The latest Valorant patch is here, bringing with it a number of changes, including the new character Fade.
Earlier this week Riot Games unveiled Fade, the next character joining Valorant in patch 4.08, available now. Riot has now also released the patch notes for this newest update, which nerfs Jett’s dash ability, as revealed last week. Jett isn’t the only character to receive changes in this update though.
Neon has received some quality of life changes, where now, once she kills an enemy, the battery energy she receives has been increased to 100 per cent, up from 25 per cent. Riot noted in the patch notes that Neon has “faced some friction when using movement to lead into combat,” so have made some changes like the velocity restriction being removed, and being able to slide sideways and forward, with the only requirement being that she is moving.
And Sova has received a big number of changes too. For this update, Riot “wanted to focus on addressing the amount of space that the Owl Drone practically guaranteed, and introduce additional counter play opportunities for opponents.”
