Riot Fully Reveals Upcoming Valorant Initiator, Fade


Riot Games have finally lifted the veil on Valorant's 19th playable agent, the scary new initiator of Turkish descent, Fade.
Revealing the agent through a cinematic trailer, Riot later gave fans a complete look at the agent in action with a full gameplay reveal video.

Fade abilities revealed

(E) Haunt: FIRE to throw a projective that plummets to the ground after a set amount of time. Upon hitting the ground, the orb reveals the location of all enemies caught in its line of sight. The orb is vulnerable, and enemies can destroy this entity. RE-USE the ability to drop the projectile early in-flight. This ability is similar to Reyna's basic ability, Leer.

(Q) Seize: Fade equips an orb that plummets to the ground after a set duration. The ink explodes upon hitting the ground, creating a zone in which enemies caught in it cannot escape the zone by normal means. RE-USE the ability to drop the projectile early in-flight

(C) Prowler: Prowler is Fade's debuff ability. Fade equips a creature called a Prowler. Pressing Fire sends the creature to travel in a straight line. The prowler will lock onto any enemies or trails in their frontal vision cone, nearsighting them on contact. Players can steer the creature in the desired direction by holding Fire.

Ultimate – Nightfall: Fade sends a wave of nightmare energy that can traverse through walls. The energy creates a trail to the opponent, revealing their location while deafening them.

When will Riot release Fade on live servers?

After teasing the Turkish initiator in various ways, Riot will finally allow players to experience Fade on live servers at the start of Episode 4, Act 3. Act 3 begins on Tuesday, April 26.
