VALORANT: New Agent Waylay – All Details And Leaks

Riot Games has officially confirmed that the teaser for the new agent, Waylay, will be released on March 2. However, leaks and hints have already surfaced, giving insight into the potential abilities and mechanics of this new character in Valorant.

Key Information About Waylay

Leaks and early teasers suggest that Waylay is a new duelist and the first agent from Thailand. The last duelist introduced in the game was Iso, back in October 2023, making the arrival of another duelist highly anticipated.

Codename and Visual Clues

One of the major hints about Waylay’s abilities comes from her codename in the battle pass – "Refraction." This term refers to the bending of light as it passes through different materials, suggesting mechanics involving mirrors or illusions.

Additionally, glowing crystals have appeared in teasers, seemingly linked to the new agent. These could play a key role in her cloning ability.

Possible Abilities and Gameplay Mechanics

Based on leaks and speculation, Waylay might have the following abilities:

• Cloning – A mechanic similar to Yoru’s ability but with a more realistic effect.
• Dash with visual effects – Similar to Jett’s dash but with unique animations and light distortions.
• Mirror or reflection-based ability – Possibly creating a mirror image, similar to Ying’s mechanics in Paladins.
• Purple crystals – Leaks show massive crystals, which could be part of her ultimate ability or a new resource, similar to Radianite.

Connection to Valorant Lore

In one of Brimstone’s letters found in recent updates, coordinates matching a location in Thailand were mentioned. This further confirms Waylay’s origin and possibly her connection to other agents.

Expectations and Release

Waylay’s official release may coincide with a new Valorant episode or act. If Riot Games follows their usual schedule, a full trailer and ability showcase should follow the teaser on March 2 during the VCT 2025 Bangkok showmatch.

Players are eagerly awaiting the new addition, and if the leaks are accurate, Waylay could become one of the most unique duelists in the game.
