Brief Summary of Valorant Patch Notes 7.04

PATCH HIGHLIGTS

AGENT UPDATES

• Reducing the frequency of large area of effect of ultimates
• Reducing the amount of time utility is active in the world
• Reducing the HP of shootable utility
• We also believe the Ultimate cost updates below better align large area, high-impact ults with the pressure they place on the enemy, creating both a better pacing of the round-defining abilities and a clearer choice competition between high and low cost ults.
