<br>Omen's teleport also allows him to get some cool vertical angles not available to many different characters. Being in an unorthodox spot can really throw an enemy off, as they have to choose where to look when they round a corner. If they choose wrong, and they usually will if you're somewhere high that is generally inaccessible to most characters, then you've got another free kill, ripe for the tak<br><br> <br><img alt="" />In between each round of Valorant, players can purchase a primary, a sidearm, and shield. The weapons that are available can easily be compared to CS:GO. For example, the "Frenzy" in Valorant looks just like the "CZ-75" from CS:GO . The "Phantom" looks like an "AK-47." And so on and so forth. Some may say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, <a href="https://www.fpthoughts.com/articles/echo-of-a-perfect-strike.html">Gaming Serendipity</a> others would say that Valve uses variations of real-life weapons, and Riot Games just uses those same guns, but spruces them up with a bit of and fantasy and imaginat<br><br> <br>At the start of each round, players will have a moment to spend their Creds (the in-game currency) to purchase weapons, armor, and abilities. This is called the Buy Phase, and the number of Creds available is directly related to securing certain actions in the previous round. Dying right away will award only a small number of Creds, whereas eliminating opponents, winning the round, and planting the Spike will award m<br><br> <br>Run it Back is a rather limited ultimate, however, that does not speak for its insane utility. Run it Back allows Phoenix players unmatched aggression and recon. Phoenix can potentially rush an enemy team without fear of dying. It also allows players to scout where the enemy team is allowing for some powerful recon application. Run it Back is a simple ultimate but that does not impact its insanely powerful implications throughout a ma<br><br> <br>The first game that many will compare Valorant to is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive , a game that recently beat out DOTA 2 for peak concurrent players on Steam . CS:GO was released in 2012 by Valve. The Counterstrike series was originally a modification from Half-life and CS:GO is the fourth game in the ser<br><br> <br>In between each round players are able to take a few moments to strategize and think about the round. This is different from some of the games in the direct genre as well. One could argue that this is something that is taken from Overwatch or Paladins , but it allows for planning and communicating between teammates that is definitely help<br><br> <br>Two teams of five players face off on one of several maps, with the first team to win thirteen rounds taking the overall match victory. Similar to other FPS games, each team alternates between taking the role of Attacker or Defender. To win a round, all the Attackers need to do is plant the Spike (like a bomb in other titles) on one of several predetermined locations, or simply eliminate the opposing team. Likewise, the Defenders are only tasked with stopping the Spike plant by defusing it within the round time limit or by eliminating the opposit<br><br> <br>With this aggressive playstyle, it can be pretty easy to confuse the enemy, as well. Omen can be almost anywhere, and a good Omen is going to keep the enemy looking over their shoulders for the majority of the ma<br><br> <br>To find the most success with Phoenix understanding how to use his abilities effectively is a necessity. Thankfully, Phoenix's kit allows for players of the character to combine his abilities to create a variety of synergies. Alongside the character's potential for some powerful team-related combination, Phoenix players are spoiled for choice when it comes to optimal p<br><br> <br>Curveball operates in the same manner as the other flashbang style moves in the game. Its utility revolves around a player's ability to communicate with their teammates. Tossing a curveball means that your teammates need to be right behind you as you rush to finish off the blinded enemies. However, curveball has some tricky utility with both Hot Hands and Blaze as you can toss either a fireball or a flame wall to dish out some huge damage on the enemy team. Using Curveball is a perfect way to set up some powerful combos with either your or your teammate's abilities, leading to some potential major team wi<br><br> <br>Tripwire is what it implies. It is a tripwire that can be set up by Cypher players that is invisible to enemy players until they get too close to it, and enemies that touch the tripwire that will be revealed to Cypher . The tripwire can be destroyed by enemies and if they don't destroy it after walking through it, they will be da<br><br> <br>In CS:GO, there are are two teams of five pitted against each other, this is identical to Valorant. One team defends a bombsite while the other tries to plant and blow it up, again this is the goal in Valorant . Even the shooting mechanics in Valorant are very similar to CS:GO. In both games, the shooting patterns of the guns take time to master but can be memorized over time. Movement is slow-paced, unlike a game like Call of Duty, as accuracy decreases the more a player fires their weapon. Players of CS:GO often whip out a knife to move faster, and this same trick applies in Valorant , although some characters like Jett have added spe<br>
