They had deduced that the new agent will be bestowed with four different abilities which are known as Prowler, Haunt, Seize, and Nightfall.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the various functions of the abilities to be embodied in Fade;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prowler (C) &#8211; This ability functions solely in the releasing of a creature that only moves in a straight line, revealing trails of enemies or enemies themselves. <\/li>\n<li>Haunt (E) &#8211;  This allows Fade access to a destroyable orb, offers her the ability to see enemies, and then effect a 12-second debuff. To do this, the orb turns into an eye that reveals her enemies. <\/li>\n<li>Seize (Q) &#8211; It is speculated that this function allows Fade the ability to capture enemies that are within a 7-meters range. This is facilitated by the use of an orb with a seize function. <\/li>\n<li>Nightfall (X) &#8211; With this function, Fade is allowed to unleash a dark mist over enemies. This ability causes enemies to go deaf and decay for 12 seconds. It can also be used in favor of teammates to hunt down enemies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports betting news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Initiator operator, Fade, makes her way to Valorant and fans are thrilled as they can&#8217;t wait to experience&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":19721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4,1150,1610,1899],"class_list":["post-19720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-featured","tag-valorant","tag-valorant-champions-tour","tag-valorant-masters-reykjavik"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19720"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19720"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19722,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19720\/revisions\/19722"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
