DESIGN PILLARS

1. Constant information gathering Gather intel on enemy positions and setups before teammates push, reducing guesswork on site entry (similar on some points to sova…)

2. Clearing chokepoints Break enemy entrenched setups especially around chokepoints or through smokes so duelists can capitalize on openings created

3. Team Dependency Abilities shine brightest when coordinating with teammates; weak when played solo(…and on others to breach)

LORE & BACKGROUND

Origin Story: Ento grew up in natural reserves in South Africa, and as the son of forest rangers he was very close to nature and especially his favourite little critters, bugs. After his parents died in an altercation with poachers in which he got severely injured and stranded in a cave, his radianite powers awoke in him and made him a Radiant and he was lifted out of the cave by a swarm of beetles. He was recruited by VALORANT Protocol for their unique ability to control bugs with whom he shares a special bond.

Alpha version quote:

"Bliksem!!! I will not let them poach our radianite any longer"

Omega version quote:

"A termites nest dies if the termites aren’t fed, eishhh we must go feed somewhere else"
