Brimstone is a VALORANT agent, specializing in supporting allies and enabling fast site executes. Brimstone is unique in the way he uses the minimap to deploy some of his abilities, making him dangerous even if he's not directly present in the fight. He can deploy smokescreens that block vision, while his other abilities can boost allies' rate of fire and movement speed or create area-of-effect fire fields. The best Brimstone players have excellent utility timing and conservation, in order to fully capitalise off of the devastating impact of his abilities.
