VALORANT Agent 26 role and abilities

According to leaks, the new Agent 26 in VALORANT will be a Sentinel, whose primary focus would be to provide support to her teammates by using the following abilities:

(Q) Similar to Killjoy’s Alarm Bot – Traps become invisible after being placed, and when an opponent triggers the trap, they are slowed and take damage. (2 Charges)
(C) Place a wall that triggers and rises when an opponent enters it. (1 Charge)
(E) A flash ability that can be pre-placed on walls to take down opponents or used from behind walls. After use, the ability has a 20-second cooldown before it can be used again. (1 Charge)
(X Ultimate) Deploy a spike that, when triggered, prevents any opponent caught by it from using their weapon. (8 Orbs)

So far it seems like Agent 26 will be a replica of Killjoy if we take her Q and X Ultimate abilities into account. However, it’s worth noting that the info is entirely based on leaks, so we suggest taking it with a pinch of salt.

VALORANT Agent 26 release date

Agent 26 will be officially released as a part of the Episode 9 Act 2 update on August 27/28 depending on the region. Luckily, the character gameplay will be officially revealed on August 25, 2024, during the Valorant Champions 2024 Grand Finals. Soon after that, you will witness various professional players and content creators playing this new agent to give you a glimpse prior to her release.
