Astra skillset revealed

Astra, which will also offer a wide range of tactics to Valorant players, can use the energy of the cosmos to change the battlefield in favour. As the 15th agent of the game, she is always a few light years ahead of the enemy’s next move also with full control over his Astral journey and vast strategic foresight. The power source of the new agent, whose homeland is Ghana, is Radiant.

Designer Jordan “Riot Wrekz” Anton commented on the development process of the agent: “We wanted to bring Astra a Control Specialist with the whole map in mind. We’ve done a lot of fine touches to anticipate the movements of enemies and identify the right abilities to balance the situation and react to the ever-changing course of the game. Also, the bird’s-eye view pushes the player to different directions and strategies in which the tour can go.”

Astra will be available on March 2 with the start of Valorant Episode 2, Act 2. Until then, here’s a full list of her abilities:

Ability Set

C — GRAVITY WELL

Place Stars in Astral Form (X)

As Astra, activate a Star to form a Gravity Well. Players in the area are pulled toward the centre before it explodes, making all players still trapped inside Fragile.

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.

E — NEBULA

Place Stars in Astral Form (X)

Activate a Star to transform it into a Nebula (smoke).

F — DISSIPATE

Use (F) on a 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 location before returning.

X — ASTRAL FORM/COSMIC DIVIDE

Activate as Astra to enter Astral Form where 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 Primary Fire to select two locations. Also an Infinity Cosmic Divide connects the two points you select. Cosmic Divide blocks bullets and heavily dampens audio.
