The latest Valorant agent, Fade is a hunter who’s in touch with some deadly-looking shadows.
Her name is Fade, and it seems like her abilities allow her to reveal her enemies’ locations. She was revealed on Sunday during the finals of Valorant’s Masters Reykjavik tournament. Fade is coming to the game as part of Episode 4 Act 3, which should be released next week. The reveal trailer can be viewed below.
Fades abilities focus on finding enemy players and either blinding them or keeping them in place once she does. One of her skills is a ball of shadows that allows her to near-sight players, while another creates a small circle on the ground that will keep them tethered if they get too close. Fade also has a recon ability that will spot players and draw to their location, while her Ultimate does a similar thing across a large section of the map.

As for what her abilities are specifically, Haunt equips a nightmarish entity that fires an orb that plummets to the ground after a set amount of time.

Lastly, Nightfall, equips the power of fear. Fire the ability to send out a wave of nightmare energy that can traverse through walls. The energy creates a trail opponent that defeans and decays other players.
