Here’s the set of Neon’s abilities in Valorant:

(E) High Gear

(Q) Relay Bolt

(C) Fast Lane

Fire two energy lines forward on the ground that extend a short distance or until they hit a surface. The lines rise into walls of static electricity that block vision and damage enemies passing through them.

(X) Overdrive

Neon charges its full power and speed for a short duration. Fire to channel the power into a deadly lightning beam with high movement accuracy. The duration resets on each kill.


These abilities will make Neon an aggressive player. Her speedy mobility and abilities, like High Gear and Fast Lane, will allow her to entry-frag and take down the defending enemies present at the site within a moment.

The Relay Bolt ability allows Neon to concuss enemies hiding in a corner. The Duelist can also make eco-rounds easier with her ultimate, Overdrive, like Jett and Chamber, as it can kill the enemies with a powerful and deadly beam coming out of her fingertips.

It will be interesting to see how the new Filipino Valorant Duelist Agent brings a change to the meta soon after its release on January 11, 2022, with Episode 4 Act 1.
