The Ares has a large, 50-round magazine and is great at wall penetration. At its price point it can be a viable alternative to a rifle, although it causes slightly less damage.

Sky Smoke is an ability that allows Brimstone to call up to three smoke clouds onto the battlefield. This ability provides incredibly cover by preventing enemies from seeing through the thick smoke cloud, allowing for players to escape their line of sight. Sky Smoke is one of the most oppressive abilities in the SLG game Online guide if used correc


Brimstone's Sky Smoke is, arguably, his best ability. Sky Smoke not only provides exceptional cover by limiting an enemy's line of sight, but it can also be used to hide the Spike's location. Due to Brimstone's ability to possess three Sky Smokes during a period of time, a player can use them more liberally than other smoke screen style characters. Brimstone players can use the Sky Smoke to cover an area's main choke-points or entrances, preventing enemies from being able to pick off your teammates. Or as mentioned, it can be used to hide the spike's location, preventing the enemy team from being able to disarm the weapon. Is used correctly, Brimstone's Sky Smoke can be the biggest factor in his team winning a ma

Incendiary Grenade is a great example of Brimstone's excellent Area Denial skill-set. When tossed in the right spot, it can prevent your enemies from launching a successful offense. Tossing the grenade at an enemy's location can buy enough time for your team to establish better cover, positional advantage, or simply allow for some easy kills. Using the Incendiary Grenade effectively means that the enemy will be unable to launch a successful offense, as you are always harassing them with this powerful gad


Phoenix - A zone control character who manipulates flame. He can throw fireballs that explode in an area or create a wall of damaging flames. His signature move is a curving flash grenade, and his ultimate lets him mark his location and teleport back there on de


Stim Beacon's use is fairly limited, its only real use is to turn the tide of battle in an intense fight. So tossing it at a highly populate area of cover and allowing your teammates to unleash a barrage of powered up bullets will turn the tide in a fight. Be sure to be wise when using Stim Beacon, as its primary use is to save your teammates during combat encount


Blaze is a literal fire wall that can be curved by the player while it is being cast. It heals Phoenix players that stand in it, while also damaging enemies. Due to it being a wall of fire, it can also obscure enemy visibil


Raze, the explosives expert has a slew of damage-dealing abilities at her disposal. She has a purchasable robot, commonly referred to as a roomba, that scouts out players and explodes when it gets close to an enemy. She also has a throwable C-4 that can push back enemies and launch the player forward.

It has been a running joke that Riot Games has not really earned the "Games" part of its title, since it only had the one massively successful MOBA in League of Legends . These days the company's ambition seems to be to move away from being a one horse house and expanding into new projects, including the new FPS game formerly known as Project A , now officially called Valor


This automatic pistol has a high rate of fire and can be used to spray enemies in tight spaces. It deals low damage per shot, but the rapid-fire capability means you can empty the 12-round magazine in just over a sec


Riot Games has made it explicitly clear that the game focuses heavily on gunplay more than it does the use of abilities. This means that the player with the better aim will win fights more than a player with better abilities. This is unlike Overwatch as the use of abilities is heavily encouraged. However, team composition is still key to winning rounds and having a team pick the right characters can be what determines a loss from a win. Here is how a team can make the best team composition in Valora
