Valorant: Meet Your New Agent, Tejo

“This ought to be easy sufficient. I flush them out. You end them.” This assertion from Tejo completely encompasses our latest Initiator-class Agent, the well-dressed man of motion.

Hailing from Colombia, Tejo will undoubtedly shake up the gameplay along with his distinctive package that flushes out enemies utilizing a top-down strategy. Tejo would require you to suppose proactively and strategically–analyzing the state of affairs mid-round and utilizing his skills to assist clear the way in which to your group.

Tejo’s skills, which revolve round flushing out enemies, consist of three outputs: info gathering, injury, and concuss results:

• Stealth Drone: Throw and possess a stealthed drone that, upon activation, creates a small sonar pulse at its location.
• Guided Salvo: Pull up a map to focus on a number of missiles in direction of a location. Upon reaching their location, the missiles explode twice, pushing enemies off of angles.
• Particular Supply: Toss a grenade that bounces as soon as (sticks to gamers instantly), sticks, then winds up and explodes. Explosion concusses.
• Armageddon: Solid a wave of explosions, forcing enemies to maneuver within the course of your selecting.

The proper teammates for Tejo will likely be those that can shortly comply with up on the house he creates. Let’s take a more in-depth take a look at how that’s executed.

Stealth Drone

Whether or not your group is attacking and trying to take a website or defending and taking part in retake, having a drone might be extraordinarily impactful. Particularly on maps the place there are a whole lot of corners to clear, it permits your group to take house safely or be ready to combat for that house. Since drones are nice items of utility, the enemy group is commonly ready to shoot down no matter you’re utilizing to take house. Tejo’s Stealth Drone is exclusive in that it’s invisible at lengthy vary, supplying you with extra time to seize details about the place the enemy group may very well be.

“Drones usually give a whole lot of baseline worth of knowledge gathering, however we wished to provide this drone a bit of spin the place the data is secondary, and the impact of suppressing an enemy is why you’re taking this drone over others,” Recreation Designer Ryan Cousart tells us.

Guided Salvo

Once we requested the devs, “Why rockets?”, Cousart smiles and says, “As a result of rockets are candy.”

Along with rockets being candy, they made sense thematically for what the devs had been making an attempt to perform.

“If you begin placing issues like a map targeter or world placements on Brokers, you drive individuals to consider the sport extra proactively and extra strategically. We wished one thing to steer your group in and present you the impact of telling your group, ‘Hey one thing goes to occur.’ We might’ve used something however we landed on rockets for these causes,” Cousart provides.

Tejo’s skills, which revolve round flushing out enemies, consist of three outputs: info gathering, injury, and concuss results. “There’s so much to think about and watch out about when deciding the output of a capability. Harm as an output is much more everlasting than a concuss or a flash. It’s worthwhile to discover although and I feel we’ve landed in a reasonably great spot however that’s one we’ll have to maintain a very sharp eye,” states Cousart.

Particular Supply

“With how naturally ‘weapons down’ his different skills are, Tejo actually wanted one thing that was simply easy to know and easy to forged however nonetheless captured that feeling of being explosive however directed. I wished Particular Supply to be a fast, like, ‘Let’s combat’ button”, states Cousart.

In contrast to the opposite skills the place Tejo wants time to arrange the play, Particular Supply permits him to provoke a combat shortly within the second. Whether or not or not an enemy is there for the concuss, utilizing the flexibility there’ll give them the arrogance they should take that house. One factor is for sure – even when gamers can use the flexibility shortly, we gained’t be shocked when gamers are making fancy lineups to get that excellent angle to land on that excellent circle.

Armageddon

“Tejo’s rockets are actually solely worthwhile for those who’re following up on the strain that’s created. However the candy spot is once you hearth your rockets and also you drive individuals to maneuver after which whereas they’re shifting, you’re in a position to capitalize on them having to reposition. Tejo could be nice with one other Agent that may go in very quick, like Neon, who can capitalize on the gap he casts his skills from,” notes Character Producer, John Goscicki.

Tejo’s ult, Armageddon, is one thing enemies will want to pay attention to round-to-round. Watch that scoreboard and test what number of ult factors he’s away from having the ability to use it, since it may possibly closely influence the circulation of a spherical. The wave of explosions will drive enemies to maneuver in a course of Tejo’s selecting or not less than have gamers shifting additional again, because the website will likely be tough to carry. This can give his group the right alternative to comply with up and take management of the house he simply created.
