Let's take a look at one of the characters that created the most stir back when the Valorant closed beta first began: Raze. She's since been nerfed, but she is still a perfectly viable character to choose and can be a force of nature in the right ha
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
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.

She can fill any role and is tremendous on both offense and defense. She falls to the middle of the pack in competitive play as most hardcore gamers favor offense over defense, but she's still got her usefulness when placed with top-tier damage deal
Her Sonic Sensor traps can be bypassed by slow walking, and her Ultimate can be dodged easily before it can even get its target. The Gravnet Grenade, however, is another strong ability from Deadlock that can suppress the enemy movement in chaotic situati
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
Raze is an agent of chaos, with an ability to dish out immense amounts of damage when mastered. Her Boom Bot can be annoying if players are caught by it unawares, and her Blast Packs and Paint Shells do serious dam
Although many people argue that duelists are weak in the current state of the game due to their lack of utility, a skilled Jett player can silence the haters in a cloud of head clicks and dashes. Jett is the ultimate skirmisher; she can jump, dash and float around her enemies, setting up highlight reel plays. She can create clouds of smoke which block vision, and her ultimate allows the player to send a flurry of throwing knives which kills instantly on headsh
Sentimental and social but also concerned with knowledge, Libras are team players who not only want to play for damage but also bring in something completely unique. Agents with a duality of carry potential and utility are ideal for t
Yoru is a strong Agent with a huge arsenal full of epic weapons. He's a great Agent to play with either in solo or team games, as he can easily fend for himself when he needs to, and can lead to victory on his own
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
Also, when placed in the perfect position in a team, she can easily fend for herself, proving to be a great asset to the team. In solo games, she might be a harder character to bring to full victory because of her limited set of skills, but she's definitely not the worst Agent out there. At the time of this writing, she has the highest kill-to-death ratio across all tiers of competitive p
It's no secret just how critical Cypher is to a winning team in <a href="http://unpop.net/blog/member.asp?action=view&memName=HeleneSerena644589">Valorant patch notes</a> . The information about the location of his opponents that the sentinel agent gathers through his traps, trip wires and spy camera is what makes Cypher one of the most widely considered strongest agents in the g
A couple of things to keep in mind about Showstopper is that you have to fire it in a certain time from once pulling it out, thus the Rocket Fuse in the picture above. Also, when you fire it, the force of it is going to knock you back a few feet, so make sure you're mindful of that and don't step back somewhere you don't want to
Every agent in VALORANT has four unique abilities. Each ability offers some strategic element that determines what class an agent falls under. There are currently four classes in VALORANT to choose from. Initiators are agents who use their abilities to engage in a contested area. These agents are often the best at initiating large battles, hence their name. Duelists are agents who excel in single combat. Duelists' abilities help them secure kills, and you'll usually see a duelist's name at the top of the kills leaderbo
The Boom Bot, or Battle Roomba, is a delightfully diabolical little machine that seems cute on the outside but will end up ruining your entire life. This is released in a line in front of you and bounces off walls in the opposite angle with which it made contact. Once it finds an enemy, it turns directly towards them and rushes them, attempting to explode right on top of t
