VALORANT Patch 9.05 bring buffs to Chamber and Astra: Breeze added to unrated

Valorant just released a Patch 9.05 that addressed multiple bugs in the game, including maps, weapons and characters. Alongside that, Chamber and Astra have also received a buff in order to match up to other agents in terms of their roles.

Agent buffs

Chamber - Teleport radius increased from 13m to 18m

Rendezvous is a crucial ability for Chamber, allowing players to quickly teleport back to safety. However, a 13m radius wasn’t doing justice for someone whose gimmick is getting information. The increase to 18m will allow players much more flexibility, even in small flanks.

Astra - Stars increased from 4 to 5

Another simple buff similar to Chamber, increasing the number of stars allow Astra to have a little more flexibility on smokes and trap placement. This allows her to cover more crucial defence points without wasting time going back and forth in her astral form.
