Riot builds each agent under an internal codename before the character exists — Breach was developed as “Breach”. The codenames survive in the game files long after release.
Playing Breach
Breach has 4 usable abilities per round. Two are bought with credits and lost on death, which means an eco round genuinely changes what Breach can do — not just what gun you hold.
The habit that separates good initiators from bad ones is spending abilities rather than saving them. They don’t carry over between rounds, so an unused ability at the end of a round is credits you set on fire.
