And since enemies can see (but not shoot!) the stars you place, you’ll have to properly manage the mechanic throughout the round.Įspecially talented Astras can fake out teams by placing stars on one site to bait the opponents, only to pull them off and switch sides. The ability gives you a great vantage point for placing stars in ideal locations, but you obviously can’t see the enemy team and it leaves your body vulnerable. Going in and out of Astral Form can be tricky.
It’s by efficiently using stars that you’ll be able to separate the mediocre Astras from the elite ones. Enemy team pushing mid? Suck them into your Gravity Well and spray them down.
See a straggler hiding back of site? Concuss them and charge. The controller can transform her stars into one of three things: a smoke, an AoE concussion, or a Gravity Well that sucks enemies to its center, similar to Zarya’s ultimate from Overwatch.

And while she may have a relatively steep learning curve, her potential is out of this world. Dot Esports was invited to test the agent out at an Act II capture event, previewing Astra’s galactic kit. The Ghanaian channels the power of the cosmos to assert map-scale dominance, slinging stars that explode, concuss, and transform into smokes. VALORANT’s been aching for a new agent to spice up the controller class, and Astra’s “ galaxy brain” gameplay may do just that.
