Valorant New Agent Iso Abilities

E Ability - Double Tap

At the core of Iso's abilities is the "Double Tap" (E). With this skill, Iso activates a focus timer, allowing him to collect energy orbs from enemies he downs or damages. Once harvested, these orbs can be shot to provide Iso with a shield, capable of absorbing one instance of damage from any source. This ability rewards precision and careful timing, making Iso a force to be reckoned with for players who excel in gunplay.

Q Ability - Undercut

Iso's "Undercut" (Q) ability adds a layer of tactical depth. He can throw a molecular bolt that not only passes through walls and solid objects but also applies a "FRAGILE" status to any enemy it touches. This skill is perfect for catching opponents who think they're safely hidden behind cover, offering a strategic advantage to the team.

C Ability - Contingency

For those looking to enhance the team's defenses, Iso's "Contingency" (C) is the solution. This ability enables him to create an indestructible wall of prismatic energy, effectively blocking enemy bullets. It's a game-changing defensive tool that can be the key to holding down crucial chokepoints or protecting allies in high-pressure situations.

Ultimate Ability - Kill Contract

Iso's ultimate ability, "Kill Contract" (X), adds a unique twist to his arsenal. He can throw a column of energy, which teleports both him and the first enemy hit into a 1v1 arena. In this showdown, the victor emerges victorious, while the loser meets their demise. It's an ability that can turn the tide of a match by isolating and eliminating key opponents.

Iso's character design was guided by the concept of a "Juggernaut." The game designers aimed to create an agent distinct from the mobility and healing-focused agents we've seen before. Iso's strength lies in his ability to absorb damage and plow through enemy lines without relying on mobility or healing skills. This design choice promises to make him a formidable agent in the hands of skilled players.
