Sage Valorant Character Abilities
Healing orb: Got hit by enemies and got a lot of damage in the game, don’t worry sage will help you. Sage has the ability to heal herself and her teammates using her primary ability, the healing orb.

The ability can be self-used by pressing the alternate key. This will make sage heal herself gradually while in-game. Sage was the only agent who could heal her teammates before the arrival of Skye. Find cover before healing yourself or teammates since it takes time for the health to regenerate after activating the ability.
Slow orb: The next basic ability of sage is the slow orb. If the enemies get caught in the slow orb, they become significantly slower than their normal speed. This makes them an easy target to takedown. To use the ability, press the ability key to equip a slow orb. Now aim using the crosshair and throw the orb. The orb will burst when it gets in contact with the ground and create an area in which enemies become slower. Use these orbs on corners and take in enemies that get stuck there.

Use the cross-hair to position the orb correctly and press the fire key to plant the barrier. The barrier is so thick that it requires a lot of bullets to break it. Plant this barrier in the entrance of the territory to block enemies. The barrier can also be planted if you see your enemy needs some cover while shooting.
Resurrection: The ultimate ability of sage can bring a dead team back to life. When the ultimate ability is charged, sage can approach the dead body of an agent while in-game and revive it. While near the enemy, activate the ultimate. Focus on the teammate to be revived and press the fire button to bring him back to life.

To use this ability, aim the cross-hair to the required spot and press the ability key. Cypher will throw a circular disc into the ground.

If the enemy player crosses the trap wire, the Trapwire gets activated. The enemy will get a few second windows to destroy it. If not destroyed, it will reveal the position of the enemy, make him blind and restrict his movements. The Trapwire can also be called back if not activated.
Neural theft: Cypher has the ability to find the enemy teammates by analyzing the dead body of a fallen enemy. When the ultimate is fully charged, find an enemy corpse on the battlefield. Cypher scans the dead body using his hat and reveals the location of the remaining agents. This ability is highly useful to find enemy teammates that are rotating or camping.
3. Killjoy
The engineer in Valorant is based in Germany. She comes with lots of gadgets that make her a one-man army. If killjoy fortifies a location, you have to struggle a lot to get in.

Even after setting the turret, it can be called back and redeployed by killjoy. The bullets from turrets can significantly damage the enemy’s health.
Alarm Bot: The alarm bot can be set in any location by killjoy. It sits idle until an enemy player reaches its range. It detects the enemy player and makes him vulnerable.

The enemies have to either get out of the range of the device or destroy the device to prevent it from getting detained. If not, all the enemy teammates will get stuck and become easy targets.
