VALORANT‘s newest agent “Astra” is set to release in next week’s Act 2 update. Riot unveiled this new agent with a video on the official VALORANT Twitter earlier today.
Astra – Kit Breakdown
Astra’s abilities are all about stars. These stars are small projectiles that can be thrown around the map which can be used to activate her different abilities. You could say this next agent is out of this world…
Q — Gravity Well
Place Stars in Astral Form (X)
Activate a Star to form a Gravity Well. Players in the area are pulled towards the centre before exploding, making all players still trapped inside – Fragile
Riot Games
Q — NOVA PULSE
Place Stars in Astral Form (X)
Activate a Star to detonate a Nova Pulse. The Nova Pulse charges briefly then strikes, concussing all players in its area.
Riot Games
E — NEBULA
Place Stars in Astral Form (X)

Riot Games
F — DISSIPATE
Use (F) on an already existing Star to Dissipate it, returning the Star to be placed in a new location after a Delay. Dissipate briefly forms a fake Nebula at the Star’s already existing location before returning.

X — ASTRAL FORM/COSMIC DIVIDE
Activate to enter Astral Form. A stance in which you can place Stars with Primary Fire.
Stars can be reactivated later, transforming them into Nova Pulses, Nebulas, or Gravity Wells. When Cosmic Divide is charged, use Secondary Fire in Astral Form to begin aiming it, then switch into Primary Fire to select two locations. An Infinity Cosmic Divide connects the two points you’ve selected. Cosmic Divide blocks bullets and heavily dampens audio in the area.
