Raze

Raze's kit is built around explosive area denial and aggressive movement. Her Blast Pack satchel charges can be used for mobility, damage, or clearing corners — mastering satchel jumping is essential for high-level play. Paint Shells grenades bounce twice before detonating, releasing sub-grenades that cover a wide area and deal massive damage. Boom Bot is a rolling robot that chases enemies in a straight line and detonates on contact. Her ultimate Showstopper fires a rocket that creates a massive explosion, killing any enemy in its blast radius. Unlike other Valorant duelists, Raze excels at clearing corners and denying space through raw explosive force.

Raze dominates on maps with tight corners and predictable cubby positions. On Split, her Paint Shells can clear both B Garage and A Ramen cubbies with bounce grenades. Bind's U-Hall and teleporter rooms are perfect for Boom Bot and satchel entries. Lotus's rotating doors and A Drop create unique satchel jumping opportunities. She is weaker on open maps like Breeze where enemies can dodge her explosives at long range. Valorant duelist guides consistently rank Raze as the best agent for clearing close corners and creating space through explosive area denial.

Raze pairs exceptionally well with initiators who reveal enemies for her explosives. Sova's Recon Bolt reveals enemies behind walls — follow up with Paint Shells for guaranteed damage. Breach's Fault Line concuss stuns enemies in place while Raze's grenades finish them off. Skye's Trailblazer can scout corners and concuss enemies while Raze follows with Boom Bot. On defense, Raze can use satchels to reach elevated positions for aggressive off-angles. Kay/O's suppression combos well with Raze's Showstopper — suppressed enemies cannot dodge the rocket with abilities. Raze on Valorant Fandom covers satchel jump spots and Paint Shells lineups for every competitive map.

Top Raze players master satchel mechanics and grenade trajectories. Place a Blast Pack at your feet and shoot it while jumping to propel yourself upward — this is the basic satchel jump that opens unique map angles. Paint Shells bounce twice — aim at the ground near corners so the sub-grenades spread into cubby spaces. Boom Bot follows a straight line and can be destroyed — use it to check corners rather than deal damage. Showstopper rocket has a travel time — aim at expected enemy positions rather than current ones. Double satchel jumps propel Raze across large distances for surprise entries. Liquipedia's Raze guide features VCT pro analysis with advanced satchel movement techniques and optimal explosive rotations.

Playing against Raze requires spreading out and denying her explosive value. Stay spread to avoid Paint Shells multi-grenade damage. Raze's satchel jumps are loud and predictable — pre-aim at common landing spots. Shoot Boom Bot before it reaches you — it has low HP and can be destroyed quickly. Kay/O's suppression prevents Raze from using satchels for mobility or Showstopper. Jett can dash away from Raze's rocket blast radius. Sage's Barrier Orb can block Raze's Paint Shells lineups. Use distance to your advantage — Raze's explosives are less effective at long range. On Valorant Fandom you can find specific counter-strategies for denying Raze's satchel mobility and minimizing her grenade effectiveness on each map.
