Killjoy\u2019s Nanoswarm is a grenade you can activate that deploys a swarm of little bots, damaging enemies caught in the radius. The former CS:GO pro explained that the molly needs to be tweaked for clarity and surmised that she likely won\u2019t \u201cstay in the game as she is right now.\u201d \u201cI think [Nanoswarm grenades] do a lot of damage too fast and I think it\u2019s hard to even tell you\u2019re in a molly sometimes,\u201d the pro said. \u201cSo I think Killjoy\u2019s damage in the molly, it shouldn\u2019t be ticks. I think it should be constant damage, like all the other mollies in the game.\u201d Hiko said there should be a louder indicator or some sort of alert that notifies you when you\u2019re standing in Nanoswarm\u2019s radius. During scrims last night, the pro said there were \u201cmultiple times\u201d where players walked through a smoke and were getting damaged by the molly without even knowing it. Related: Hiko shows off the power of Killjoy\u2019s ultimate ability in VALORANT Brimstone, Viper, and Phoenix\u2019s mollies were adjusted during a closed beta patch, changing the damage tick speed so players couldn\u2019t avoid damage by bunny hopping. Killjoy\u2019s Nanoswarm will likely follow suit. VALORANT\u2019s newest agent was released in yesterday's Act II patch, along with a fresh battle pass and the Glitchpop skin line.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/03083043\/valorant-killjoy-release-date-abilities-900x506-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286550"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1745"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286550"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":286563,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286550\/revisions\/286563"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286550"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=286550"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=286550"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=286550"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=286550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

100 Thieves captain Hiko shared his thoughts on VALORANT<\/em>\u2019s newest agent during today\u2019s Twitch broadcast.<\/p>

Killjoy\u2019s Nanoswarm is a grenade you can activate that deploys a swarm of little bots, damaging enemies caught in the radius. The former CS:GO <\/em>pro explained that the molly needs to be tweaked for clarity and surmised that she likely won\u2019t \u201cstay in the game as she is right now.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI think [Nanoswarm grenades] do a lot of damage too fast and I think it\u2019s hard to even tell you\u2019re in a molly sometimes,\u201d the pro said. \u201cSo I think Killjoy\u2019s damage in the molly, it shouldn\u2019t be ticks. I think it should be constant damage, like all the other mollies in the game.\u201d<\/p>

Hiko said there should be a louder indicator or some sort of alert that notifies you when you\u2019re standing in Nanoswarm\u2019s radius. During scrims last night, the pro said there were \u201cmultiple times\u201d where players walked through a smoke and were getting damaged by the molly without even knowing it.<\/p>
