Neon – spark, the 19th agent of Valorant and this is agent from the Philippines. Possessing a set of skill sets including gears, lightning bolt, high energy and overload, neon is described as a name with a formidable speed, more than Jett and Yoru. According to Riot Games, this will be an agent that can easily enter the fighting phase and be preferred to choose in the near future.
In addition, the publisher also revealed information about Yoru remake. The Japanese agent is Valorant's fifth Duelist next to Raze, Jett, Reyna and Phoenix. However, Yoru is not popular because of the one -color play and is easy to be captured. That is why the Yoru selection rate at Valorant Champions 2021 is 0% and Riot Games is forced to intervene.
In terms of weapons, up to 3 guns were increased power, including Ares, Bulldog and Guardian. In particular, the shooting rate of Ares is increased from 10 to 13, and the mechanism of reducing the speed of shot when viewing the Guardian is also removed. With Bulldog, this gun is also speeded up from 9.5 to 10 and may be an effective option in the weak money round.
From the 4.0 update, the ranking mechanism has also changed many. Players are forced to reach level 20 and compete in all 10 matches to be able to participate in the ranking. The final important change of the 4.0 update is the site bomb areas of the Breeze and Bind maps. Details of the innovation of the two maps are as follows:
Bind
The container to hide in the short road A has been changed to eliminate the position of using a strong one -way smoke bomb – which still makes this area a bit difficult to access to the attacker. Guardians will still be able to interfere, new layouts will open for the attacker to options to push into Spike.
Breeze
Increasing the width of the main field fighting line A and eliminating the 50/50 situation (that is, there are 2 positions that the opponent may appear). This gives the defense more options when implementing the strategy in the main line A. At the same time, this way also removes the rate of 50/50 both when entering and out of the cave, so you can push in a more tactical way.
Add a husband and two boxes in the cave. The attacker is pushing in will have a hiding position, and the defense also has more opportunities to dispute the space. Adjust the hiding place behind Zone A, expanding the edge of the lake to the distant wall. Changing the hiding position will help the defense to get a safe place to withdraw and add more shields when retake. The expansion of the lake area will help players in this area comfortably operate.
The expansion of the Spike area is also to suit the new shape of the lake. Adjusting the curved wall in the mid area makes this area simpler and easier to observe. Add a hiding place next to the column at Zone B, a new wall to block the back area and add a barrel to the wall B.
The new hiding position on the column will create many fighting opportunities both before and after placing Spike. This adjustment will block the view of the main road B and also a hiding position for players to take advantage. Surely this new hiding place will be helpful when retreating and retake.
The new barrel husband will block a number of corners from the main road B, bringing more options when the site or Retake, while preventing the “weird” gun battles that can occur in thin walls. Doors in Zone B can only activate when opened or closed completely.
Those are important changes of the 4.0 update. In the coming time, many new interesting mechanisms will also be introduced by Riot Games to help Valorant more complete, especially competitive in ranking.
