In the recent 2024 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), we saw the release of a new agent named Vyse. She is the sixth sentinel and has that amazing ability to conjure steel or metal veins. The whole theme of the VCT was meant to showcase Vyse, and we can finally witness her abilities.
But, one thing that has been bothering most people is her Shear ability, which is also called the Steel Wall ability of Vyse. How to counter it? What’s the scenario and so on? Most also recommended that using a clone from a hero like Yoru can activate it. Is this the case? Well, in this guide, we will be sharing with you details on Can a Yoru Clone Activate Vyse Shear Wall Ability? Let’s get started!

What is Vyse’s Shear Wall Ability?
Vyse can place a wall trap that activates later when any enemy character passes the line. Upon passing, the wall activates for an exceptionally short duration, cutting that enemy hero from the rest of the teammates.
This is not the good part. The good part about the wall ability of Vyse is that it can’t be attacked or destroyed, unlike Sage’s wall or Deadlock’s traps.
The only way is to wait till the wall disappears itself. So, the question remains. Can the clones actually activate the wall to counter Vyse’s Wall?
Can a Yoru Clone Activate Vyse Shear Wall Ability?
No, Yoru’s Clones can’t activate the Vyse’s Shear Wall ability. Only the real enemy hero can activate the Vyse’s Wall, making it exceptionally hard to counter, but you surely can counter it. Here’s how!
How to Counter Vyse’s Shear Wall Ability?
When you come close to the wall, you can just jump forward and then make a U-turn in the air. It is more like a jump-peak that players perform to check players on corners, gaining their intel.
But, you have to keep in mind that it should be done as quickly as possible, because the time to activate the wall is exceptionally short as well, just like its overall duration.
- Come close to the wall
- Jump forward, and then while in the air, move back
- You can also bunny hop in and out of the wall before it activates

Conclusion
The new hero or sixth agent in Valorant is amazing. She has a unique set of abilities that can trap enemies or make their primary weapons locked. One of her abilities named “Shear” allows her to put a wall trap that can be activated by a singular enemy passing the line. Then, they get trapped, as it creates a wall on the back that can’t be destroyed. You can’t use Yoru Clone to activate the Vyse’s Wall, but you can quickly bunny hop, and jump in and out to activate the wall, countering it in return. Happy Gaming!
