With all the good news upcoming. This evening comes the breaking deadly news, Valorant tweeter handle released the sneak-peak of the new upcoming Valorant champion SKYE. This is a major leak to the game. We all know that Devs are working hard on releasing the new map ICE BOX on the next update which will also contain ACT-3.
Today, Riot has revealed through their blog that they’ll release the new agent on October 27th, two weeks after the release of Act 3. The reason behind delaying the new champion is the high demand of the new map. Players are more interested on getting the new map rather than a new champion.
However, all the detail of the new champion has already been leaked. Well not every thing but the we can say the ability has been leaked.
SKYE:
She’s an initiator
Abilities:
E Guiding Light Cost: 100
Q Trailblazer Cost: 200
C Regrowth Cost: 200
X Seekers
Abilities:
E: EQUIP a hawk trinket. FIRE to send it forward. HOLD FIRE to guide the hawk in the direction of your crosshair. RE-USE while the hawk is in flight to transform it into a flash.
Q: EQUIP a Tasmanian tiger trinket. FIRE to send out and take control of the predator. While in control, FIRE to leap forward, exploding in a concussive blast and damaging directly hit enemies.
(ULTIMATE) X: EQUIP a Seeker trinket. FIRE to send out three Seekers to track down the three closest enemies. If a Seeker reaches its target, it near sights them.
C: EQUIP a healing trinket. HOLD FIRE to channel, healing allies in range and line of sight. Can be reused until her healing pool is depleted. Skye cannot heal herself.
As the new character is going as initiator this is going to be fun. In the present context of time there are only two initiators in the game, SOVA & BREACH, Present meta of the game is hardily focused on sova player while some play in breach side it would be fun if the new character skye can break this meta and defeat sova and breach. Just when killjoy was released the games meta was totally broken players expect SKYE to do the same. The character must do something interesting otherwise no one will be picking this character. Viper is on the same spot at the present time.
According to the leak, her abilities will consist of an AoE heal, a drone similar to Sova, a bird which can be used to scout out enemies, and an ultimate which will release three wolves to chase enemies.
We have the leaks but the agent is not coming any time soon. First the new map icebox is being polished, Riot Games stated that the new map will not be available for competitive for 2 weeks after its release. The new agent is said to come to the game after 2 weeks of act 3 along with the competitive scenario of the new map icebox.
We hope the new map and the new agent does something very good to change the plays of current meta.
I personally think that wall bang from every wall should be removed. Like in CSGO the wall-bang should maintain. Every one just spams on wall to get kill, This is very annoying.
Above photo also shows the collection of new skins bundle to the game. The red and black knife looks very attractive. Somehow it resembles the karambit knife from CSGO, But it is not so,
So it is clear that first update will be:
- ACT-3 alongside with new map Icebox
- Competitive scenario of Icebox and addition of new agent of SKYE.
- 2 new bundles of skin Black and red with green and white.
- Skye is going to be an initiator.
- ACT-3 and icebox and Skye and competitive aspect will have a gap of 2 weeks at least.
