[KAE: AGENT CONCEPT] My abilities for Devin Yang's agent concept art; Kae.

NOTE: All art was made by Devin Yang, I want to make that clear. I also don't take any credit for the character that he made, I am just designing/coming up with some ideas for his agent concept (as he never designed any official abilities for the character).

Devin Yang's description of the Agent:

Kae:Drew my original character, Kae – a hero from a dystopian future where humans have to live & fight alongside spirits from another world – in the Valorant game style because I really dig the game's visual design and illustration style! Great learning process for tailoring my own art style to another!

Kae

Kae is a unique Controller that uses celestial beings and spirits to ward off enemies from areas and gather information for her team.

Abilities:

Signature Ability: Spirit Form (1 Charge)

  • Kae will generate a light blue Spirit projection infront of her which she will then control and move around. Similarly to Skye's dog, the Spirit can only see a short distance infront of her (12 metre nearsight).The spirit is allowed to roam around the map but is destroyed when reaching a distance of 40 metres from Kae's body. Kae can position the spirit in any position as long as it is in range of Kae, allowing her to use the Spirit to gain information similarly to a Cypher camera. Kae can go in and out of the Spirit form at any time.
  • While Kae is controlling the spirit, it will be visible to enemy players that are within 20 metres of the spirit. This means enemies can't see the spirit if it is far away. Additionally when the Spirit is standing still for 1.5 seconds it will become completely invisible except for 2 glowing blue eyes in the head of the spirit which will only be visible to enemies within 5 metres of it.While the spirit is being controlled it will make a soft whirring noise to alert enemies to its location.
  • The Spirit has a total of 50 HP, which will restore at a rate of 5 per second when it hasn't been damaged for 2 seconds. When the Spirit is destroyed it will be returned to Kai and be usable again after a 30 second cooldown. The spirit can move slightly faster than a normal player, and can also glide like Jett, and jump slightly higher allowing the Spirit to manuever into better locations.
  • Finally, while in spirit form, holding down R or reload for 2 seconds will shatter the spirit; returning it to Kae after a 10 second cooldown and blinding anybody that was looking at the spirit for 1.2 seconds.

Passive: Spirit Binding

  • Even after death, if Kae still has her spirit form left on the map she is able to control it and move around. She can go between spirit form and spectating teamates. Once the spirit form is destroyed she is gone for good. (Shattering her spirit will create a flash that last 4 seconds, but her spirit is then gone).

Basic Ability 1: Gleam (Max 3 Charges, 150 Credits each)

  • Kae will raise her hand which is holding a glowing light purple orb of light. She can deploy this the way omen deploys his dark cover/smoke. After deploying the orb of light it can be activated by looking at it and pressing F. This will create a small explosion of light after 0.4 seconds which blinds anybody looking in its direction for 2.5 seconds and then leaving a brightness effect on the players screen which obstructs vision making it harder to aim for 4 additional seconds.
  • This blindness effect is not visible to teamates if they are flashed, and the flash only last 0.9 seconds for teamates.
  • While the orb of light isn't activated and it static it will be visible to players by a small light purple star that rotates around. This is to let players know not to look over that direction which is useful when retaking or attacking because you can make players scared or more cautious to watch certain angles.

Basic Ability 2: Soul Fumes (2 Charges, 200 Credits Each)

  • Kae will conjure a turquoise ball of smoke in her hand. She can left click to overarm throw it, or right click to underarm throw it.
  • When the ball lands it will create a blue area of smoke 3.5 metres in size. Enemies within this smoke will take 19 damage per second. While teamates are in it they will heal for 10 health per second. The smoke will last 15 seconds. While Kae is in the smoke she will regain 15 health per second.
  • After the smoke is on the map for 7 seconds it will lose its healing and damaging properties and turn a dull blue.

Ultimate Ability: Soul Swap (Requires 7 ultimate points)

  • Kae can only activate her ultimate while in spirit form (while alive or dead) and while looking at a dead body.
  • When activated, the spirit form will be locked in a 5 second animation where the spirit will enter the dead players body. After the 5 seconds Kae's body (if she is alive) will evaporate and you will be able to control the agent that the spirit form went into for the rest of the round. You will have all the abilites left on the agent when they died, but 3 less ult points away from max ult points allowing you to possibly use your ultimate during the time that you are in the other agents body.
  • When you are dead and you want to use Soul Swap, you only have 10 seconds to do so before you ultimate is unable to be used.
  • You can not re-enter your own dead body.
