You don't play in Attack as you play in Defense. Here are the basics of these two opposite and complementary roles in Valorant in our guide.

Knowing how to play Valorant is also knowing how to manage your economy. It is perhaps not the most interesting point, but it is not less important!

Controlling all sounds of Varlorant will allow you to get the upper hand over your opponents. Actually, sounds are real precious allies.

The Spike is at the very heart of Valorant. We often talk about the Agents, their skills and weapons, but we tend to forget about this explosive device around which every round revolves. We tell you everything there is to know about the Spike, its timing and its use.

The developers of Valorant may be in charge of a purely competitive game, but that didn't stop them from slipping a tribute to Counter-Strike custom-maps into the training mode. Indeed, what might appear to be a simple surreal setting with randomly placed floating elements in the air turns out to be a real obstacle course.

You haven't been able to get your access to the Valorant beta yet and you're afraid of falling behind the other players? Don't panic, there are many ways to train, even without having the game. Nothing beats a real game, of course, but here we explain how to prepare yourself efficiently and be operational as soon as your access is validated!

The players of Valorant are gradually appropriating the Agents and their skills, and new strategies are beginning to emerge. One of them is likely to become a must: the One-Way.

Valorant is a competitive shooting game. Like all FPS, it requires a little learning and then a lot of training and rigour to reach the highest level. Although the game is recent, it is very easy to identify the essential techniques and the different ways to train given its proximity to Counter-Strike and other titles of the genre.

This is the goal of all players: to be fast and accurate. Although aiming is a must in Valorant or other FPS, most players tend to overestimate its importance. Before embarking on this guide we invite you to read our articles on crosshair placement and how to move correctly.

The Agents of Valorant are, of course, the first things to unlock in Riot Games' FPS. Without them, your gameplay strategies are bound to be more limited. Only 5 of them are playable when you first launch the game (Breach, Jett, Phoenix, Sage and Sova). The others must be unlocked in two different ways.

Before you dive into Valorant, or other FPS's such as CS:GO, finding the right sensitivity is crucial. A lifelong quest for some players who tweak their settings over and over again and often get their reflexes wrong. Here we will show you how to find the best possible sensitivity once and for all!

When you are looking to improve in a shooting game, you automatically think of aim. And while aim is important, it is not the only criteria. It is impossible to perform well in Valorant and most FPS's without good crosshair placement.
