🛠️ Agent Updates

Yoru

• Dimensional Drift (Ultimate):
  • Duration reduced from 12 seconds to 10 seconds.
  • Ultimate point cost increased from 7 to 8.
  These changes aim to balance Yoru’s powerful ultimate by reducing its duration and increasing its cost.

Astra

• Nova Pulse:
  • Stun duration decreased from 4 seconds to 3.5 seconds.
  This adjustment aligns Astra’s stun duration with other non-ultimate concuss abilities, addressing ability power creep.

Brimstone

• Incendiary:
  • Audio updated to be more audible, especially when placed under smokes.
  This enhancement improves gameplay clarity by making Brimstone’s molotov easier to detect.

🎶 Fifth Anniversary Audio Updates

To celebrate VALORANT’s fifth anniversary, Patch 10.08 reintroduces music from Episode 1, including themes for menus, character selection, and victory/defeat screens. These nostalgic tracks will be available in patches 10.08 and 10.09. ​Dot Esports+2VALORANT+2SI+2
