Valorant Character/ Agent Info and changes

Neon’s Backstory

The theme that drives neon and its development are “Fast and Frenetic “. Ryan also added that “You can see that she has a quick cast than not a lot of agents have“.

The devs face some difficulty while creating audio queues for her ability and her ultimate damage sound. And to clear this they use authentic Philippine sounds from their traditional music. They joking just slammed two bamboo sticks together which created a unique sound for them to use.

Upcoming Agent Changes for Episode 4 Act 1

The devs didn’t want to give away the changes. However, we did get to know that we will be looking at changes on almost half of the roster. Which is almost close to 8-10 agents.

Moreover, these will not be some massive changes, but some small changes. Which will help balance the agents more. As they don’t want to have only 3-4 agents who are played the most and the rest are left alone.
