Raze, the most explosive agent in Valorant, guarantees some serious terror in any kind of match. With her explosive abilities and chaotic playstyle, Raze turns the battle into mayhem and destruction. In this guide, we will dig into her abilities, playstyle, and some tips on mastering the explosive potential of Raze.

Raze's Unique Look

Raze's unique look is a reflection of her equally explosive personality. Wearing a backward orange cap and headphones, she is quite the eyesore on the field. Her brown skin and braided hair held back with gold rollers complement her bright orange top, which is spray-painted with "BOOM" across her chest plate. With paint-splattered trousers and her iconic Paint Shell grenades strapped at her side, Raze is all about style and making a statement — gameplay-style.

Mastering Raze's Explosive Arsenal

Raze's abilities are usually centered on disruption and mobility, allowing her to both attack and defend during any match. So, let's dissect her armory:

Boom Bot (C): Deploys a small mechanical bot that hunts down enemies while bouncing off walls on its way. The bot explodes upon contact, dealing damage in a radius. An excellent asset for clearing tight areas and gathering crucial information about enemy positioning in areas that lack visibility.
Blast Pack (Q): A highly versatile ability, Blast Pack, sticks to surfaces when thrown and detonates on command. Damage can be done to enemies with the Blast Pack or, conversely, it can be a means of travel to move quickly away from danger or attack by surprise. In addition, Blast Pack can also be used anytime Raze needs to get into or out of a position quickly and to keep enemies guessing.
Paint Shells (E): Paint Shells are the cluster grenades that deal massive area damage that are pretty much Raze's bread and butter. Once thrown and activated, the grenade split into smaller grenades, thereby covering more ground. This ability works wonders in getting enemies from cover or denying entry into important choke points, rendering the opponents in a tighter situation.
Showstopper (X): Raze's ultimate ability is as explosive as it sounds. With a rocket launcher in her hands, Showstopper strikes, killing multiple enemies in one shot. This ultimate breaks through enemy defenses, flushes out entrenched enemies, or simply makes space for your team to push forward.

Tips for Maximizing Raze's Potential

Clearing Corners: Use Boom Bot (C) to scout out common hiding spots or corners enemies may be occupying. The bot's bouncing trajectory gives enemies little chance to escape.
Flanking and Aggression: Use Blast Pack (Q) to fly into enemy positions, forcing a quick response from the enemies. Make sure to use this alongside a push from your teammate to overwhelm your enemies.
Showstopper Usage: While Showstopper warns enemies of your presence, use this knowledge against them. Hide the others while you enter the site, or surprise anyone who dares to stay in a pinch.

Raze is a high-octane agent that brings chaos to any battlefield with her array of abilities. Using Boom Bot for intel, Blast Pack for mobility, and Paint Shells for area denial, she can create an offensive and defensive nightmare. Mastery over her explosive toolkit combined with good positioning is the key to unlocking her unique style of chaotic mayhem. Whether kicking down defenses or clearing corners alike, Raze brings limitless opportunity for impactful plays and satisfying wins.
