The Agent Ulti can be a powerful tool in Valorant. But how do you use it correctly? The most important thing is perfect timing, but there are a few other tips and tricks!

Right off the bat, don’t just blast out your Ultimate in Valorant as soon as it’s available. Perfectly timed Ultis can often win entire rounds and help improve your ranking. But every Ultimate works differently: here we show you what to look out for in which agent.

Phoenix – Revenge

• Immediately place a marker at Phoenix’s position. This ability will end when Phoenix dies or the timer runs out. Once the ability ends, Phoenix is returned to the marked position with full health. position with full health.

If you’re playing as an attacker, you should always make sure that an ally is nearby as soon as you activate the Ultimate. This way you can push aggressively and look behind every corner without fearing for your life. Even if you get killed, your teammate can get the refrag relatively easily. This way you maximize your ultimate potential by providing information for your team and possibly even getting a few more kills. Of course, the Ulti can also be used to grab the spike or a dropped weapon. As soon as you respawn, you will have them. As a defender, you should save the Ulti for retakes or clutch situations. It is also possible to use it when the attackers are about to storm your spot – just make sure your marker is placed in a safe place.

Sage – Resuscitation

RESTORE your resuscitation ability. FIRE while your crosshairs are crosshairs over a dead ally to revive them. revive him. After a short channeling, the ally will be revived with full health.

Resurrection is probably one of the best Ultis in the game. There is no perfect timing for using the revive, as it can be used at any stage of the game. Don’t misunderstand, it’s obviously not wise to blow it in a 4v1 situation, but you can always use it to even the odds should you find yourself behind. Ideally, you should use the Ulti to retrieve your team’s top fragger or an agent most likely to help you in the current situation. Always be aware of your surroundings and only start the revive if you are absolutely sure that there is no enemy nearby – the Barrier Orb can provide additional protection.

Viper – Snake Pit

• ARMS a chemical sprayer. FIRE to spray a cloud of chemicals around Viper. This cloud reduces the visibility and the maximum health of players inside it.

Viper’s Ulti is unfortunately only really useful when placing the spike, as it doesn’t provide any significant advantage in other situations. Use the Ulti after you have taken a site and place the spike in the gas cloud. But be careful, the enemies know you are in the cloud and have ways to get you out. Air Strike or Fury of the Hunter, for example, are good counters to your Ulti. It’s best to make sure your opponents have one of the counter Ultis ready before you use it.

Jett – Blade Storm

• ARMS some throwing knives that replenish when you kill an enemy. kill an opponent. FIRE to throw a single blade at your target. FIRE IN ALTERNATIVE MODE to throw all remaining blades at your target.

Jett’s Blade Storm is perfect for close and mid-range combat. The blades logically have no recoil and are still accurate even when jumping. Use updrafts to catapult yourself into the air and surprise your enemies from above. Another important point is that with the Ulti you can either throw all the knives at once or individually. If you throw them all at once, you’ll get a sure kill and your knives will be replenished. It’s best to use the Ulti when there are still a lot of enemies alive, so you can get multiple kills with one Ulti.

Sova – Fury of the Hunter

• Equip a bow with three energy blasts that have a long range and penetrate and penetrate walls. FIRE to unleash a blast of energy in a line in front of in a line in front of Sova, dealing damage and revealing the position of enemies that are hit. This ability can be REACTIVATED up to two times as long as the ability’s timer has not expired. has expired.

Wrath of the Hunter is mainly used to shoot through walls. The perfect timing for using this ability depends on many factors. It doesn’t matter if the Ulti is used at the beginning or the end of the round, as long as you know where the enemies are. This is crucial, you can’t just randomly shoot through walls and hope for a hit. Wait to use the Ulti until you’ve either scouted out enemies yourself or Cypher, for example, does it for you.

Reyna – Empress

• Immediately gives a battle frenzy, which greatly increases fire, equipment and reload speed. A kill resets the duration.

Reyna is the agent of choice for really good players with very good Aim. Her Ulti Empress turns Reyna into a true killing machine. Since the Ulti’s duration resets with each kill, it’s important to use it when several enemies are still alive to fully utilize its potential. Also, each kill fully replenishes your health and you can even briefly become invisible to quickly reposition yourself. For these very reasons, her Ulti is rather useless in 1v1 situations and should rather be saved for important clutch situations. Just don’t waste it in Eco or Anti-Eco rounds!

Valorant Beginner’s Guide

Overwhelmed with Valorant? No wonder… Without experience in similar games (such as CS:GO or Overwatch) the start in Valorant is difficult. But don’t worry, we are here to help you with our Valorant Beginner Guide.

Valorant is a special game. Many think that getting into the game is easy, but without shooter experience, you’ll quickly be on the ropes. Even CS:GO veterans can get into trouble… In Counter Strike, there are no flying knife-throwing things-people. But that’s why we are here.

This beginner’s guide is meant to help you get started in Valorant and introduce you to the world of Valorant. After that, the most important features should be clear to you, so that the fun in Valorant is not lost.

Valorant Beginner Guide: Basics

Let’s start with the meaning behind the game. In other words: What is Valorant anyway? Valorant is a first-person shooter in which two teams consisting of five players face off. The first team to win 13 rounds wins. Both teams have a different role – attacker and defender.

The goal of the attackers is to place a spike and protect it until detonation. This must happen on one of the three spots (A/B/C). In turn, the defenders must prevent the attackers from doing so.

Each match consists of two halves. After the first half (12 rounds), the two teams switch roles. The attackers become defenders, the defenders become attackers. Easy.

Agents

Before the start of a match, each player must choose an agent. Agents have unique skills, which in most cases also require a certain playstyle (offensive, defensive, support, etc.). Currently there are 16 agents in total, but new agents have already been leaked and should be added soon.

As a new player, you can initially choose between 5 free agents: Brimstone, Phoenix, Sova, Jett and Sage. To unlock more agents, you will have to sign contracts, which is mostly done via Daily Quests or earning experience points.

Valorant Beginner Guide: The best agent to start with

Phoenix is by far the easiest agent to start with in Valorant. His skills are not too complicated, can be combined well in any situation. But watch out with the flashbangs (aka your Q skill)! You’ll probably flashbang yourself and your mates quite often in the beginning, but practice makes perfect!

Valorant Beginner Guide: The best mode to start with

Stay away from Unrated mode for the beginning. This may sound strange, but especially the beginning of Valorant might be hard for you. Frustration will lead to quick quits, which in turn will get you involved in penalties and XP loss. That’s why you should start with Spike Rush first. An average game here lasts 8 minutes, while other modes can easily go over 50 minutes. In Spike Rush, you’ll be quickly released from suffering without having to take any penalties.

In addition, you don’t have to do any eco rounds in Spike Rush. This means that you’ll be able to try out your agents’ abilities, as well as the most varied weapons. Spike Rush is a great mode to learn the basics of Valorant. When you feel like you’re firmly in the saddle, you can try your luck in Unrated mode. After 20 matches in Unrated mode, you’ll gain access to Competitive mode, where you can earn ranks.
