Valorant’s vibrant and ever-evolving gaming environment has witnessed yet another intriguing development. Iso, the latest agent to join Valorant’s roster, came with many expectations. Months of teasing from the developers had the community on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the introduction of this agent and his unique skill set.
While each of his abilities brought something new, the “Kill Contract” ultimately became the centerpiece of discussions in gaming forums and social media platforms. This ability is more than just an average skill – it thrusts players into an isolated realm where they must duel with Iso to death. Only one player emerges victorious, while the other faces elimination.
Counter to Iso’s Ultimate in Valorant
But with every new gameplay element, there’s always a loophole waiting to be discovered. Valorant streamer Rem highlighted a fascinating counter to Iso’s powerful ultimate through his gameplay and keen observation.
During a game session, Rem, while controlling Iso, activated the Kill Contract ultimate. To his surprise, instead of trapping a real player, it captured a clone of Yoru. This meant that the dreaded duel to the death was a fleeting interaction with a decoy that soon dissipated, rendering Iso’s ultimate effectively pointless for that round.
In exploring this discovery further, we found that the algorithm behind Iso’s ultimate selects the nearest entity, whether it’s a real player or a clone. This insight allows Yoru players to strategically deploy their clones, nullifying Iso’s ultimate and potentially misleading the user.
Moreover, this counter strategy is common to Iso. Deadlock’s ultimate also falls prey to Yoru’s deceptive clone, further cementing Yoru’s place as a vital asset in any team composition.
The game dynamics shift as Valorant continues to introduce new agents and abilities. However, one thing remains constant: the community’s relentless pursuit of mastering and understanding every game nuance. The discovery by Rem underscores this sentiment and promises an even more exciting competitive landscape for Valorant enthusiasts.
