Upcoming Nerfs and Buffs in VALORANT

Players who tested the upcoming Episode 3 update ahead of its global release revealed some alarming changes coming to the game. Firstly, Jett's Cloudburst price has been increased from 100 to 200 credits. Also, she can no longer dash through Cypher's tripwires; bad news for Jett mains.

Talking about nerfs, devs increased Raze's Boombot price from 200 to 400 credits, and the Showstopper will now need 8 ult points instead of 7. Skye's Trailerblazer and Guiding Light ability price has also increased. Besides that, her flashes will regenerate after a gap of 40 seconds.

Sage's Slow Orb price has increased from 100 to 200 points, and like Raze, the healer agent will also need 8 ult points after the update. Cypher, on the other hand, will need 6 ult points instead of 7.

Coming to Breach, his Aftershock will now burst three times instead of one, each blast giving a damage of 60 HP. The price of Aftershock has also increased to 200 credits.
