VALORANT will have a new agent - Neon

Riot Games has officially announced a new agent in VALORANT - a girl from Manila named Neon with unique abilities sharpened for speed. A short video preview of the agent demonstrates Neon's abilities.

Another agent (already the 18th in a row) has electrical abilities, which are shown in the trailer. Neon can slide after sprinting, and can create and throw electric grenades that bounce off walls. One of the skills allows you to create two parallel walls that block the opponent's view. The ultimate Neon ability will allow you to deal damage at a short distance, passing a current through your fingers.

Apparently, Neon will become a very mobile character, able to quickly cover distances - probably using a sprint.

Neon is expected to appear in the game with the start of Act 1 of Episode 4, "Separation", which opens on January 12, 2022.
