After drastic Fracture changes, these four agents will also see a changes to their abilities. How does this affect you?
The latest Valorant update, Patch 5.07 brought significant changes to Fracture. But it has also introduced several ability updates to a few Valorant agents - namely, Skye, Yoru, Kay/O and Reyna
These changes are intended to increase the total teamplay output of Skye and KAY/O when they coordinate plays with their teammates, and decrease some of their efficacy when played alone. We also hope to increase the reward for putting more time into mastering their flash abilities. We believe that Initiators should still be able to make solo plays, but they should ideally be weaker than their Duelist counterparts in these scenarios.
Here are all the Valorant 5.07 Agent changes.
Skye
Pop flashing with Skye is slightly less effective now. The more time you channel your flash, the more impact it will have. This means opponents now have more time to react to the Skye flash, making it slightly less effective.
Aredditorhad a cool idea for fake-flashing with Skye - “what if I just throw the bird into a wall/corner for 0.75 seconds then pop flash it around the corner? That way I can still pop flash for myself and get full flash duration.”
Yoru
Yoru has a slightly longer blind duration, which in a game like Valorant can make a huge impact. Players often use Yoru flashes from within their ults, and the .25 higher flash timing will give them more time to adjust out of the ultimate and get some frags.

The change to Dish on the A site will probably make the area more active in pro matches.

Kay/o
Kay/o has receives some big nerfs, the maximum underhand flash timing reduces by 0.75 seconds. The overhand flash has received a slight buff, but it does feel like Kay/o can no longer just underhand flash and take on multiple enemies with as much ease.
Reyna
Slight buffs to Reyna that make her much more stronger. Reyna’s kit does not see a drastic change in performance but these changes will matter more at the highest skill level and pros will definitely see a slight increase in Reyna’s pick rate.
The Valorant 5.07 Agent changes will dramatically alter the utility of the said agents. You can check out the full patch noteshere.
