In first-person shooters, an Ace indicates the respective player killed all the enemies in a given period of time (a round, a timed challenge, and so on).
Valorant introduced a new term: Team Ace. If you’re wondering what a Team Ace is, keep on reading this guide to learn more.
What Does Team Ace Mean in Valorant?
In Valorant, a Team Ace indicates that all 5 members of your team killed one enemy during a given round.
Long story short, you get a Team Ace when every team member gets a kill. You get an Ace when a single player gets 5 kills.
What happens when the enemy team has less than 5 members?
Well, if each member of the enemy team is killed by a different member of your team, you can still score a Team Ace. This is valid only if the enemy team entered the match with less than 5 players. If one of them disconnected shortly after the game started, your team can no longer score a Team Ace.
In other words, you still qualify for a Team Ace if the enemy team died by a different player on your team. If your team has 5 players and the enemy team has 4 members, but all of them are taken down by a different member of your team, it is still possible to get a Team Ace.
Agent Sage has a unique capability
There is one special agent that the ability to resurrect dead team members. That’s right, that’s Agent Sage. So, if one of your team members is taken down, she can bring them back.
This makes six-kill Team Ace possible. If the enemy team’s Sage revives a dead team member and your team manages to kill them all, you’ll still get the Team Ace.
And now you know.
