After leaks spoiled the surprise, <\/span>Valorant<\/span><\/a> players received a more detailed look into Neon\u2019s abilities on 5th January as Riot Games released a brand new cinematic trailer. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Manila-based duelist agent can outrun and outgun her opponents with a sprint ability and lightning finger guns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valorant  Neon – Abilities<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sprint<\/strong><\/p>\n

As shown in the trailer, Neon can holster her weapons to allow herself to sprint at enemies. She can then finish off that sprint with a tactical slide while her gun is drawn.<\/p>\n

Concussive Grenade<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neon\u2019s next ability allows her to throw a grenade that can bounce off of up to two walls before hitting the ground. Once on the ground, the charge explodes in an area similar in size to KAY\/O\u2019s grenade, but instead of damage, the ability will concuss opponents.<\/p>\n

Firewalls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neon\u2019s final non-ultimate ability is essentially Phoenix\u2019s firewall ability, but two of them. Neon simultaneously throws up two firewalls on either side of herself that creates a sort of corridor for her and her teammates to walk through. It also doesn\u2019t appear that she can curve the firewalls like Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Lightning finger guns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neon\u2019s ultimate ability allows her to channel electricity into her fingertips and zap enemies with a beam of it. It appears that she can sprint and slide while using it and it seems to do a lot of damage to enemies, killing them in about a second of direct contact.<\/p>\n

When is Neon releasing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
