Killjoy is an inventive German genius with deadly robots. She can send an explosive Alarmbot to hurt enemies, toss nanoswarm grenades, deploy a tiny turret, and trap others with her Lockdown ultimate.

You can read every ability and description from the Killjoy introduction page:

Clearly, Killjoy is a defensive character much like Cypher, and her abilities will be great at holding down sites. Her turret doesn't seem to inflict a lot of damage but her nanoswarm grenade looks overpowered. Her Lockdown ultimate looks powerful at slowing down opponents - a strategy perfect in critical bomb site situations.

Killjoy will be released in Act 2 of Valorant, on August 4.
