Valorant List of Playable Characters

Valorant is a free-to-play 5v5 tactical shooter game created by Riot Games. Its close beta ended on May 28, 2020, and was released worldwide on June 2, 2020.

The gameplay is very simple. In Detonate and Defuse, 10 players will be divided into two teams wherein you can buy weapons, shields, and abilities unique to each agent. Teams will be categorized as attackers and defenders.

The goal is to eliminate all players in the opposing teams or complete objectives (Plant spike or defuse spike). The first team to reach 13 rounds wins.

Riot also added a free-for-all deathmatch mode wherein all abilities are discarded, you have infinite money and you’ll respawn after 2 seconds. The first player to reach 30 kills or the person who has the highest kills within the time limit wins.

As of writing, there are 12 agents to choose from, each of them having unique abilities.

• Two Regular Abilities: These can be bought every round but will still remain after if you don’t use it
• Signature Abilities: Free every round
• Ultimate: You need to charge this ability before using this. You can charge this by killing enemies, completing objectives picking up orbs.
