Odin can be summed up as being the beefed-up version of Ares, as it is simply put Ares, but better. Odin shoots faster and harder, making it a perfect gun to spray and pray with, as it is virtually impossible to miss enemies with it in close to mid-range, especially in tighter areas. The main drawback of Odin is its price, as it costs more than some of the top-ranking guns in the game while lacking their damage output and accur

Sheriff is a revolver that has the title of the strongest handgun in Valorant , mainly due to its raw damage output . By having a relatively low cost, you can get it in the first round of the game, and because it has such high damage, any headshots you get against enemies with no armor are guaranteed one-hit-kills. Sure, it's not as useful in the later rounds if your economy is strong, but if you master using this gun as soon as possible, your early rounds will be a walk in the p

The Boom Bot, or Battle Roomba, is a delightfully diabolical little machine that seems cute on the outside but will end up ruining your entire life. This is released in a line in front of you and bounces off walls in the opposite angle with which it made contact. Once it finds an enemy, it turns directly towards them and rushes them, attempting to explode right on top of t

Defending the B Site is all about gathering information and delaying the opposing team’s aggression. B Site is usually held by a solo Agent and the best picks suited for B Site defending are Viper, Cypher, and Sa

Raze is one of the most versatile characters in Valorant. She can be fit into just about any play-style, provided you're in close enough range to throw your Paint Shells and make use of the Blast Packs.

One key mechanic of Viper that is entirely unique to her; most of her abilities require fuel to stay active.

When certain abilities are active, the fuel is drained, Valorantpedia.com and once it's empty, the abilities will deactiv

Just because a Boom Bot gets shot before it detonates on an enemy doesn't mean it was a waste. Sending a Boom Bot into an occupied hallway/room is, nine times out of ten, going to force an enemy to destroy it before it destroys them, and if you're paying attention, you'll be able to tell where the shots came from and where the enemy is before you en

Managing the fuel and knowing when to keep your abilities active and when to let them deactivate for a time can really end up being the difference in a round; nothing is worse than relying on some kind of ability just for it to fail you when you need it the m
