New Valorant Duelist Agent, Neon: All abilities and ultimate revealed so far

Riot Games has not yet announced the names of her abilities but introduced fans to the mechanics through a recent agent trailer. Neon is equipped with electrical charges and is capable of fast mobility.

Following are the four abilities of Neon that are shown in the new cinematic video:

Ability 1: Stun/Concussion Nade

Apart from her faster mobility, the new Valorant duelist agent is equipped with grenades that can stun or concuss the enemies in that area. As the trailer shows, when the grenade is thrown, the entire radius quakes and stuns the opponents.


Ability 2: Two walls to create a tunnel

Neon's ability resembles Pheonix's Blaze ability, but with two parallel walls. This allows her to enter-frag into the site with ease by blocking the enemies' vision. A tunnel or a passage is created, which might become difficult for the enemies to cross through, as well.


Ability 3: Sprint and Slide

Neon's ability allows her to sprint and slide along with speedy movements. Moreover, she can also shoot while sliding onto the floors, making it hard for the enemies to place the crosshair quick enough to fire accurately.


Ultimate Ability: Electric charges from finger tips

The Filipino Valorant agent's ultimate makes her more overpowered than her normal state. This allows her to channel through her finger tips. Neon's ultimate potentially stuns or electrocutes the enemies when the charge is fired on them.


Fans and the community have been making various speculations since the release of the trailer, but nothing about the abilities has been well described by the developers yet. However, the details will hopefully be released soon.
