Vyse is a metal-manipulating Guardian who will appear in Episode 9 Act II of Valorant.
Riot Games announces new Agent Vyse as part of Valorant Episode 9 Act II. Vyse is a metal-manipulating Sentinel who uses liquid metal to isolate, immobilize, and disarm the opposing team.
With the Bow Rose ability, Vyse temporarily blocks her opponent’s vision. With her Scissors ability, she uses filaments of liquid metal to set up traps that, when triggered, create impenetrable walls for a short time.
With her Razor Vine ability, she can plant a nest of liquid metal that slows enemies and deals damage on contact. With her ultimate ability, Steel Garden, Vyse shoots metallic spikes that jam the enemy team’s primary weapons.
“Vyse was meant to be a Guardian who has a solution for duelists that isn’t primarily based on stalling. Someone who can punish aggressive players who rush forward recklessly,” explains Kevin Meier, game designer of VALORANT.
“Vyse is very flexible in terms of setups, but she lacks the intelligence tools that current meta Guardians have. We expect her to be very good at holding positions, even against multiple opponents. Her blind is more effective when placed up front, so players will have to decide how to hold an area at the start of the round. Vyse players should be willing to get their hands dirty, as she will be most effective when she uses her blind.”
Vyse will be playable in Episode 9 Act II starting August 28, 2024.
