Valorant Reyna Guide: 7 Tips & Tricks to Master Reyna
Feb. 16, 2024Best Reyna Tips & Tricks
Reyna is an aggressive Valorant agent when it comes to pushing opponents or taking the first blood. However, before you peek an angle make sure you have a plan in your head on what you will do next in case you get a kill. A lot of times a rookie will dismiss out of a fight even if there are no additional threats. Instead, they can use Devour and heal up in case of damage taken during the first tussle.
If you have a plan to get a kill and exit a fight but you find an opportunity to move forward then never hesitate. Reyna is equipped with enough ability to fight beyond.
You can cast your Leer ability through walls and place it in any direction you want. Remember to always use this method before peeking at an angle of the wall. Keep in mind that when you take Leer in your hand to cast it you cannot defend yourself.
Also, while you are using the Leer ability make sure you put it forward and not to your side. This will help you immediately fight anyone in front of you while they try to destroy it. You can also put the blind on the ground to confuse the enemy’s aim.
If you wanna win a pistol round playing a Reyna can be always beneficial. It can be even better if you can rock a classic. Buy a half shield and one point of Devour/ Dismiss. This will let you secure multiple kills and sustain in a fight. The early half-shield will help you gather a frag or two. Then you can keep using Devour and dominate your enemies with a shield/ armor advantage.
If you are playing as Reyna you are at an advantage when it comes to catching other Valorant agents in vulnerable situations. Other duelists cannot escape after fighting from a vulnerable position to get some kill.
However, Reyna can escape from situations after getting a kill thanks to her Dismiss ability. This makes Reyna deadly in terms of angle clearance. You can also dodge area damage using dismiss in such situations.
Reyna’s Empress ability can be a game changer depending on the usage. It gives you faster movement and fire rate along with reload speed. This can help you in a multi-enemy situation. You can also use Dismiss after every kill for a healthy duration.
Once you use the Dismiss while in Empress you also gain invisibility and get healed up to 150. This makes Reyna scary even in a 1 vs. 5 situation. Reyna also gains a massive vision boost as most of your view will go darker and only the enemy Valroant agents will be in a bright color.
The biggest weakness Reyna has is a lack of supportive utilities. This means if you cannot hit those shots you will be almost useless in your team. Valorant agents are useful when they can contribute even after a bad aim but Reyna is different on that part. If you lack confidence in taking duels you will make your team feel like they are playing as four agents. So, make sure you have your aim game prepared before touching the queen.
A lack of information can be a huge counter for Reyna. As a fight-friendly duelist, Reyna always looks for a fight. However, if you have no information about your enemy’s whereabouts then you can be in a situation where you will be unable to do anything to get out of such situation. Make sure you have proper communication with teammates or you will always be shut down before you can even see who to shoot.
Last but not least thing to understand is that even with damage-dodging skills, Reyna is not invincible. Agents likeKay/oorBreachcan counter Reyna easily. Both of these agents are good at clearing off angles and corners. Which can reflect on Reyna being vulnerable. This makes her stop going over-aggressive in the fights and peeks. Kay/o knife can stop Reyna from using Dismiss to get out of an aggressive situation while Breach can concuss her in a corner. That is why make sure you know which agents to approach while picking fights as Reyna.
You will also need to understand as a Reyna you will have to do the aggressive carrying for the team. If you are playing Reyna for the first time, make sure you have your aims perfected in the range because you will need kills to reach the full potential of Reyna. Also, if you want to make a proper combination around Reyna, supportive utility agents likeOmen, Skye, Sova, or Gekkocan go well.
So, what are you waiting for? Use these tips and tricks to master Reyna in your Valorant games and Let us know your experience in the comments.
Yes, if you are new to Valorant and you come from other shooter games then playing Reyna will be easier than other agents.
Unfortunately on professional and LAN levels Reyna is pretty one-dimensional and can be easily shut down. That is why Reyna is good for rank climb but not at the professional level.
