ISO's all abilities in Valorant

As per the latest trailer, ISO possesses quite a unique and game-changing set of abilities. He is the only Agent in Valorant who can seemingly hold a 1v1 battle in the match, which definitely spikes up the skill level required to play the Agent.

A brief description of all of ISO's abilities is given below:

  • Consistency (C): Players can equip this ability to assemble a series of prismatic energy. Firing upon it will push an indestructible wall of energy that can block incoming bullets.
  • Undercut (Q): ISO will equip a molecular bolt that can be thrown forward. Any player impaled with the bolt will have a status effect of Vulnerability applied to them. Furthermore, the bolt can pass through any object, wall, or surface in the game.
  • Double Tap (E): ISO will start a focus timer, upon the completion of which, the Agent will enter into a flow state during which damaging or killing enemies will generate energy orbs. Shooting this orb will grant players a layer of shield that can absorb one instance of damage from any incoming source.
  • Kill Contract (X): ISO can host an interdimensional arena amidst the battlefield. Firing with the ultimate will release a pulse of energy, and the first enemy to hit will be part of this 1v1 arena. Both persons must duel to death. The last man standing survives.
