A handful of changes are coming to
VALORANT with
Patch 13.02. Agent adjustments remain limited, with Phoenix being the only character to receive a balance change. His ultimate ability,
Run It Back, has been nerfed after Riot Games increased its ultimate cost from six to seven points. The change comes just days after
Team Vitality's Nikita "
Derke" Sirmitev managed to use the ability six times in a single half against
PCIFIC Esports in
VCT EMEA.
Beyond the agent adjustment, Riot Games is expanding the Retakes game mode with three additional maps. Roughly a month after the mode's release, Split, Corrode and Lotus will all be added to its map pool. Meanwhile, the All Random One Site: Replication mode, which had originally been scheduled for this patch, has been postponed to a later date that has yet to be announced.
