A Ghanaian controller representative with a unique playstyle and skill, whose aesthetic is inspired by Afrofuturism, Astra brings a kit and perspective to the game that feels completely different from anything currently available.

Game designer Jordan Anton said in a press release: " With Astra, we wanted to make a controller that thinks about the whole map. Its global presence was there from the start. We wanted the skill statement to be about gathering information and turning it into a plan, where the implementation phase is just right. It's more about aiming to throw a grenade than it's about seeing if your reading of the enemy comes together as you'd hoped. "

Valorant New Agent Astra's Skill Set

Valorant's new agent Astra 's abilities work differently than most other agents, with the exception of Omen's fumes. On the purchase screen, the agent can purchase nodes; By pressing the x/ult button , Astra enters an interface where it hovers over the map to place nodes. During gameplay, these nodes can be withdrawn by the agent (with a cooldown before redeploying) or triggered to perform one of the following abilities:

♦ C – GRAVITY WELL

Activate a Star to create a Gravity Well. Players in the area are drawn towards the center before it explodes and apply the vulnerable status effect when it explodes.

♦ Q - NOVA PULSE

Activate a Star to detonate a Nova Pulse. Nova Pulse charges for a short time and then shakes and attacks all players in the area.

♦ E - CLOUD

This is a smoke ability. These fumes function similarly to Omens - unlike Brimstone for example - the fumes themselves are hollow.

♦ F - DISTRIBUTE

Use (F) on the Star to disperse, after a delay bring the Star back to place it in a new location. Dispersion briefly creates a false Nebula at the Star's location before returning.

♦ X - ASTRAL FORM / COSMIC DIVERSE

Activate to enter Astral Form where you can place Stars with Primary Fire. Stars can then be reactivated, transforming them into Nova Pulses, Nebulas or Gravity Wells. Once the Cosmic Split is loaded, use Secondary Fire in Astral Form to start aiming at it, then use Primary Fire to select two locations. An Infinity Cosmic Split connects the two points you choose. Cosmic Divide blocks projectiles and greatly reduces sound.
