Finally, we know what the new Valorant Act 3 agent will bring to the matches in terms of skills. In addition, we can now officially call her Skye!

Riot Games has released a short video that shows what Skye’s abilities are and also reveals a bit about her personality. Skye is a sassy Australian who is friends with Sage, so I guess all Sentianls know each other! But what do the two Sentianels have in common? Well, they can both heal! Yes that’s right, in Valorant Act 3 another healer joins the roster of agents.

Riot Games has officially released an in-game preview of the new Valorant agent, Skye. We get to see her abilities in action, hear her voice, and otherwise get a great first look at the new agent.

The video begins with some Valorant lore. Strange weather events known as “The First Light” are occurring around the world. This has given many people strange new powers, and in response, a secret organization called Valorant is formed and is now recruiting various agents for their organization. So begins the video where Sage calls Skye and asks for iHelp! Okay, maybe you’re not interested in the history of Valorant, so let’s just get on with the powers.

We don’t currently know the name of Skye’s abilities, but that’s okay because at least we can see what she can do!

All of Skye’s abilities are based on nature and her animals, she even says herself that she is not used to working with humans. Her first ability we see is lightning. Skye sends out her falcon, which flies in a straight line and then marks the enemy.

Next up, Skye’s Heal is ready for action. It appears to be an AoE heal that needs to be channeled. This means that Syke has to take cover before she can use it, as she can’t move or shoot during the heal, which is high risk.

After the healing ability, we see Skye summon a wolf (it’s actually a dingo native to Australia) that the player controls. Once you find someone with this ability, you can stun the enemy with it. So it’s a classy ability for scouting.

Lastly, we’ve seen Skye use some sort of nature magic that sends out several green will-o’-the-wisps that seek out the enemy, revealing and flashing them on the map. It’s not entirely clear how this ability works just by looking at the video.

That’s all we know about Skye and her menagerie of beasts! Presumably, she’ll be in the game on October 27.

Agents are the playable characters in Valorant. Each agent belongs to one of four possible classes and has four abilities. In addition, almost every agent represents a country.

There are nineteen agents in total, although in the earliest versions of the game there were only eight. The rest were added gradually.

There are four different classes: Duelist, Initiator, Controller, and Sentinel.

Agents have one Signature Ability which they get free of charge each round.

The riot was meaning to send off the game with 12 agents, however, just 8 were accessible in the early press constructs. On March 29, 2020, a confidential occasion presented Breach. Since the Closed Beta send-off on April 7, 2020, Raze was added alongside the guide Split, bringing the Agent complete to 10. Five agents are accessible at the first send-off, with two more that can be effortlessly opened by stepping up in the game. More agents can be opened by taking Contracts and assembling XP on them.

Agents have base well-being of 100; Light Shields carry the most extreme well-being to 125 and Heavy Shields to 150.

It is the goal of the designers that another specialist be delivered around once per act. New agents require 12-15 months to create, and their plan is engaged around focuses, for example, what’s absent from the game’s current playstyles, are there any imminent thematics that present large open doors, and what’s required for better game wellbeing.

Roles

Every specialist satisfies one of four jobs, characterized by their capacities and playstyle:

• Controller agents are specialists in cutting up perilous domains to get their group in a good position.
• Duelist agents are independent fraggers who their group anticipates, through capacities and abilities, to get high frags and search out commitment first.
• Initiator agents challenge points by setting up their group to enter the challenging ground and push safeguards away.
• Sentinel agents are protective specialists who can secure regions and watch flanks, both on assailant and protector adjusts.
