How agent unlocks and Kingdom Credits work
Valorant agents unlock two ways.
Kingdom Credits — earned from matches and dailies — can be spent to activate most agents right away, but the per-agent cost means building a stockpile takes many games.
Alternatively, each agent has a recruitment window after release where XP unlocks them for free, after which they revert to the credits cost. New agents are locked for the entire playerbase at launch, so there is no shortcut except playing the games to bank the XP and credits. An agent unlock boost is meant for that grind — useful when a new agent drops mid-act, when you want a full role unlocked before a ranked push, or when you are returning after a break and the roster has outgrown your unlocks.
