Valorant is a popular first-person shooter game, which is developed and published by Riot Games in 2020. The game features a list of characters known as “Agents,” each with their own unique set of abilities. Agents can be purchased, or unlocked, for free simply through playing. Each agent has its own personality and four or five type unique abilities, including a signature and an ultimate.
Before playing the game Valorant you need to know what abilities the agents have. Each character has four to five abilities, with the first signature ability you get for free per round, the remaining two to three abilities you have to buy (but they last for multiple rounds until used), and the last ability you have to kill an enemy to get.
The agents have different accuracy, different reaction times, and strategy are the main features of VALORANT, but abilities, and how they interact with each other, are complete to the run of the game.
