Meet Tejo, Valorant’s newest addition hailing from Colombia, who is here to spice things up. This well-dressed gentleman enters the game as an Initiator, a role that relies heavily on strategy and understanding your opponent’s tactics. Tejo brings a fresh kit full of tools designed for flushing out enemies, collecting crucial information, deploying explosive force, and delivering concussive impacts. To make the most out of him, players with a strategic mind and game sense will find Tejo an exciting challenge. And for those with a Game Pass membership, unlocking him is just part of the perk.
Tejo makes his entrance with a simple but effective statement: “This should be simple enough. I flush them out. You finish them.” His skill set demands proactive thinking and a strategic approach to analyze each situation as it unfolds, helping clear paths for teammates.
Let’s dive into Tejo’s ability set, focusing on enemy dispossession through various methods like intel gathering, destructive force, and disorientation:
-
Stealth Drone: Deploy this invisible drone to get the upper hand on enemy positioning. Unlike others, Tejo’s drone is cloaked from long-range view, allowing safer intel gathering without drawing immediate enemy fire.
-
Guided Salvo: Direct one or more missiles to specific locations on the map. The unique spectacle of this ability lies in its dual explosions, capable of dislodging enemies from entrenched positions.
-
Special Delivery: Throw a grenade that adheres to enemies or structures, then triggers a concussive blast. It’s a quick, decisive move designed for fast action rather than setup.
- Armageddon: Release a wave of destruction that compels enemies to relocate—the ultimate lockdown ability, perfect for coordinating with teammates who can swiftly capitalize on your initial offensive.
With each of these abilities, Tejo requires teammates who can seamlessly execute plays based on the opportunities he creates, particularly in high-pressure game situations.
Now, let’s break down his toolkit:
Stealth Drone: This nifty gadget is perfect for both offensive pushes and defensive holds. Its stealthy design allows it to survive longer in the field, providing vital enemy placements without exposing your intentions too early. It’s a smart utility piece that stands out by blending traditional recon with suppression capabilities.
Guided Salvo: “Why rockets?” we asked one of the developers, to which they replied with a chuckle, “Because rockets are sweet.” Beyond the excitement of launching rockets, these projectiles push teams to stay alert, change positions, and think actively about their strategies to manage the incoming threat.
Special Delivery: This straightforward piece of kit is about capturing explosive momentum. Tejo can quickly shift from a setup phase to an immediate assault, forcing opponents to react hastily. It empowers the team to delve into battle with an assertive push in tow.
Armageddon: Ultimate abilities tend to sway battles, and Armageddon is no exception. Timing and awareness are key, as utilizing this can flip the tide of a round by scattering defenses, allowing allies to seize territorial advantage quickly.
To sum up Tejo’s package, he thrives with partners who can rapidly follow up on his initiations—think agents like Neon. As Tejo tends to create pressure points from a distance, speed and seamless coordination become crucial. Harnessing his full potential requires a well-tested strategic approach and understanding when to pull the trigger on his gadgets.
Those who have a knack for outsmarting opponents will find playing Tejo rewarding. With all of Valorant’s characters accessible for Game Pass users, it’s never been easier to master this innovative agent and forge ahead with your team to victory. In Tejo’s own words, “We can stand around all day talking about killing them… or we just do it.” So, ready up and let the action commence!
