Valorant Patch 13.02 Malaysia: Berapa Orbs Phoenix Ult Sekarang?
Published: 2026-08-07
Phoenix's Run It Back Now Costs 7 Orbs (Not 6)
Patch 13.02 landed on the Pacific server around 1:30am MYT on 29 July 2026 (28 July on Riot's US clock), and the headline change is a nerf to Phoenix's Ultimate. Run It Back now needs 7 orbs to charge, up from 6. All times below run on MYT (GMT+8) unless noted. That extra orb sounds tiny on paper. In a full attack half, it usually means a Malaysian duelist grinding Immortal on the Tokyo server from KL or PJ farms only one Run It Back per half instead of the previous 1.16 average, a 14% drop in Ult uptime across a Bo1, and closer to 22% across a full Bo3 if teams keep trading rounds. Boleh tahan for the enemy, painful for anyone whose flex pick is Phoenix. Whether or not the agent stays in your main rotation, REDX Game keeps the Battle Pass VP side simple while you rework the muscle memory around a slower ultimate economy.
Full Patch 13.02 Changelog Worth Knowing
Three real changes and one delay. Riot's official Patch 13.02 notes and Liquipedia's Patch 13.02 page both confirm the specifics.
- Phoenix Run It Back (X): Ultimate points required raised from 6 to 7. Duration, position lock, and resurrection behaviour are untouched.
- Retake mode rotation: Split, Corrode, and Lotus have been added on top of the launch pool (Ascent, Bind, Haven, Summit, Sunset). Eight sites now.
- AROS: Replication: The limited-time mode was pushed to an unannounced later window. Riot cited unresolved balance concerns during playtests.
- Bug fixes: Killjoy Nanoswarm audio bug and a Retake spike-carrier animation glitch resolved.
Riot described the Phoenix touch as a "small" tuning aimed at "the frequency with which he is able to cast his ultimate" (per the official Patch 13.02 notes). Translation: Phoenix's frag ceiling is fine — his cast frequency was not. Immortal players catching the meta shift usually burn through Battle Pass tiers within a fortnight, and REDX Game's DuitNow lane clears in one to three minutes for anyone who wants to skip Riot's 24-hour card queue on failed transactions.
Retake Rotation and VCT Pacific Timeline in MYT
Retake mode became a fixture in June with Patch 13.00, and 13.02 fills out the map pool. Split's tight A main and Lotus's three-site chaos give KL and JB players who queue Retake late at night more variety than the original five. Malaysian Immortals on the Tokyo server should see roughly 40–60ms ping to Corrode's tight garage angles, closer to home than most of the ranked pool.
On the tournament side, VCT Pacific Stage 2 is in its home stretch. Group Stage wraps up 9 August. Play-ins run 13–24 August. Playoffs take Sajik Arena in Busan from 27 August through the Grand Final on 6 September, with matches typically starting between 5pm and 11pm MYT. Paper Rex enter as defending Stage 1 champions, the same roster that placed second at Masters London, while d4v41 and Team Secret are the two teams Malaysian fans usually rally behind. Ipoh and Penang cinema watch-parties for the finals have already been teased on social. Riot's local partner has also confirmed a public viewing at Sunway Pyramid on the second weekend. Anyone stocking VP for the Champions Bundle drop can pre-load through REDX Game before finals night to avoid queue snags during the peak Sajik Arena viewing hours.
Soalan Lazim Patch 13.02
Berapa orbs Phoenix Run It Back sekarang di Valorant Patch 13.02?
Tujuh (7) orbs, naik dari enam (6). Setiap kill, assist, defuse, plant atau Ultimate orb pickup masih beri satu poin, jadi anda cuma perlukan satu lagi round yang produktif setiap half untuk sedia Ult.
Bila Patch 13.02 turun untuk player Malaysia?
Sekitar 1:30am MYT pada 29 Julai 2026. Server Pacific (Tokyo) turun lebih kurang 90 minit untuk maintenance sebelum patch aktif, jadi ranked queue di KL pun tumbang seketika malam itu.
Apakah map baru dalam Retake mode?
Split, Corrode, dan Lotus telah ditambah. Rotation penuh sekarang termasuk lapan tapak: Ascent, Bind, Haven, Summit, Sunset, Split, Corrode, dan Lotus.
Kenapa AROS: Replication ditunda?
Riot menyebut isu balancing yang belum selesai, tanpa memberi tarikh baru. Playtest awal menunjukkan mode itu terlalu mudah untuk kombinasi Reyna dan Chamber.
Adakah Killjoy masih meta selepas patch ini?
Ya. Buff besar Killjoy dari Patch 13.00 (Turret rate of fire +50%, Nanoswarm 4s ke 5s, Alarmbot movement +50%) masih kekal. Patch 13.02 hanya betulkan bug audio Nanoswarm, bukan angka.
Berapa RM untuk 475 VP di Malaysia berbanding Riot Store?
475 VP costs about RM 30 at REDX Game versus RM 33.90 on the in-client Riot Store — a RM 3.90 gap that adds up to roughly RM 23 over six top-ups per Act.
5 Adaptations for KL Ranked Duelists After the Nerf
Practical adjustments if Phoenix is your main flex pick:
- Take one extra economic round. Save two rifle rounds per half instead of full-buying every second. That one preserved orb often turns into your seventh point by round 8 or 9.
- Prioritise Ultimate orb pickups over hero plays. Sunset's Alley orb and Ascent's B Market orb are the two positions with the highest solo pickup rate on Pacific. Skip them at your peril.
- Play Run It Back safer. Because you no longer refresh mid-half, treat the first Ult as your one guaranteed swing round.
- Have a Jett or Iso fallback. Both duelists escaped this patch untouched and pair well with a Killjoy anchor after the 13.00 buffs.
- Top up before Act 5 drops. Battle Pass VP costs the same everywhere, but 475 VP for RM 30 through REDX Game DuitNow lands 1–3 minutes later, versus 24 hours if the Riot Store hits a card issue. Selangor players confirm the DuitNow route on Boost has stayed reliable for six straight months.
Senang gila to overcorrect on a Phoenix nerf; the agent is still a top-tier duelist and the KL ranked pool is already correcting toward Iso mains. Battle Pass momentum tends to snap back within two Acts once players relearn the seventh-orb curve. For anyone rebuilding after the reset, REDX Game's Valorant top-up ships VP in 1–3 minutes on MYR — no forex hit and no App Store 10% premium to swallow.
