Pheonix buffs are the highlight of Valorant Patch 5.01's patch notes.

Valorant Patch 5.01 hit live servers Tuesday, July 12, and it's brought some long-awaited changes for Phoenix fans.

"We believe Phoenix's Curveball is the cornerstone of his kit, and as we explored adjustment options it became clear that Curveball being more powerful unlocks his kit as a whole," Riot Games wrote in the patch notes. "So we wanted to assess Phoenix in a world where Curveball is more competitive with the rest of the ecosystem to get a sense for the impact of the changes."

"We view Phoenix as an aggressive entry Agent, so the additional Run It Back and Blaze changes are intended to support his proactive intentions when taking space or fights early on into rounds."

In addition to buffing Phoenix, Patch 5.01 makes slight adjustments to Yoru and KAY/O, fixes a few bugs, and adds a new bit of smurf detection technology to North American servers. Provided the test goes well, the tech will then expand to the rest of the globe.

Phoenix

Curveball (Q)

Blaze (C)

Run it Back (X)

Yoru

Dimensional Drift (X)

"We’ve noticed you Yoru players having a bit of friction achieving the dream of setting up a master plan while in ultimate. We’re hoping these changes will reduce a bit of that problem, rewarding you for using your flash during ultimate, while still preventing unhealthy play patterns that leave enemies without counterplay," read the patch notes.

KAY/O

FRAG/ment (C)

NULL/cmd (X)

"KAY/O hasn’t had much of a quality of life pass since we’ve last had some changes so we wanted to reduce some pain and help you access more parts of the kit that haven’t felt as accessible," reads the patch notes.
