The competitive gaming community has thrived for the past few years since the COVID-era. Moreover, FPS games have taken over the fold with their popularity. And Valorant has created an entirely different player base! Players really love the game and all the unique mechanics it has to offer. Furthermore, one of the game’s sentinel agents, Cypher, will receive massive buffs in the upcoming patch 7.09.

Valorant has many unique game mechanics. Furthermore, the game’s agents—the playable characters—are also one of its most distinctive aspects. Valorant uses its agents in a way distinct from how other games use them. From categorizing them into different roles, the game’s agent pool is really vast. Moreover, since the last few updates, the game has had many non-duelist agents enter the fray.

Additionally, Riot Games has added many sentinel agents to Valorant. Some sentences are used more than others, and some are really sidelined because their abilities are a little less effective! One such Sentinel Agent of Valorant, Cypher, is getting massive buffs in the upcoming 7.08 Patch!

The valuable agent pool is massive. Moreover, the role segregation of agents in the game is excellent for players to develop different playstyles. One of the agent roles in the game, the Sentinel role, is crucial for every match. Not only do Sentinel agents provide great utilities, but they are also great at information gathering. Deadlock, Valorant’s latest Sentinel agent, is also a great addition to the game!

Furthermore, Valorant’s new patch and season update, 7.08, are right around the corner. And this update is coming with many new changes, the best one being the new duelist agent, ISO. However, specific less-used agents are also getting some great buffs! And Cypher is one of them!

This sentinel agent is one of the first agents in the game and was a beta phase agent! Moreover, players have sidelined this agent for quite a while due to his less valuable abilities. However, Cypher is getting buffs in the next patch, which are excellent; his ability, Trip Wire, is getting a massive makeover.

  • Trip Wire No Longer Gets Destroyed After Activating
  • Trip Wire now stuns its target after 1.5 seconds, previously 3 seconds.

Furthermore, the Trip Wire’s non-destroying aspect is excellent, as opponents can walk through it repeatedly in a single round without breaking the wire unless they break it themselves. This will once again make Cypher a great Sentinel agent of Valorant, and players are hyped for his comeback soon! The upcoming patch, 7.08, is landing soon with new agents, a new battle pass, and some cool buffs!
