The next patch update, 10.04, coming in a couple of days, will be a blessing for all the Killjoy players out there. Ever since Tejo was included in the game, Killjoy has not been having the best of times since all of her abilities, including her ultimate, are being countered by Tejo.
This is the first big update after Tejo’s entry, and the developers have now been able to spot the imbalances in the game after he came. He will be getting a major nerf in the upcoming patch. Along with nerfing Tejo, Valorant also makes way for Waylay in the upcoming update.
Tejo will no longer be able to shut Killjoy down
Valorant Masters Bangkok 2025 has been concluded, and T1 bagged the big prize, beating G2 in a nerve-wracking Grand Finals. Upon its completion, developers are now releasing a patch note with some important and well-deserved nerfs for the recently added Tejo.
Tejo, the recently added initiator, was causing a lot of problems for Killjoy players, creating imbalance in the game. Killjoy is currently of no use in the same game as Tejo since all of his abilities can easily target all of Killjoy’s abilities.
Tejo’s Guided Slave will now only deal 65 damage, will deal only 50% damage to objects, and will leave Killjoy’s ULT at 5 HP. This was a much-needed nerf since his presence was creating a lot of imbalance in the game. Players are happy with this decision.
Killjoy mains rejoice! (Tejo nerfs in 10.04)

Along with Tejo, a lot of other agents too are going to be getting some adjustments, including Clove, Deadlock, and Iso. The cooldown for Clove’s smokes has been increased from 30s to 40s, her healing duration increased from 8s to 10s, while their bonus movement speed has been reduced from 8s to 3s.
Deadlock’s barrier smash will no longer be free and will now cost 400 credits. Gravenet will also be going through some changes. Iso’s Undercut charges have been reduced from 2 to 1 with an increase in price from 200 to 300. After Iso’s shield gets destroyed, he will now receive a high penetration tag instead of wall penetration like before.
These nerfs might set up a good stage for Waylay
Waylay, the upcoming duelist in the next patch might benefit from these nerfs. This Jett x Phoenix hybrid from Thailand can take early entry and exit in sites using her dash and callback abilities.
She can get out of compromising positions with ease, which could be a great counter for almost all of Tejo’s abilities. There is bound to be some imbalance in the game after Waylay’s arrival.
After a new agent is launched, it takes a while before the imbalances begin to show, and only time will tell how Waylay will impact the game. Do you think Tejo deserved these nerfs, and are you excited to play Waylay? Let us know in the comments below.
