Overview
Chamber is a sentinel in Valorant. Well-dressed and well-armed, French weapons designer Chamber expels aggressors with deadly precision. He leverages his custom arsenal to hold the line and pick off enemies from afar, with a contingency built for every plan. Buy order in the round: C > E > Q. The ultimate, Tour De Force, is charged with ultimate points.
Strengths
- Brings traps and set-ups: Trademark (C).
- Brings slows: Trademark (C) and Tour De Force (X).
- Brings movement: Rendezvous (E).
Weaknesses
- No information (reveals enemies) in the kit, which a sentinel usually has: lean on your team for it.
- No ability that reveals enemies: your information comes from teammates and sound.
