It's why Raze fits a Sagittarius like a glove. Her ability to cause chaos with her explosives and absolutely demolish an unprepared team with her ultimate Showstopper are just a few features this sign will ad
One of Raze's abilities, Blast Pack, is one of the most interesting and versatile abilities in the entire game. Blast Pack, in essence, functions like C4 in other games; you toss it, you blow it up, it hurts enemies. But in Valorant, Raze can't be damaged by her own Blast Packs. Instead, they launch her into the air, making for a ton of creative uses and a high skill ceil
A Short – Near the rugs remains a solid spot to place the Spycam, however, Riot Games seems to dislike the area for this use. We have already seen this changed in a recent patch, partly as an exploit, partly for being too difficult to quickly and easily note where the Spycam is located.

A Tower – Hopping on the boxes to place the camera in the upper corner provides sight over the entire room and is not immediately obvious to players who may not have checked their mini-map for the Spycam locat
Above C Short, C Site Long, C Site C Short – Any of these can provide good value, but Cypher is not one to hold the location. Experiment with which works best, as this will be used sparingly.

Viper gets a lot of flack for being weaker than other controllers such as Brimstone, but she has the unique capability of being able to hold down an entire point by herself, simply by placing down her ultimate. Viper's ultimate ability emits a massive cloud of gas in an area that lasts as long as she stays inside. To foes, vision is stifled in the cloud but enemies inside are highlighted to Vi
Currently in the closed beta, <a href="http://Unpop.net/blog/member.asp?action=view&memName=MarianaVanRaalte6">Valorant Guide</a> has ten different characters to choose from. All of these characters fit into one of four roles: Duelist, Sentinel, Initiator, and Controller. While each character plays drastically different, they still each accomplish the basic function(s) of their role. (Or should, in the right ha
Of all the Agents in VALORANT , Cypher has some of the best potential for high-level play thanks to the information that can be gleaned from the use the Spycam, Tripwire, and Cyber Cage. However, playing Cypher effectively requires a disproportionate mastery of map knowledge to succeed. Staying up to date on how maps change throughout the beta is key, but the reward is masterful plays with this Ag
As VALORANT is still in beta, Riot Games is constantly working to ensure the game is working as intended by design, and this means patching out Spycam exploits on each map as they appear. As a result, each patch often brings map changes, some meant to help overall gameplay, but many with Cypher and his Spycam in mind. These and future patches should be observed closely to ensure the best Cypher play and counterplay. This guide will focus on patch 0.5, with the goal of thinking long-term about how best to use Cypher and his tool
He is also one of the only two entry-fraggers in the game, making him unique. Overall, Phoenix has a very balanced kit, and he can solo-carry games. However, proper teamwork and coordination can tame Phoenix at higher levels of competit
A Sagittarius always wears their heart on their sleeve, similarly to Leos who have all their emotions out in the open. Funny, optimistic and social, Sagittariuses like a flashy playstyle with explosive carry potent
Positioning is everything at higher tiers of play and nobody does it quite like Fade. Her seize ability ties groups of enemies to a single location, preventing them from running away. Haunt also reveals enemies in a specific location, taking the guesswork out of attackers hiding in co
A Tower – This is a great spot to experiment with, but like Bind: A Short, should see a change in the future. Placing the Spycam outside of the window near the decorative, upwards pointing rocks provides a high viewpoint, but too much cover for opponents to quickly ident
Above A Screens #1 – We will mention this as one of the best places to place a camera, but we expect this to be patched out. Placing the Spycam here is not an exploit, but it provides such an abundance of information that it feels like a prime candidate for a nerf in the future. From here, Cypher can see spawn, screens, A Tower, A Main, and more. For now, this is a prime location to learn, but do not be surprised if in the future it is changed or removed due to simply being too effici
KAY/O is in a really tough place right now. While most skills from any Agent can be dodged by skillful players, KAY/O has such huge animations and warning signs from all four of his abilities that landing an attack feels like a mira
Omen's strength comes from his mobility. His two teleport abilities can put him almost anywhere on the map at any time, making him a real threat for a team that fails to communicate his movements in t<img src="https://plus.unsplash.com/premium_photo-1669077046863-cd277345fd31?ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8OXx8dmFsb3JhbnQlMjBiZWdpbm5lciUyMGd1aWRlfGVufDB8fHx8MTc2MDAyNDMxMnww\u0026ixlib=rb-4.1.0"; style="max-width:430px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="a gold v on a green background" />
