Furthermore, Neon can be seen creating a wall using her moves that have two sides which can block vision from both sides and hence form a tunnel in which players can feel safe to enter a site. Like every other agent, Valorant Neon uses a weapon but her ability to shoot electricity simply with her fingertips is definitely going to make her one of the most wanted Valorant agents.
