Between the top of closed beta and subsequent week’s official launch, we’re in one thing of a Valorant dead-zone. To be sure to haven’t forgotten about their new tactical wizard shoot ’em up, Riot have stuffed this brief break with a teaser for Valorant’s eleventh superpowered soldier – a purple-clad disruption vampire who grows in energy with each kill.

As is the norm for Valorant character reveals, we don’t get the total rundown of Reyna’s talents on this Tweet. But followers on Reddit found a Spanish-language article from Millenium shared by considered one of Riot’s regional model managers that appears to stipulate the brand new Agent’s toolkit (cheers, Dot Esports).
The article means that these orbs proven in Reyna’s teaser are dropped each time an enemy participant is killed. Collecting these with both her Q or E capacity will grant Reyna three seconds of regeneration or invulnerability respectively. That eye she fires off is her C capacity, a brief entice that blinds enemies who let it seems on their display.
The one capacity we don’t see is Reyna’s final, Empress. Millenium suggests this boosts her capacity regeneration price whereas upping her price of fireside – letting her blast out bullets and blind spots at a startling velocity. It’s additionally famous that her ult will be in some way “combined” along with her E capacity to change into utterly invisible.
If true, Reyna appears a harmful hero to let reside – rising in disruption potential the longer she’s left to wrack up kills. But we gained’t know for sure till she makes her full debut round Valorant’s full launch on Tuesday, June 2nd, together with a brand new map and gamemode. Keen-eyed readers may really discover Valorant’s new launch map within the background of Reyna’s showcase.
It’d be silly to invest primarily based on the one chokepoint proven – but it surely seems to be kinda like that courtyard Counter-Strike‘s Italy. Sort of. If you squint actual onerous.
