Valorant is considered one of the best fast passed FPS games that have ever been released. This tactical, objective-based shooter has gathered up quite a amount of follower since its release and its fanbase continues to grow. Valorant is considered a tactical shooter with the addition of different characters called agents that have unique abilities and because of that, every match feels unique. However, in order to keep the game fresh and exciting Riot Games needs to continue with the addition of new agents and constant updates. Yoru is the fourteenth addition to the agent list and it brings a new and interesting playstyle to the game.
Yoru Overview
Attention, attention all Valorant players! It's time to get your game on with Yoru, the Duelist Agent with moves so slick, you'll be gliding around the map like a figure skater on ice. After Riot Games gave Yoru a facelift in early 2022, he's now a hot pick for those who love to show off their top-notch movement, timing and mind games. And let's be real, who doesn't love some flashy plays to show off to their teammates?
While Yoru may be a bit more challenging to use than other Duelists, fear not, dear reader! With this guide, you'll have a better understanding of how Yoru works and how you can use him to dominate your ranked games. It's time to get your game face on and channel your inner Yoru, because it's about to get real!
Valorant Agent Yoru Abilities
Fakeout
So, Yoru has a pretty cool skill that mimics footsteps when activated. Officially known as "Fakeout", most people in the community refer to it as "Decoy". And let's face it, who wouldn't want to play mind games with their opponents and trick them into thinking you're somewhere you're not?
One of the best uses for this skill is to throw it out before entering the Spike Site. The sound of the decoy's footsteps can draw out your enemies, leaving them vulnerable to your team's attack. Plus, most players will instinctively try to kill the decoy, especially if they've already fallen for your other tricks.
Just remember, when someone on your team tells you to "use your Decoy", they're not talking about some kind of fancy perfume. So go forth and confuse your enemies with your mimicry skills!
Gate Crash
Let's talk about Yoru's Gatecrash ability! It's like having a wormhole gun, but instead of blasting through the fabric of space-time, you get to teleport around the map. One cool thing about this ability is that it comes with a free charge at the beginning of each round, making it an excellent tool for making big plays.
You can use Gatecrash in two ways: by teleporting normally or faking your teleport. So if you're feeling sneaky, you can place a tether in a spot, and then fake a teleport to throw off your enemies. Just make sure you don't fake yourself out in the process.
This ability is perfect for getting into the Spike Site or getting out of a tough spot. It's like having a secret escape route that only you and your team know about. And with Yoru's Gatecrash, you can bamboozle your enemies and come out on top!
Blindside
Welcome to the world of Yoru's flash! Official Ability Description: EQUIP to rip an unstable dimensional fragment from reality. FIRE to throw the fragment, activating a flash that winds up once it collides with a hard surface in the world. This flashbang can be a game-changer when used correctly. You can use it to get the drop on the enemy team by throwing it around corners or bouncing it off walls. But be careful, Yoru's flash needs to hit some kind of surface before it explodes, so make sure to aim carefully.
A pro-tip from us is to use it in combination with Yoru's Fakeout ability. Once the enemy team has been fooled by your clone, hit them with a double flashbang for maximum disorientation. Remember, the key to using Yoru's flash effectively is to catch the enemy team off-guard and take advantage of their confusion.
Dimensional Drift
Yoru's Dimensional Drift ability lets him enter a different dimension, making him invisible and invulnerable to enemy attacks. Think of it as Yoru putting on his Harry Potter invisibility cloak and sneaking past his opponents undetected. While in this alternate realm, Yoru can still use his other abilities to outsmart his enemies.
However, as with all good things, there's a catch. Yoru's footsteps are still audible to his enemies, so don't go stepping on any Legos. Also, if you get too close to an enemy, a blue aura appears around Yoru, which is a dead giveaway that he's nearby. So, be careful not to get too cozy with your opponents.
Pro tip: Yoru players are getting crafty with his Ultimate Ability by using it to double flashbang before escaping back to reality. So, if you see a blue aura and a blinding flash, don't say we didn't warn you.
Yoru's Playstyle
Yoru is the perfect example of a lurking agent with the ability to surprise the other team with his Gate Crash and teleport behind them for a deep flank whenever he needs it. He can also use his Gate Crash in one spot and get himself a fast escape route if his flanking goes wrong. Yoru can use his ultimate and rush one of the bomb sites and reveal the enemy team without being able to take damage and then quickly moving to the other bomb site to cause more problems for his opponents. He can distract the other team with his false footsteps and use his flash that is very difficult to avoid. All of these things make him one of the best agents for deep flanking whenever he is defending. But when he is attacking, he can also sneak behind and quickly kill without even being noticed. Not only that, but he can engage over a corner with his double flashes, and punish players with bad reaction time.
Tips & Tricks
SAFE TELEPORT SPOT
Hey there! Are you ready to master Yoru's Gatecrash ability? Let's dive in!
Yoru's Gatecrash is like a sneaky portal that you can use to teleport around the map. It's one of the most versatile abilities, but also one of the trickiest to use effectively.
To start, you'll want to find a safe spot to place your teleport, so it won't get destroyed by the enemy team. You don't want to teleport into the middle of the enemy team, only to find yourself in a world of hurt!
Secondly, you want to position your teleport in a way that allows you to quickly follow up with a flashbang. This may require some practice, as Yoru's teleports have quite a long range. But once you master this technique, you'll be a force to be reckoned with.
Remember, Gatecrash is arguably Yoru's most important ability. So, avoid randomly throwing teleports around the map. Instead, be strategic and use them to catch your enemies off guard.
So, get ready to teleport like a pro and show your enemies that they can't keep up with Yoru's dimensional shenanigans!
LINEUPS
Being a Yoru main isn't for the faint of heart, my friend. This agent requires some serious skills and game sense to pull off correctly. As the official ability description states, Gatecrash is your most important tool in your kit, so you better know your lineups for it. But, here's the thing - Yoru's strategies usually counter the metagame, so you won't find any universal lineups for his abilities.
Yes, you read that right. Yoru's abilities are so unique that you can't just copy and paste someone else's strategy. You'll need to spend some time figuring out how to use his abilities in ways that your opponents won't expect. Sounds tough, right? That's because it is. But fear not, for there's always a way to outplay your enemies with Yoru's kit.
My advice? Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and watch pro players to learn new strategies. And don't forget to spend your free time thinking about how you can counter the most popular tactics with your kit. With some hard work and dedication, you'll be a Yoru master in no time.
CAMPING
Well, well, well, looks like we've reached the end of our Yoru guide! And we're finishing off with a bang, so listen up!
When you're in Yoru's Dimensional Drift, you're like a ninja sneaking up on your enemies. They won't even know what hit them! So, what's the best way to use this ability to get kills? Well, just hide in a corner and wait for your prey to come to you. When you hear their footsteps, activate your Dimensional Drift and swoop in for the kill! If you manage to get at least two kills, you've done your job, even if you die immediately after.
But let's not forget, Yoru is no easy Agent to play. If you want to climb the ranks with him, you're going to have to put in some extra effort. That means practicing your lineups and outplays, keeping up with the latest trends, and thinking outside the box to come up with new strategies.
So, if you're up for the challenge, Yoru can be a great pick on maps like Pearl or Icebox. But remember, dedication is key. Without it, you'll just be spinning your wheels. Good luck out there, Agent!
