Raze Abilities and Price in Valorant
Raze doesn’t have any self-healing abilities, although all her abilities boost your ADR significantly. While “shooting matters and you don’t kill with abilities” in Valorant, it’s definitely not true for this agent.
Here are all the abilities in Raze’s kit, default keybinds, and their cost:
Boom Bot – 300 Creds (C)
It equips a boom bot which deploys on firing. It travels in a straight line and bounces on impact with walls. Boom bot locks on enemies standing in its way and chases them, exploding in a small area and dealing damage in the process.
Max Charges: 1
Blast Pack- 200 Creds (Q)
Using this instantly throws a blast pack that sticks to the surface. After deploying, reusing the ability detonates the blast pack, damaging the enemies and pushing them away radially.
This is one of the most versatile abilities in Valorant and can be used to travel great distances quickly.
