Episode 7 Act 3 of Valorant releases on the 31st of October, and along with the new battle pass, it also brings a whole new Agent for gamers to play.
Iso is a gun for hire who is rumoured to be a bulletproof wizard, and by digging through his abilities, we can see that the rumours are almost true.
E – Double Tap
Activate your focus timer. When it’s run out, Iso can harvest energy orbs from enemies he downs or damages. Once these orbs are shot, Iso will receive a shield that absorbs one instance of damage from any source.
Q – Undercut
Throw a molecular bolt that can pass through walls and other solid objects to catch enemies behind obstacles. When the bolt touches a player, the FRAGILE status will be applied to them.
C – Contingency
Iso will assemble prismatic energy that can be fired as an indestructible wall of energy that blocks bullets.
X – Kill Contract
Throw a column of energy, which will teleport him and the first enemy hit by his ultimate into a 1v1 arena. The winner leaves the arena, and the loser dies.
Iso’s abilities point towards a juggernaut-type player with a versatile set of defensive abilities that can push an opposing team back or create space for your team to push forward.
Here’s around 10 minutes of gameplay showing off the abilities in action to help give you a better understanding of how Iso can be played in-game.
As always, when a new agent/champion/hero is released in-game, a lot of the Valorant community is concerned about Iso being overpowered, however, his kit gives the game a fresh take and will force players to re-think how maps and sites are played.
With the Carry1st VALZA Cup kicking off just days before Iso is released, it will be interesting to see if he’s allowed to be played.
