Agent 26 Vyse assumes the role of a Sentinel, with her main purpose being to provide support to her team through the following abilities:
Arc rose (E)
Equip an arc rose. Target a surface and fire to place a stealthed arc rose, or ALT FIRE to place the arc rose through it. Reuse to blind all players looking at it. This ability can be picked up to be redeployed.
Shear (Q)
Equip filaments of liquid metal. Fire to place a hidden wall trap. When an enemy crosses, an indestructible wall bursts from the ground behind them. The Wall lasts for a brief time before dissipating.
Razorvine
Equip a nest of liquid metal. Fire to launch. Upon landing, the nest becomes invisible. When activated, it sprawls out into a large Razorvine nest which slows and damages all players who move through it.
Steel Garden Ultimate (X)
Equip a bramble of liquid metal. Fire to send the metal erupting from you as a torrent of metal thorns, jamming enemy primary weapons after a brief windup.
The developers highlight Vyse’s versatility in setting up, although she may lack some of the informational resources that current meta sentinels offer. They anticipate her excelling in holding ground and withstanding attacks from multiple foes. Her flash ability is more effective when strategically placed, requiring tactical decision-making at the beginning of each round to determine the best defensive approach.
Release Date of Vyse in VALORANT
Vyse is set to be unleashed in the VALORANT Episode 9 Act 2 update scheduled for August 28, 2024. Leading up to her official launch, expect professional players at Valorant Champions 2024 and content creators to showcase Vyse, giving players a preview of her capabilities before she becomes available for gameplay.
