Vyse is Valorant's newest sentinel Agent

As a seasoned Valorant gamer with countless hours under my belt and a knapsack full of agent-switching stories, I must admit, the introduction of Ryse, the metallic mastermind, has me intrigued. Her unique playstyle revolving around manipulating the battlefield is something I’ve yearned for in this tactical shooter landscape.


Riot Games has unveiled the upcoming playable character for its tactical shooter, Valorant. This new character is a robot named Ryse, who can alter the battlefield using liquid metal to trap opponents and separate them from their teammates. You’ll be able to see her in action starting with Episode 9 Act 2.

In the gaming world, I’m the 26th Agent in Valorant, dubbed as the “metallic mastermind” named Vyse. As a Sentinel, my unique set of skills is all about limiting the enemy’s moves and disrupting their objective play. Here’s a breakdown of Vyse’s powers:

  • Arc Rose: EQUIP an Arc Rose. Target a surface and FIRE to place a stealthed Arc Rose, or ALT Fire to place the Arc Rose through it. REUSE to blind all players looking at it. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.
  • Shear: EQUIP filaments of liquid metal. FIRE to place a hidden wall trap. When an enemy crosses, an indestructible wall bursts from the ground behind them. The wall lasts for a brief time before dissipating.
  • Razorvine: EQUIP a nest of liquid metal. FIRE to launch. Upon landing, the nest becomes invisible. When ACTIVATED, it sprawls out into a large razorvine nest which slows and damages all players who move through it.
  • (ULT) Steel Garden: EQUIP a bramble of liquid metal. FIRE to send the metal erupting from you as a torrent of metal thorns, JAMMING enemy primary weapons after a brief windup.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m pumped to announce that I, Vyse, am set to join the Valorant roster when Episode 9 Act 2 kicks off on August 28, 2024! Keep it locked with Shacknews for all the latest Valorant updates.
