I am actually shocked I haven’t got tinnitus but, contemplating how a lot music I hearken to. I obtained a number of DMs from friends querying how the hell I might managed to rack up so many minutes after posting my Spotify wrapped final 12 months; I simply love a great tune, innit. Properly, new Valorant Controller Miks evidently feels the identical manner, and has gone one step additional, to channel pure sound power into his package.
Hailing from Croatia, Miks has all of it: a Brimmy stimmy, bleepy bloopy sound results, and, most significantly, his character reveal video is scored by BUNT’s wonderful remix of Zedd’s Readability. I have not felt a lot of something since maximal EDM died, so that is absolutely an indication that Miks goes to be the agent for me within the FPS game. Admittedly, my Valorant hours have just about flatlined in current instances, however now I instantly really feel the urge to return to the server.
As for what Miks’ package entails, I’ve already alluded to Harmonize, which permits him to both apply a fight stim to each himself and an ally, or solely to himself by way of alt-fire. Not like Brimstone’s stim, this one refreshes on kill, offering your high fragger the means to go completely wild mid-round. However this is not the one manner Miks can shake issues up on the fly.
His subsequent capacity, M-pulse, is a flexible little bit of thrown package that may both heal your workforce or concuss enemies that enter its radius, relying on the way you activate it. Waveform, Miks’ smokes, function in a really related style to Clove’s, albeit with out the means to reactivate them. I believe M-pulse will discover extra common use in pushing foes off of angles, however I may also think about it being deployed to maintain allies topped up whereas they’re getting spammed in his smokes to nice impact.
Lastly, there’s Miks’ final, Bassquake. With the clap of his arms, Miks emits a blast of sonic power in a slim cone, deafening, slowing, and knocking again all gamers hit. It is redolent of Breach’s ult, albeit with out the concussive properties. By the seems of issues, Valorant’s new child on the block sits someplace between Brimstone and Sage when it comes to design. Riot has been drawing inspiration from older brokers for its trendy additions for some time now, so Miks’ hybrid id as a supportive Controller could be very a lot par for the course.
Concerning Valorant’s twenty ninth agent, sport designer Kevin Meier says in a presser: “Mik’s gameplay is teamplay-first. From dropping smokes, to therapeutic, and offering fight stim – gamers will typically be specializing in their allies when making selections. He is in a position to change the tempo as a spherical progresses, primarily based on what his workforce wants. Harmonize is nice when your workforce must take a web site or house, and also you need everybody to be more practical in fight. Miks can also be in a position to preserve the tempo throughout battle, or benefit from downtime, by therapeutic allies earlier than their subsequent engagements.”
So, with Meier’s fast suggestions locked within the dome, you are now primed to tear it up with Miks when he arrives on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, alongside Valorant Season 2026 Act 2. For those who see him get instalocked, it is most likely me… sorry (I am not sorry).
