Valoran t's latest patch announced to players that nerfs have been applied to multiple agents, including Cypher.
Valorant , Riot Games ' tactical first-person shooter , gives players the option to choose from a variety of agents, each coming with a unique set of abilities and vehicles.
The 1.11 patch update in Valorant brought a huge weakening to multiple characters in the scout category, and Riot Games ' official statement stated:
"While playing Scout, we want to increase the depth of stability while also offering more counterplay to "trap" enemies.
To reduce the overall potential impact of these abilities, autonomous traps are now disabled when the agent dies. Scout players should play more carefully against traps as they increase the reward for knocking out another Sentinel player. "
In a game like Valorant , where maintaining the in-game economy is a key factor , weakening Cypher means that the agent must reinvest in those at the beginning of the next round, even though it doesn't trigger pre-set traps. With these changes coming to Valorant , it remains to be seen how Cypher performs in the hands of a professional player. However, what seems certain is that your weakness will greatly affect the dominance Cypher mains have when defending spike sites.
