VALORANT: How to play the shadow knight Omen

VALORANT offers a wide selection of agents that players can learn and perfect in highly competitive matches. One of the most dangerous agents is Omen, who can play on the edge, surprise, and use his gambling skills.

Omen has several ways to prepare his team for fights. Some of these tactics, such as his Dark Cover or Paranoia ability (which temporarily blinds enemies), can make any conflict easier; on the other hand, his different skills are more complicated.

Both his Ultimate and Shadow Walk allow him to teleport, ready to spring into action, but they require a certain level of precision.

Omen’s abilities in VALORANT

Omen is an agent (or character) who has the following abilities:

Smoke Grenade.

Omen’s primary ability allows him to throw a smoke grenade, which creates a thick cloud of smoke that obscures enemies’ vision.

Dark Cover

Omen’s secondary ability allows him to create a smaller but more concentrated cloud of smoke.

Paranoia

Omen’s signature ability is a projectile that fires in a straight line. If it hits a wall, it will create a wall of shadows that obscures vision.

From the shadows (ultimate):

Omen’s ultimate ability allows him to teleport a short distance and become invisible for a short period.

Each of these abilities has a reuse time after use. Omen’s capabilities can be used together effectively to hide his movements and create confusion among the enemy team, making him a formidable agent in the game.

How Omen fumes work in VALORANT

Omen’s ultimate ability is called “From the Shadows” (also known as “Smoke”). When activated, Omen becomes invisible to enemies and can teleport to a location within a specific range. This allows Agüero to quickly reposition himself and surprise the enemy team with unexpected flanks or attacks.

When Omen uses “From the Shadows,” he becomes invisible quickly and can move undetected. While invisible, Omen cannot shoot or interact with the environment, but enemies can damage and kill him. If he takes damage while invisible, Omen will become visible again.

Teleportation is not instantaneous. Omen has to wait a couple of seconds until teleporting occurs, and, in addition, a marker will appear on the minimap where Omen is going to teleport, alerting his opponents.

“From the shadows” can quickly rotate around the map and take the enemy team by surprise, as well as escape from dangerous situations.

How do I use Omen smokes?

To use Omen’s smoke skills in the VALORANT game, you will need to do the following:

Bind the ability

Before using Omen’s smoke skills, you must bind them to a specific button on your keyboard or mouse. Next, attach the Smoke Grenade and Dark Deck skills to buttons you can easily access and press quickly during a game.

Use the skill

Once you have linked the skill, you can use it by pressing the corresponding button. When you press the button, Omen will throw the smoke grenade or create a dark cover in the direction you are facing. Note that the smoke takes a short time to deploy, so you should anticipate where you want the smoke to be before throwing it.

Choose the right place

Think about what you want to achieve with the smoke: block vision, cut through the open area, or protect a target. Then, try to choose an excellent place to throw the smoke.

Coordinate with your team

Agüero’s smoke skills can be especially effective in coordinating your team’s movements. Please communicate with your team to let them know when and where you will use smoke, and work together to use it to gain a tactical advantage.

Time it right

Remember that abilities have a cooldown period after use before they can be used again. Therefore, it is essential to use them wisely and try to save them for critical moments in the game.

Omen fumes are potent tools that can obscure the enemy team’s vision and gain a tactical advantage. Using them effectively and coordinating with your team can be a valuable weapon in any game.
