This is a vital ability to utilize during close-range combat. Also read the Valorant Complete Brimstone Abyss guide.


Efficient use of Orbital Strike

Brimstone’s Ultimate- the Orbital Strike, launches a strike laser that inflicts major damage to the enemies within the strike zone. This ultimate ability is crucial for post-plant scenarios that decide the game’s outcome while attacking. In defense, use the Orbital Strike to stop a spike plant or two to take out multiple enemies in one go as they will have less time to react and change their approach.
