The VERSUS// Reyna + Viper player card depicts the duelist and the controller facing each other, whilst Viper guides a young Reyna through a laboratory setting.

Regarding the player card, Preeti Khanolkar, the senior producer at Valorant, said:

VERSUS// Reyna + Viper is one of those cards that we’ve wanted to do for a long time thanks to all the really cool VO lines between the two agents. We often felt like those lines told us just enough about the agents to make us interested, but left us wanting to know more.

Previously, Valorant’s Creative Director David Nottingham hinted towards an alternative origin for Radianite agents, which led to speculation on Artificial Radiants. It was also speculated that Omen might be an Artificial Radiant, on whom Viper experimented with Radianite.

The New Versus Card might hint at the origin of Reyna’s Power, as she might have been experimented on at a young age by Viper. It is quite possible that refining the technology and experimenting with them might have resulted in Reyna becoming an Artificial radiant at an early age.

Versus cards have traditionally depicted two or more Valorant agents facing off against each other.
