Riot Games introduces Valorant Agent 26 Vyse: All abilities explained

The long-awaited Agent 26 for Valorant has now been revealed to be Vyse, a sentinel who uses liquid metal vines to disarm/trap opponents and provide support to her teammates to take a site. As a sentinel, Vyse can also act as a great site anchor to slow down enemies and deny entry until the rest of the team arrives.

Her ability requires early set up and can be triggered, which is great as players don’t have to risk exposing themselves to others while also keeping control of the situation. A first look at the agent does reveal a fun gameplay style which will likely be enjoyed by Cypher mains. Players also don’t have to wait long as Vyse is set to arrive on August 28 Episode 9 Act 2.
