VALORANT Agent Overview: OMEN

The shadow hunter, often described as "a phantom of a memory", Omen, stalks from deep darkness then strikes unnoticed. Along with his origin, his power is unknown but wields shadows as his weapon. His personality describes him as a merciless hunter, exterminating impediment people to achieve his goal.

Trivia

Omen was originally a League of Legends Champion. He was planned to be released by the end of League of Legends season 1 but due to lack of idea, Riven was released instead (Sept. 14, 2011).

Abilities

BASIC

Shrouded Step

Omen covers himself with shadow and disappears, teleporting to the designated spot.

Good for repositioning after taking a fight or stuck in a position. Can also be used for aggressive fights.

Sound Cues


Type:	Movement
Cost:	100 credits
Slot:	2 slots

Paranoia

Omen materializes a shadow ball and throws it in a straight line.

This orb passes through walls and agents, like an ethereal object, and makes the agents nearsighted, friend or foe. This is a good blinding ability since it lasts a bit longer than other blinding abilities.

Sound Cues


Type:	CC
Cost:	200 credits
Slot:	1 slot

SIGNATURE

Dark Cover

Omen sends a shadow orb in the assigned location then expands. It simply acts as a smoke but its inside is hollow, allowing him for aggressive exploits. Operate it by clicking "R" (by default) to change perspective (seeing through walls or not), clicking Mouse Buttons for distance, and "E" (by default) to deploy.

Sound Cues


Type:	VC
Cost:	Restock every 35 secs
Slot:	2 slots

ULTIMATE

From The Shadows

Omen teleports anywhere on the map and transfers his consciousness to the shade (can be destroyed by an enemy to cancel his teleport.) Omen can either teleport to that designated location or scout the vicinity and cancel the teleport. Omen loses his ult points either way.

Sound Cues


Type:	Movement, VC
Cost:	7 ult points

Tips

Omen is a solid pick for aggressive players. When his shrouded step is successfully used beside the enemies then get all that frag, it's very satisfying. His Dark Cover and Shrouded Step works well with each other, sneaking or faking a teleport. Though it wouldn't be complete without his Paranoia, blinding enemies to make them panic even more, not seeing where you teleported. His ult is a great scouting ability and a great repositioning ability since it can be used anywhere on the map.
