Trap your foes with Valorant’s next defensive agent: Vyse
Riot Games has unveiled Vyse, the latest agent for its tactical 5v5 shooter Valorant. This defensive Sentinel hero uses liquid metal to isolate, trap and disarm aggressive players that dive in recklessly.
“For Vyse, we wanted to create a Sentinel that had a solution to space taking duelists in a way that wasn’t primarily stall-oriented,” said Kevin Meier, Valorant game designer at Riot Games. “During development, we often thought of Vyse setups like a Spider Web — allowing players to enter the web, but delivering a killing blow when stuck.”
While Vyse doesn’t have the information gathering tools of other Sentinel agents, she makes up for it with the flexibility of her trap setups and ability to lock down a space against multiple enemies.
She also has a flash bang to blind enemies — the first true flash for agents in her role. This keeps her more defensive tool kit relevant when players are on the attack, which encourages players to experiment with team composition in return.
