Who is Miks in Valorant?
Miks is the newest Controller in Valorant, marking the seventh for the game. As the latest Sonic Radiant from Croatia, he utilizes pure sound energy to unite his teammates and guide the flow of battle, rather than seeking individual dominance, according to Riot’s official description.
Clove and KJ reportedly discovered Miks at an underground rave during their personal leave. They quickly realized he was more than just a person with unique abilities; he was a natural leader and morale booster, qualities that the team found invaluable in their fight against Legion.
Miks employs advanced gloves that enable him to either dampen or amplify sound waves produced by his body. Additionally, he has an impulse device that alters these waves to produce various effects, such as healing allies or stunning foes.
Players will soon get to experience Miks in Valorant early access. Stay tuned for in-depth coverage, analysis, and guides on the game’s newest Controller Agent.
