First look at VALORANT’s new initiator agent Fade

25 April 2022

Riot Games has tweeted a video which gives Valorant players a first in-game look at the upcoming initiator agent, Fade.

This short video shows the agent’s ability set and playstyle centred around locating enemies and controlling the battlefield.

E ability – Haunt: Throws out an orb which will drop to the ground after a set amount of time. Once it hits the ground, it transforms into a nightmarish entity that will reveal enemies caught in its line of sight. This entity can be destroyed.

Q ability – Seize: Throws out an orb which falls after a set period and which, upon hitting the ground, spawns a zone of ink. Enemies caught in the zone cannot escape through regular movement.

C ability – Prowler: Sends out a projectile which travels in a straight line and locks onto any enemies or trails in its line of sight. The prowler will chase this target, and if it reaches them, it will apply near-sighted.

X ability – Nightfall: Sends out a wave of nightmare energy that travels through walls and creates trails to enemies. It also deafens and decays them.

Fade will be added to the game as part of Episode 4, Act 3, which will release next week.
