Riot Games Unveils Vyse: The Metallic Mastermind Sentinel Coming to VALORANT
Riot Games has officially revealed Vyse, the latest sentinel to join VALORANT's agent roster. This metallic mastermind introduces a unique arsenal of abilities centered around liquid metal, designed to isolate, trap, and disarm her enemies. Vyse's cunning and manipulative playstyle is set to instill fear in all who dare to face her on the battlefield.
Vyse's abilities offer a blend of tactical control and area denial:
- Arc Rose: Vyse equips an Arc Rose, allowing her to target surfaces and place a stealthed device. When triggered, the Arc Rose blinds all players looking at it. This ability can be picked up and redeployed, adding versatility to her toolkit.
- Shear: This ability lets Vyse equip filaments of liquid metal to create hidden wall traps. When an enemy crosses the trap, an indestructible wall bursts from the ground behind them, temporarily blocking their retreat.
- Razorvine: Vyse equips a nest of liquid metal that, when fired, becomes invisible upon landing. Once activated, it sprawls into a razorvine nest that slows and damages any players who move through it, making it a powerful tool for area control.
- Steel Garden (Ultimate): Vyse's ultimate ability unleashes a bramble of liquid metal that erupts from her, sending metal thorns in all directions. After a brief windup, it jams enemy primary weapons, leaving them vulnerable in battle.
Vyse is set to release on August 28, 2024, as part of VALORANT Episode 9 Act II. Players eager to see Vyse in action can find assets available at the Riot Games media center. With her arrival, the battlefield is about to become a much more dangerous place for those who underestimate her metallic might.
