Cover-Credits:
Iso is the latest Valorant Agent to be introduced to the game and players are excited to try him out. The character hails from the newest country to receive the game, China and seems to be a brutal assassin who is a lone wolf.
The 23rd Agent as revealed earlier this year is a Duelist and uses his cutting edge technology to gain an upper hand on the battlefield, but the overall efficiency mostly relies on the raw aim and mechanical skills of the player operating Iso.
The official trailer of the Agent was released on 19th October and community members without wasting any time were able to find out Iso's abilities, all of them explained below in detail along with the official release date of the Duelist.
New Valorant Duelist Agent Iso: Complete Details

One of the most unique ultimate abilities in the game, Iso equips energy which upon firing slowly creeps through the map turning it into an interdimensional arena.
The first enemy player that comes in contact with it, gets dragged into a 1v1 arena where both players duel till one of them dies.
Iso seems to be a proper Duelist who possesses a great set of abilities that all directly depend on the gun mechanics of a player. In the hands of capable players, this character can be a nuisance to deal with, but at the same time, if someone less skilled selects him then it can be a tough going for the team.
He can be great at handling all-out fights, retaking sites, breaking into spaces, and take on several 1 versus X situations. It will be great to see how the community and professional players use Iso after the officially release in Valorant.
