Recently, RIOT noticed that the Tejo, Yoru, and Breach composition has been performing too strongly in the professional scene. In response, Valorant will implement reworks or nerfs to these agents in the upcoming mid-season update. Below are the full details of Valorant Patch 10.09:
Agents Balance Changes
Due to the standout performance of the Tejo, Yoru, and Breach composition, a nd following the previous nerf to Yoru, Riot continues to refine Tejo’s kit in Patch 10.09, aiming to streamline his impact potential while ensuring he remains balanced across all levels of play.
Tejo
1. Guided Salvo
- Cost: 150
- Mechanics Reworked:
- You now start each round with one free charge automatically granted.
- Each rocket fired will deplete one charge.
- The ability’s cooldown has been entirely removed.
- Range Adjustment: Map targeting range reduced from 55m → 45m, sharpening its effective window.
2. Stealth Drone
- Cost: 300 → 400
3. Special Delivery
- Cost: 300 → 200
4. Armageddon (Ultimate)
- Ultimate Points: 8 → 9
Breach
Veteran Initiator Breach receives a subtle timing tweak to answer concerns about reaction windows.
- Fault Line Fuse Time: 1.0s → 1.2s
What This Means for the Meta
When Patch 10.09 goes live, Tejo, Yoru, and Breach comps will take a major hit, especially the Tejo + Breach entry combo. From there on out, pro play and ranked matches are likely to revert to the classic Double-Initiators or Double-Controllers lineups.
Give Back Bundle
Give Back Bundle available on the store on Thursday, May 15th. You can buy Cheap VP on LootBar right now and get ready to purchase them.
Swiftplay Updates
In Swiftplay, it can be tough to charge your ultimate before the half ends. To help with that, a few agents now start with more ultimate points to make it easier to get their ults online.
-
Breach
Rolling Thunder starting points increased: 2 → 3
-
Killjoy
Lockdown starting points increased: 2 → 3
-
Viper
Viper’s Pit starting points increased: 2 → 3
Bug Fixes
In Patch 10.08, Riot fixed a visual bug with the Bolt skinline that caused the skins to glow more brightly than intended after equipping and inspecting the Bolt Flex.
After thorough photosensitivity testing, Riot determined the bug doesn’t pose a risk to photosensitive players. As a result, the fix was reverted, and the glow has been left in as a fun Easter egg.
Fixed an issue where Kill Banners for certain skins—Oni, Evori Dreamwings, EX.O, Prelude to Chaos, Mystbloom, and others—appeared smaller than normal after the first kill.
Conclusion
In Patch 10.09, Tejo’s toolkit now rewards high-tempo aggression but demands smarter credit usage. Breach remains largely untouched aside from that tiny delay, keeping him firmly in the Initiator’s seat without overshadowing his peers.
