It just gives us a slight advantage cause the opponent might still pick the right spot but its cool cause you can cancel out enemy ult or distract enemies from doing something important
You forgot to mention that you can easily use his ult to fight someone who is alone and even if they win you can have a teamate camp their respawn ensuring that in worst case scenario you get a trade
His name is probably a reference to isolating the enemy (like his ult with the 1v1 arena) but also isometry or isometric grids, which is the term for pushing a bunch of hexagons or other polygons together, like in his ult icon, or the indestructible wall he can make. I love when they give characters double meanings like this.
Thnx for the hunterxhunter background tune....it brought me back some great memories...btw ethos unlike other utubers (w/ early access) u stood out most in describing this agent
I was just about to unlock him but first needed a video and this was the one to come up from you and you explained him very well! Thank you. Unlocking ISO right now.
hi guys 1 more note about iso that everyone forgets to talk about. when u enter your ult it activates a (free (idk for sure if its free)) double tap so when u kill the guiy in the ult there is a lil moment to shoot the upcoming orb above his head. this makes u spawn with a shield
Just realized his ult could be used as s stall in a 2 v 1 retake. A kind of niche situation but if yk someone playing time in a general direction, u can set up the iso ult, pull the other player away, ur teamate defuses and u can literally just stalk behind one of the walls for 7 seconds then kill the guy
Finally a duelist that i can play, with the fragile thing my random spray of bodyshots os now a random spray of headshots, with the wall i will never get shot from weird angles again, with the shield i can protect myself when i do stupid things like peeking an operator, i just have to remember never to use the ult except to delay plant since i am guaranteed to lose the ult 1v1
His is ult is situational but i think its a bit more usefull since u can bring awpers, shotguners, defusers or planters, general cancel any ult, and i think u have more cover than ur opponent so u can make them flick to when walls are down.
Yea its weird only two duelist that do that….. and iso feels weak imo….. only his ult seem ok….. They should copy cod black ops. The rope guy Grapple hook 2 charges like raze U can latch to roofs/walls and it pulls u to the location…. maybe make ult tether. And it tags 1 or more opponents like deadlock but to closet wall and ur gonna isolated there. And shows beacon where enemy was hit Or just again copy cod Ult, he jumps high SLAMS groud. If anyone close - death, out side small radius send ripples, knocks people up into air real fast…. (No stun or anytning just knocks up) That be a dope duelist
ye too bad, I was hoping something like yoru but this guy is more of a reyna. I guess cool "out of the box" stuff can only happen when the guy who created yoru and neon, does the deeds
His ult doesnt always get you 150hp if you get damaged, it gives the amount of hp you started the round with. So it can give 125hp or 100hp too. Also your weapon will have full ammo too and you keep that if you win
@@Tabie. Also one more thing, if you win the ult you will return to your original hp so if you go into the ult with 60hp you will comeback with 60hp no matter if u survived with two or didnt get hit at all
He seems like more of an initiator than other duelists so in that sense he may be more useful in a team aside from just getting kills than other duelists.
the double tap doesnt give you "a second of invulnaribility", ... it gives you a shield that tanks the next dmg you take. No matter from which source. Could be a classic shot or raze ult... Id hope that guides like this actually know what they are talking about.
only 2 things he can do for the team is the part you talked about with stopping a plant or defuse the other is his wall other team members can follow the wall in aswell so give space
No one is mentioning this agent will be stronger against phantom users considering phantom might take 2 shots to kill depending on range and now with his armour it will take 3 shots
@@SGPandora that's actually sad. That guns pick rate at that elo is next to none. Why carry a gun that can't one tap instead carrying a gun that takes two shots. Phantom is a low elo gun. What's your gamertag?
I hate this ult. Postplant stuff needs to take skill or knowledge to get. Getting someone off a defuse just by shooting it in their general direction is ridiculous
What happened with our agent in the pov of others when we got caught in his ult? Like are we gonna disappear and reappear like phoenix ult or stay still like astra or what
1. I don't think his shield would stack. 2. You can shield first before Isolating another enemy. 3. Both targets are suppressed, no abilities can be used while domain is active.
I think if ever they want to balance this new guy, they better be make that wall breakable but hard as solid sage wall Anything else is good already the ult its really unique there are a lot of approach can be done in a 1v1 situation like that I was also thinking the 1 damage invincible kind of busted, but most of duelist agent always had that one ability for the dire situation Like dash and dismiss
There's no point for the wall to break since it's so fast that emptying your Vandal leaves you vulnerable very quickly. The ult is really OP for smurfs but in high ranked, it's not that good since it becomes a 50/50 fight. The fragile ability is alright but nowhere near as good as a full on flash. This agent is literally just a skill diff agent, a Reyna 2.0 you can say.
@@LeniusRiven you're actually correct on being reyna 2.0 since if the user is on point, he literally become a monster That can debuff the enemy and being unkillable with one bullet multiple time
it is really strong, but not only he have to kill (or assist) he have to shoot something first. Basically really good at low-mid rank where spacing are kinda bad. But not that great at higher rank.
@@LeniusRivenhis ult is good for challenging people with alternative guns. And you get the added benefit of having extra cover which makes it more difficult for your enemy to take a gun fight, it also counters ults like raze or sova. It’s still kind of mid
If looking at that moving wall made u blind it would have been awesome and broken as well. Moving wall + flash at same time would have been an epic entry
True, if his double tap could make him invincible for the rest of the round and he got 9k money from the start of the match too. He would be the most EPIC agent in Valorant then
Ngl theres so many people saying OMG HES BUSTED or BEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME. I think he's balanced. Hes got a really good kit but a pretty mid ult. I say this because his ult is a 50/50 on who wins (not talking about the walls that pop up on iso's side compared to enemy's). Regardless, he has a good kit. His situation is similar to Gekko's, considering that he has a really good set of regular abilities (and the ability to reuse them infinitely other than mosh pit) and a pretty mid ult. His ult is mid because the detain doesn't last too long and to reuse it, you need to go where the enemies are and its hard to get a second thrash.
i recko iso is a bit like a reyna with the one tap ability but better for clutch situations, as his ult is like a 1v1 arena, which takes some skill (im silver and my aim is cheeks). i can see some nice combos with him. i feel like iso is good as an op counter bc of the double tap ability, allowing for overheating and really excels if you have below average aim (me), which also applies to the undercut ability, as it lowers health allowing for easier picks. overall, a solid agent but I think i think the ult is the only ability that takes some skill to use well
Do you just spawn where you where before do you get dpawn shield after the because in a post plant you ult and your mate camps where the other guy will respawn when you lose the 1v1
Yupppp, like the bomb continues to tick down. If u don’t miss your ISO ult you have SUCH an advantage in the post plant. Also if u have another teammate with u, u can legit just take the enemy into a 1v1 while your teammate sticks the defuse. It’s so OP in those situations.
Let's suppose I used ult when there are 3 enemies infront of me and I went into 1v1 after i kill in 1v1 then their teammates can kill when I respawn ??
well i think the undercut is kinda not htat effective because in pro play they usually aim for the head which is usually a one hit kill unlike blinds or damaging abitilies which secures that area of effect when using undercut its still a gamble
Wouldnt you have to be careful about using this ult though? Like whoever wins if only the opposite team is nearby they could just camp your respawn point to kill you when you respawn right? The double tap feels like a weaker harder to use Reyna dismiss. The only thing good looking here to me is the fragile ability. I dont normally play duelist though so it wasnt going to be for me either way.
His ult is literally a domain expansion
Your not wrong
but without benefits for you
his ult is literally just mordekaisers ult from league
Yeah domain expansion + Gulag from cod warzone
@@rezkyterence1696that 2 wall makes a big difference facts
his ult definitely gives advantage to himself, the targeted player has to flick much harder since Iso himself has the 2 walls to position behind
yeah but after all it is HIS ult, hes using HIS ult points so i think giving him a slight advantage is fair

Don't forget in the trailer there are patterns made of isosceles triangles, so three meanings.

his ult is not for stalling, you can tell riot knew and prevented it, the walls disappear after 2s or so
If you have trouble isolating 1v1s this is the agent for you.
Any controller can do it

Thanks for a summary video that quickly runs down abilities without the bullshit content grab
I am seeing an unlimited potential when Iso's abilities are paired with breach and harbor's abilities
I'm always hoping for movement agents so a bit disappointed. Still feels like a cool kit and a Reyna alternative.
nah fuck movement agents
Yea its weird only two duelist that do that….. and iso feels weak imo….. only his ult seem ok…..
They should copy cod black ops. The rope guy
Grapple hook 2 charges like raze

Cool agent, I wish his shield didn’t block headshots to balance it out a little bit
Huh? That's literally the main reason why that skill exists. Take it away & might as well rework his signature skill to entirely something else.
@@pisangijo419 negating an entire headshot is op though
@@cloroxbleach8425 my thoughts exactly, you can out aim tf out of the player but get shit on for it, I understand body shots n everything but idk
The idea is to let you tank a hit I like that it blocks headshots, adding more strategy beyond "aim for the head and click 5 times to win"
this is why i watch ethos, he is good with words and have nice nose
He seems like more of an initiator than other duelists so in that sense he may be more useful in a team aside from just getting kills than other duelists.
Ye that's why I like him.
Really Really lovely stuff
Ult is crazy . Good day to be an Aimer
the double tap doesnt give you "a second of invulnaribility", ... it gives you a shield that tanks the next dmg you take. No matter from which source. Could be a classic shot or raze ult... Id hope that guides like this actually know what they are talking about.
His e ability is gonna be so op on pistol round
AYO, MY NEW MAIN! Gonna practice this only
Thanks ethos
Really Really Lovely Stuff
this agents ult literally ruins my shotgun only playstyle, i hate it

How does Iso's ult look like from the outside?
Nothing, both players will disappear, and appear again if any of them dies.
why there is not a single video about, if the wall can stop utilities or not?

I think he'll kinda be like yoru. Mastered by a few but not really played all that much.
Personally I think he could use his ability to make enemies vulnerable so they could just be one tap for teammates
But what happens to his in game body, when he goes into the ult. Is he vulnerable like astra or omen?
pretty sure his in game body goes into the ult
@@theso6ever so he kind of goes off-map?
@@Ia10199 im guessing yeah
Iso ULT be like Mordekaiser ULT from LOL, taking one to a different dimension.
That ult looks so damn fun
If Iso ult the spike defuser, iso can buy the time right?
Let's suppose I used ult when there are 3 enemies infront of me and I went into 1v1 after i kill in 1v1 then their teammates can kill when I respawn ??
After the ult... how iso come back to the real dimension, what if the enemy already camping at that spot where iso suppose to be come back
That's skill issue
Imagine the fragile plus sova ult? The sova ult would 1 tap. Imagine that a main off rip on ascent?
Exactly
damn never ever thinked of me FPS game has some domain expansion mechanic, i thought it's just going to be in the some of moba games XD
what if his ult hit more than one person? is it like dealock ult (taking the nearest person only)
Whats happening when iso ult phoenix ult and it runs out of time is iso trapped 50 sec to death than? same for yoru clone?
instalock reynas gonna be on the rise again agents pretty much an initiatorl at this point
Bro straight out if jjk domain expansion
Wait what if ur In the últ when bomb goes off next to u
Do you need to have line of sight for iso ult?
what does it mean if the enemy you hit is fragile?
Can the bullets go through Iso's wall on the back side?
So basically if you try to defuse on a 1v1 situation against iso while he has his ULT, you are doomed
so lets say im playing Iso then I ult, if I lose the 1v1 in the ult do I just return back into the game or am i also counted as dead
well i think the undercut is kinda not htat effective because in pro play they usually aim for the head which is usually a one hit kill unlike blinds or damaging abitilies which secures that area of effect
when using undercut its still a gamble
Iso ult is like Mordekaiser ult. Just more op..
Anyone tell me, does it leave a mark on the ground when enemy got ulted by Iso so your teamate know where will the enemy return from the duel?
Love the hxh bgm xD
Finna be like Mordekaiser
What if Kayo, who is activating his ult, is brought into the arena by Iso
Basically the ult is the same as Moderkaiser ult
If there is another teammate after we used the ult and we died at the time same time the other teammate can clutch the round while he is defusing😅
And what will happen to someone who has been catched by ISO’s ult if, for example, Killjoy’s ult has been used on him(enemy) before?
That dimension will reset everything, make it a fair fight for both of them
if the ult ends and both die how will it be decided what team wins if they are the last 2 alive?
How do you counter the E? Go for the body I guess.
Does he have any other counters?
Using damaging skills, the wall only block bullets
@@matheusandradebragahis e is not the wall its the shield
Iso Ultimate is his Bankai.
The ult is going to stop so many defusers. Even if you lose the fight, they still won't be able to defuse in time!

Damn Mordekaiser ult .
Time to switch to cs2 🎉❤
HxH music giving me flashbacks
How looks the ult like a teammate??
Mordekaiser ult, interesting
Wouldnt you have to be careful about using this ult though? Like whoever wins if only the opposite team is nearby they could just camp your respawn point to kill you when you respawn right?
The double tap feels like a weaker harder to use Reyna dismiss. The only thing good looking here to me is the fragile ability. I dont normally play duelist though so it wasnt going to be for me either way.
Are ISO’s double tap orbs able to be claimed by teammates, or just him?
Obviously only him
do i have to use the double tap ability beforehand like a jett dash, or does it spawn for every kill like a reyna orb?
You have to activate it and you have timer, so is like jett dash
You use the ability before like a jet dash but then orbs spawn for every kill like reyna orbs until the timer ends
Does his undercut reveals enemy?
