in Valorant this year, newcomers may find it overwhelming to work with numerous characters and their abilities.
Riot
Valorant is a team game and can only be won with proper character synergies. This requires new players to learn basic Agents who can easily fit in with experienced players. Here are 5 Agents that are the most beginner friendly.
Riot
Brimstone has a total of four abilities: – Incendiary - Creates an area lingering with flames with a grenade. – Sky Smokes- Deploy dense smokes to block enemy vision.
Riot
– Stim Beacon- Use a device to increase movement and firing speed in the effective range. – Orbital Strike (Ultimate)- Fire a laser at the designated target area to damage enemies over time.
Riot
Brimstone’s abilities are rudimentary and can help out any team with three smokes and a stim beacon. His incendiary grenade is easy to operate and can be used to deter enemy aggression with ease.
Riot
Reyna is a straightforward Duelist with four abilities: – Devour- Regain health from eliminated enemies. – Dismiss- Become invulnerable with increased movement speed for a short duration.
Riot
– Leer- Deploy an orb to blind all enemies in its line of sight. – Empress (Ultimate)- Enter a frenzy mode to increase the firing speed, equip and reload speed.
Riot
Reyna is the best pick for any player who has previous shooter experience and understands gunplay mechanics. Her ability kit incentivizes players to take duels and take map control.
Riot
KAY/O is a relatively new character and features four abilities: – FLASH/drive: Use a flashbang to temporarily blind enemies. – ZERO/Point: Deploy a special dagger to detect and silence enemies in the area of effect.
Riot
– FRAG/Ment: Throw an explosive grenade to inflict damage on enemies over time. – NULL/cmd (Ultimate): Turns on overdrive mode to silence all enemy abilities in a large area around Kay/O.
Riot
KAY/O functions like a basic operator from any FPS title with the ability to use flashes and an incendiary-like grenade. Its unique ability to detect and silence enemies is easy to understand and welcomed in almost every team composition.
Riot
Killjoy is a strong Sentinel Agent with the following abilities: – Alarmbot: Alerts the team when it detects any enemies and makes them vulnerable. – Turret: Automatic machine which detects enemies in front of it and shoots low-damage bullets.
Riot
– Nanoswarm: Remote incendiary grenades that can be planted to defend objectives. – Lockdown (Ultimate): Deploy a device that traps enemies in a large area. Disables and slows enemy Agents in the area after a countdown.
Riot
Killjoy is an excellent choice for players to learn Valorant and play off of utility. An inclination towards passive gameplay might just help the team clutch up important rounds. Moreover, it is easy to be imaginative and create your own lethal setups to defend objectives.
Riot
Sage packs four abilities as well: – Slow Orb: Slows down enemy movement speed in the area of effect. – Healing Orb: Heal allies over time. The ability can also be used to heal yourself.
Riot
– Barrier Orb: Creates a wall to block off enemies or entry routes. – Resurrection (Ultimate): Revive a fallen teammate. The revived Agent will have full health but no armor.
Riot
Sage is the only Agent in Valorant who can heal others, herself, and revive eliminated allies. She is a support Agent who can help the team overcome difficult situations and protect allies from certain death.
