Riot Games brings out a cunning new character Appreciation tonight. Her name is Yoru, and apart from being invisible, she can fake the sound of teammates’ footsteps and teleport to meet everyone. It sounded like a lot of fun playing against him and a lot less fun playing against him. It comes with the second episode of the Tactical Rifleman along with a new combat pass and a number of balance improvements for agents like Omen and Brimstone.
But first a cool new agency. You can see its capabilities in the animation above. they all seem to revolve around conquering and deceiving your enemies. His first skill, Fakeout, triggers several ghost steps that mimic the voice of you or your teammate’s trudging. Next up is Gatecrash, a teleportation skill that allows Yoru to place small gaps that he can return to (much like the translator Sombra in Overwatch).
Then he has a flash of lightning called blindside which releases a small ball of energy which, upon hitting the surface, explodes and blinds nearby enemies. His ultimate ability, Dimensional Drift, makes him invisible and invulnerable for a limited time.
Episode 2 Act 1 also features a new battle pass full of gorgeous costumes, one of which is modeled on by Yoru in this image.

In Episode 2, Act 1, some changes were made to Omen and Brimstone. The big change for Brim is the increase in the duration of smoking, which is now 19.25 seconds from 14.25 seconds. Her Molotov is now cheaper on the purchase screen and her Stim Beacon no longer has equipment time.
However, Paranoia Omen’s ability increased in price from 200 to 400, while the projectile speed of his smoker has been greatly reduced from 4000 to 2800. As an omen player: what the hell, riot. That’s so weird, what a bad sign did to you?
There are also a few updates to Valorant’s competitive game mode, as well as a number of bug fixes for you to check out. sticky note right here.
According to the in-game timer Valorant, the current action and episode will end at around 4am GMT tonight (8pm PT). So stay tuned for the episode 2 update to land.
Elsewhere in Valorant news, Riot teamed up with Destiny 2 developer Bungie last week filed suit against annoying scammers Who sells hacks for their games.
