Valorant cosplayer strikes like lightning as electrifying Neon Instagram: ariatamagotchi, Riot GamesNew Valorant Agent, Neon, has captured the imaginations of fans across Future Earth, with one cosplayer choosing to transform herself into the Filipino Duelist. Episode 4\u2019s addition to the Valorant fray, Neon, has barely stepped foot in the game and players are already head over heels in love with her. Combining pure speed and electrical energy to bring down her enemies in style, the fiesty Duelist may be lethal on the battlefield, but she\u2019s just a playful kid at heart. It\u2019s this softer side that appears to make her oh so popular. Perfectly blending all of these attributes into one spectacular cosplay is ariatamagotchi whose recreation of the fast and furious Filipino will have you trying to catch a glimpse. Valorant Neon cosplay shocks the competition \u201cI\u2019ve played League for so many years, and now Valorant every day,\u201d Aria told Dexerto. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely my favourite game right now.\u201d Being an official Content Creator, she \u201cwas lucky enough to see her [Neon] early,\u201d and that inspired her to put her cosplay skills to the test. It\u2019s more than just those cheeky quips and cobalt accessories that attracted her to Valorant\u2019s first Filipino Agent: it was the connection she felt with her. \u201cI think representation is so important; I am Asian, and seeing characters that are similar to me or even those that come from different backgrounds, is inspiring and exciting. Riot\u2019s character design team is incredible, and Neon is no exception. She\u2019s super fun to play too.\u201d Describing the cosplay process as \u201clots of hot glue, sewing, and blue hair spray,\u201d thankfully getting early access meant that she \u201cwas able to work pretty seamlessly.\u201d It turns out the hardest part was washing out the blue hairspray, which is something we can all empathize with \u2013 we all had a spray hair dye phase, right? Despite looking like something from James Cameron\u2019s Avatar for a few hours, it was all worth it given how perfect Aria\u2019s Neon is. View this post on Instagram Her deep blue hair is trimmed with yellow, pulled back into two adorable space buns, and her outfit has been perfectly recreated \u2013 armor and all. She\u2019s even drawn on those silvery arm and face tattoos, with Neon\u2019s band-aid stretching across her nose. \u201cFor the gold pieces, I used cardboard and Worbla,\u201d Aria explained. \u201cMy friend Sophie actually gave me her heat gun and leftover Worbla, as this was my first time using it. I then painted, and added details with Polska pens.\u201d However, the Worbla foam was no match for her, as she has \u201ca degree in 3D animation, so sculpting is something I enjoy.\u201d And we may see her using a lot more of it in the future: \u201cI have a lot more Valorant (and League) cosplays lined up!\u201d Whether it\u2019s a fan-favorite character from either Future Earth or Runeterra, we can\u2019t wait to see who she transforms into next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
