Valorant revealed a new agent on Saturday and his name is Astra. However the Astra will not be fully available for in-game use until March 2.
Astra becomes the 15th agent in the game. Her backstory is that she is a Ghanaian space-based agent. A teaser of Valorant in the YouTube description states with Astra, “You can use Cosmos and control the fight.” In the video, Astra’s first words are, “You can tell a person’s character by their first action.” And then his first action is a sniper shot.
A more complete description of the Astra is below:
Astra prepares the cosmos’ energies to reorganize the battlefields in her affair. With full command of her subtle form and a talent for deep strategic foresight, she is always ahead of her enemy’s next step.
The Astra is a controller, meaning that it uses smoke, walls, and other abilities to help block the enemy’s sight.
We will go through the list of Astra’s full capabilities below.
Astra’s ability in Valorant
The Astra has four main abilities, and then its ultimate ability. Its four main abilities are Gravity Well, Nova Pulse, Nebula and Disipet. His ultimate potential is the subtle form / cosmic division.
We will go into more depth about those capabilities. (This is through information Valent leaks)
Gravity Well
Gravity Well will pull players within the area towards the center before it explodes. Any player trapped inside will become fragile.
Nova pulse
When the Nova pulse is placed, it will charge briefly before it explodes. When it stops, it will affect all players in the area.
Nebula
This is Astra’s signature ability, and it’s essentially just his smoke. You simply place a star, and then activate it to turn it into a nebula.
To destroy
When you disintegrate a star, it allows it to be placed in a new location.
Subtle form / cosmic division (final)
Activate to enter the Astral Form where you can keep the wires from the primary fire. The wires can later be reactivated, transforming them into a Nova Pulse, Nebula, or Gravity Well.
When charged with cosmic division, use the secondary fire in subtle form to target it, then the primary fire to select two locations. An infinite cosmic division connects the two points you choose. The cosmic divide blocks bullets and heavily dampens audio.
