Raze is one of Valorant agents, Riot Games' FPS. This specialist in explosive charges — and anything that can explode — has a very large kit of abilities for inflicting damage. She will be on the front line to play duels and that will be her role. If she lacks control compared to Phoenix or mobility compared to Jett, she will compensate with a very high firing thanks to an explosive robot, two explosive packs and two grenades. Raze is more likely to take the whole thing down.
Abilities

Equip a rocket launcher. Fire shoots a rocket that does massive area damage on contact with anything.
Gameplay Overview
Raze is a duellist. She's here to play some lines and do the first kills before launching the big offense. Raze will prove all her power mainly in attack or on retaking sites since her abilities are designed to retake lines than to keep them. Thanks to five different explosives on three skills and her ultimate which isn't to be outdone, Raze can really rain an impressive amount of explosions on a particular location without exposing herself much.
Her packs, grenades and robots have significant firing, and to get the most out of Raze, you'll need to use them wisely to eliminate opponents or weaken defences. Moving from line to line with Raze will be very noisy but very effective as each explosion that can check a line will inflict very heavy damage.
The long-awaited day has arrived for FPS fans: the Valorant closed beta is finally available to all the lucky ones who managed to get a key.
