Valorant Raze guide - 40 tips and tricks that every Raze main should know
How does Raze fare after her nerf?

Guide by Ollie TomsGuides Editor
Published on April 22, 2020

Out of all the agents available in Valorant, Raze is perhaps the most rage-inducing to contend against. Her skillset is focused almost entirely on dealing direct damage, setting her well apart from the rest of the agents in Valorant. But while her abilities are fairly easy to get to grips with, there's an awful lot more to them - and her - than meets the eye. Our Valorant Raze guide will walk you through some top-tier tips and tricks for getting the most out of this bombastic demo expert.
Valorant Raze guide
Raze abilities overview
Raze tips - Paint Shells
extreme speed more than anything (for example, relocating to a different area), the best thing to do is throw your first pack on the ground, wait until the throw animation is complete, then click the ability button three more times. This will explode the first pack, then immediately throw and explode the second pack too. Angling yourself correctly while you do this will result in
Raze ultimate tips - Showstopper
Showstopper deals between 20 and 150+ damage depending on the target's proximity to the very centre of the blast. A direct hit is a guaranteed kill.
As with Paint Shells, you can deal self-damage with Showstopper, so be careful.
Firing the rocket propels yourself backwards, and you can use this momentum to bunny-hop away.
You can chain together Blast Packs and the Showstopper to fly through the air and fire the rocket from above. There's no movement inaccuracy with the rocket, so it will go exactly where you point it.
The Showstopper rocket fires completely straight; there's no bullet drop at all. However, the velocity of the rocket is rather slow, so don't expect instant kills over longer distances. In some cases it may be better (and safer) to opt for your regular hitscan weapon.
The moment you first hit your ultimate button, the timer begins. And if the timer runs out, you won't fire anything but you'll still use up the ability. Likewise, if you die before you get to fire the rocket, the ability will still be depleted.
For this reason, it's best to use your ultimate even if you're not sure you'll hit anyone. Don't concern yourself with lining up the perfect hit; it's often a good idea to shoot at the wall or floor where an enemy might be, just in case.
While the timer is counting down, you can switch weapons and fight as normal, and it won't cancel the ability. However, you'll have to go through the ultimate prep animation again if you want to reequip it.
You can bait players by prepping Showstopper and then immediately switching over to your regular weapon. An enemy who recognises the windup time of the ultimate might peek, expecting to get an easy kill while you're still caught in the windup animation. Little do they know that you'll already have your gun out and aimed at their head.
While switching from Showstopper to weapon and back will incur a reequip penalty, switching from Showstopper to another ability and back will not. So after throwing a Paint Shell or Blast Pack, you'll be able to reequip your Showstopper surprisingly quickly.
