According to Cambridge Dictionary, a mage is someone who has “Magic powers or who has studied for a long time and has a lot of knowledge.” Deciphering from the code name’s original meaning, we can expect him/her to feature pro-defender or even pro-controller skills.

Like Cypher, the Mage may show off the attitude of a ‘trickster’ and be the master of secrets. On the other hand, the Mage could also play mind games like Viper and Omen to control different sites on a map.
Well, we haven’t seen a new controller agent in a long time and Mage can personify an extremely knowledgeable agent, someone like Brimstone.
With the new map Pearl being the best playground for lurkers, players need a more adroit controller or sentinel who can cover more critical angles. An experienced magician as a controller or a sentinel doesn’t sound bad at all!

Riot hasn’t followed a very specific trend when it comes to releasing new agents. We can, however, expect to welcome Mage within Episode 5. The latest agent, Fade released back in April this year during Episode 4 Act 3, and Neon was released an Act before Fade, that is, in Episode 4 Act 1. Going by that trend, we can expect Mage to drop in the next Act itself.
However, Riot could also decide to keep anticipating fans waiting a bit more for Mage to arrive.

Valorant features 19 agents at the moment, with Duelist and Initiator classes dominating in numbers. With Mage joining the roster, we’ll have a satisfying even number alongside a powerful magician to yield against enemies.
