@@LotharVALORANTLaboratory you are the best man, i absolutly love how knowledge can get you far in this game, i just love the feeling when i outsmart my oponent and you are teaching the goods!
I think it has ultra good synergy with Reyna. Back when Reyna had 100 heal, classic + light was secretly good. You die to 5 ghost body, but enemy ghost user dies to 4 classic body, and you know in advance exactly the ugly fight that's about to happen while the enemy doesn't. The main downsides of this strategy, on any agent, is that often you can only kill 1 and you get traded, also you never come out with full HP. Reyna's dismiss and heal mitigates both these. I think Regen shield makes it stronger than ever to play pistol like this, especially on attack. You can heal 25 during your dismiss, and if you are able to get a heal it's 75 instead of 50. And the econ benefit is huge, being able to hero buy in round 3 while still having enough for round 4. Potentially huge snowball.
Thats the ideal scenario but you might find yourself lose value on regen when your reyna heal only affects shields. But again, as i said in the video - i would focus on mostly dismissing when i have regen shield on reyna.
I think one thing players should start doing more with regen shield is doing jump peeks and shoulder peeks. Even if you get hit you can still regen the shield so you end up only taking chip damage in exchange for the info and potential messing of crosshair placement.
Waiting for the Phantom video. It felt like everyone just glossed over it because the patch was so big. I genuinely think this buff might be bigger than even the regen shield.
I have been using phoenix+regensheild+phantom almost every game last couple of days, and I can guarantee, so far, I rarely had to worry about my economy. I still prefer a ghost on pistol though, not necessarily optimal, just a comfort pick.
Ghost makes multis so much easier I also prefer it on pistol. Classic can be kind of 1-and-done, but I think it's great on Reyna/Jett/Chamber because you can get away.
When I read the patch notes I too thought regen shield would be OP on pistol round for Phoenix, but after playing many games of Phoenix on multiple maps, I found that having two flashes actually feels really, really nice. Half armor + 2nd flash + wall (having zero sources of healing on pistol round feels bad). On a round where everyone else has low utility, the fact that Phoenix is able to get two flashes just gives him a lot of flexibility. The regen shield was not bad and there were multiple times I lived because of it but there was also multiple times where I bought double flash and I was able to get a lot of value out of the second flash. Clove I think you can justify regen shield (maybe skill issue on my part, I find trouble getting consistent value out of the heal since it's only 8s), I would argue is at least better than Phoenix.
@@drunkchihuahua okay but the argument is still the same, hard to always find value in only 8 seconds. When you are able to find that second fight it gives insane value but a lot of rounds it's just a dead ability
Half shield + pick me up + 2nd smoke is my goto pistol buy on Clove. It's a really good loadout to use when following up on teammates because the shields prevent you from getting ghost 1 tapped and 1 hs from a classic kills most ppl with some prior chip damage.
@@Chocohalation yeah when you can't find a fight it only gives the speed boost and faster reload. When I think about it it might help you find better late round scenarios since you can get unexected timings.
That is an excellent point about the snowball effect due to the regen shield when a team is dominating. To further this point how do you anticipate the operator buys would change as in become more frequent? I have noticed many good snipers in VCT take chip damage or 1 hit with the vandal when going in for peeks assuming they don't get 1 tapped do you anticipate the gain of economy from not rebuying shilds in consecutive rounds would cement roles of Jett and chambers as awpers on defense side or in a jett and raze comp like spilt have a jett on an op permanently? (more nuance to this but a simplified assumption)
Thats like a very broad guide, its context dependant but yeah, phantom is broken af, regens shields are very good as long as people dont abuse phantom/outlaws.
small correction: when i've used the regen shield and taken damage, the shield has still carried forward to next round WITH replenished reserves, making it that much more powerful
you always get an audio cueue for iso shield, doesnt matter where it is. Regen shield only gives audio when you hit it trough a wall, ONLY THEN. Thats a bug.
Apex legends here we come… neon is already in the game so we have sliding and octane stim… yoru ult is wraith ability… etc. now you can regen your shield…
ah Lothar with the classic: "I was right and no one listens to me" Lothar its not how you talk, but you always think you're right. you cannot accept being wrong. its why no one cares for you
Fun interaction with the regen shield. If you die, and get raised by a Sage, your shield will regen.
i recently discovered your channel, and now i am watching all your videous, and it helps me out a lot as a new player in valorant
Im very happy that you find my content helpful :)

good take
yep, people in general should jump/shoulder peek a lot more

its absolutely bonkers broken
Im taking shots everytime lothar says regen shield 😎
You dead?
LMAO
@@LotharVALORANTLaboratory i can do this all day 😂

Yep, phoenix is sick with Rshield. Absolutely obscene actually.

Classic can be kind of 1-and-done, but I think it's great on Reyna/Jett/Chamber because you can get away.
They need to add halo shield regen sound effects 👍🏻
Agree

So if I follow correctly I should buy a ton of regen shield, phantom/outlaw/operator in buy rounds, stinger and judge in semi-eco rounds?
Thats like a very broad guide, its context dependant but yeah, phantom is broken af, regens shields are very good as long as people dont abuse phantom/outlaws.
why is 2 smokes and regen a good choice on clove, but you said 2 stars and regen isn’t good on astra?
15:15
Because astra uses all of her stars for shared util and astras util is more valuable then cloves.
small correction: when i've used the regen shield and taken damage, the shield has still carried forward to next round WITH replenished reserves, making it that much more powerful
Thats not how it works. If that happened - thats a bug
@LotharVALORANTLaboratory it has happened pretty consistently for me and a bunch of people I play with, pretty gamebreaking for the economy
@@kyouhaku4986 thats def a bug
the shooting behind walls things is the same with iso shield. so i don't think its a bug.
you always get an audio cueue for iso shield, doesnt matter where it is. Regen shield only gives audio when you hit it trough a wall, ONLY THEN. Thats a bug.
