One caveat about this skill is that as long as someone is standing behind an obstacle, the arrow will not scan them.
There are a lot of line-ups* that you can do to get the Recon Bolt to land exactly at the point of the map that you wish to scan. You are able to make this arrow bounce once or twice before landing on a surface, and you can use this to scan harder to reach areas. He is able to fire an arrow that is able to scan an area for enemies. Sova’s Recon Bolt is his signature ability. Whatever it is, Sova remains the only agent that is able to source for information clearly without putting yourself in harm’s way. You can rush your enemy down with the information you have, or simply avoid the site since you know you might stand a better chance at another one. By simply knowing where your enemies are, you have a major advantage, whether pushing or defending a site. Information in VALORANT is extremely important. He has the most important “IT-factor” that most agents don’t have - the ability to get information. Sova is perhaps one of the most useful Initiators out of the four we have currently. Even when defending, most of his utility will cause so much disruption to the enemies that they may think twice before pushing the site you are on.Ībilities: Owl Drone, Shock Bolt, Recon Bolt Like we said earlier, Breach’s toolkit allows him to brute force his way onto site when attacking. This is extremely useful as well since its larger radius allows Breach to stun even more enemies when pushing a site. You can also use this to stall enemies and push them out of position, because Aftershock usually deals enough damage to kill a player if it hits.īreach's ultimate, Rolling Thunder, is very similar to Fault Line, but affects a much larger area, and will also knock enemies off their feet when it hits them. You can use this to clear corners and tight spaces where you think the enemy might be camping. Prior to Episode 3, it did a whopping 180 damage in one explosion. Currently, when Aftershock explodes, it fires 3 shots that deal 60 damage each.
This skill fires similarly to Flashpoint, but is an explosive instead. This sets up the perfect opportunity for a Duelist like Reyna (who has slow flashes) to run in to get kills.Īftershock is another ability that Breach has. What makes Flashpoint extremely effective is that there is barely any time to look away from the flash once a Breach fires it at a wall, and most of the time enemies will be flashed almost instantly. When Breach fires Flashpoint at a wall, it will explode on the opposite side of that wall. It is a flashbang-like projectile that blinds enemies for a considerable amount of time. When a good Initiator player is coupled with a good Duelist player, pushing into enemy territory will always be much easier than having only one Duelist to front the assault.īut, like the Duelists, each of VALORANT's Initiators are special in their own way.įlashpoint is perhaps the skill that everyone hates when playing against Breach. In addition to this, three out of four Initiators are able to source for information (on player whereabouts) without engaging the enemy and physically going into dangerous areas. This is very true for all Initiators currently in the game. “ Initiators challenge angles by setting up their team to enter contested ground and push defenders away.” Riot Games' definition of an Initiator is as follows: On the surface, some Initiators are very similar to Duelists, but their toolkits are much more robust in flushing enemies out of corners and helping your team when charging into battle, true to their name. This time, we're looking at another class of agents - the Initiator. In our previous article, we talked about VALORANT's Duelists and their roles in the current meta of the game. The information is provided at the time of publishing, and does not account for changes to the game or meta over a longer period of time.
