Similar to Turret, Alarmbot can be recalled back to Killjoy from anywhere on the map to be placed again but it does have a 20-second cooldown before you can place it again. The Alarmbot can be detected if an enemy gets close enough to it and can be destroyed before it is triggered.įor reference, it takes one Classic shot to kill it while it’s invisible and Classic two shots to kill it when it’s moving. Killjoy can use this ability similar to how a Cypher uses his Trapwires, acting as a way to gain information in crucial areas like chokepoints and deter enemies from entering. This debuff lasts about four seconds so you either have to be nearby enough to peek for a kill or you can use Alarmbot to empower your Turret or Nanoswarm to get a kill from across the map. It doesn’t deal damage on its own but will grant a debuff that causes its target to temporarily receive double damage (comparable to Viper’s “Fragile” mechanic). When the mine is set off or destroyed, you’ll see a red visual alert on the map. Alarmbot (Q – 200 credits)Įquips and deploys an invisible bot that acts like a proximity mine, jumping to an enemy that comes within its range and explodes. Nanoswarm will have an indicator of its placement on its map but will not provide an alert if it is destroyed, it simply disappears. Unlike Alarmbot and Turret, it cannot be recalled so be sure to place it wisely. Similar to Alarmbot, Nanoswarm can be detected when an enemy is close to it and can be destroyed. The damage is inflicted over time like a powerful molly, it doesn’t provide a burst of damage upon exploding. It deals a high amount of damage and can kill enemies very quickly if they don’t leave its radius quickly. Killjoy’s Abilities Nanoswarm (C – 200 credits, up to 2 charges)Ī grenade that turns invisible and is remotely detonated like Cypher’s cages. Our takes are primarily first impressions before her launch but come back later and we’ll have a more fleshed out guide for you.

This guide will cover how Killjoy works as well as her overall strengths and weaknesses. This is because she has a wide range of gadgets that she can place all over the map to not only gain info, but also set up or get kills. Overall, she’s the third Sentinel agent and her playstyle is somewhat similar to Cypher + Raze. She officially went live at the beginning of Act II which began on August 4th, 2020.

Killjoy is the latest Valorant agent to be revealed and will be the 12th one added to the roster.
