Yesterday, at VALORANT Masters Santiago, RIOT Games showcased the new agent, Miks, in a showmatch between Team Bunt and Team Megan. Moreover, the showmatch also revealed the new Knockout game mode, alongside the Blackthorn Collection and the new Battlepass. VALORANT also revealed the official reveal trailer for the new sound-energy agent, Miks, giving a glimpse of what he can do.
Miks, the Official 30th Agent in VALORANT
Miks is the 30th agent coming to the official roster of agents in VALORANT on March 18, 2026. He is a controller character, packed with abilities to hold the site, boost allies with combat stims, and concuss enemies to create space.
After seeing the Showmatch yesterday, we have a great idea on how well Miks can perform with other characters to have a strong team synergy.
His ability to boost allies with combat stim also gives him a boost on every kill, and the stim refreshes after every kill. This is not even his strongest ability.
The most busted move of Miks is his Ultimate, Bassquake. As Miks unleashes a Sonic Radiance, it knocks back the players while deafening and slowing them. It is like a powerful version of Breach’s Rolling Thunder.
