Agent Explanations
S-tier Agents
Jett
Jett shines both on the offense and defense, creating opportunities for the team on the offensive side and excelling as an Operator and aggressive pusher in defensive situations. While recent nerfs affected her, her kit still holds tremendous potential for game-changing plays.
Omen
Omen stands out as the controller with a versatile kit for individual plays and team synergy. His ability to control angles makes him a valuable asset, especially in uncoordinated environments.
Reyna
Reyna, the ultimate solo queue agent, thrives on selfish plays and capitalizes on moments that other agents can't. In disorganized matches, her unique abilities to dismiss or heal offer significant advantages.
Skye
Skye's kit relies heavily on communication and teamwork, providing immense value in terms of information gathering, team setup, healing support, and self-sufficiency.
Killjoy
Killjoy holds the title of the most potent sentinel in Valorant at present. Her presence is essential on most maps, primarily for her ability to control critical points and maintain map control.
Raze
Raze, an exceptional duelist, can gather information independently, create space, and defend efficiently. Her versatility makes her one of the best duelists in the game.
A-tier Agents
Sova
Sova's utility offers exceptional value, especially in lower ranks where opponents often fail to counter it effectively. His ability to clutch rounds and make impactful plays is another feather in his cap.
Viper
Viper's dominance on certain maps, coupled with her post-plant utility, can spell doom for retaking teams. Her ability to farm ultimates adds another layer of power to her kit.
Brimstone
Brimstone's straightforward kit focuses on smokes and gunplay, making him a valuable asset for the team. His utility excels in post-plant scenarios, where slower retakes are the norm.
Phoenix
Phoenix's buffs have made him a more formidable agent across different environments. His kit caters to self-sufficiency and individual plays, though he might lack the ability to create space like S-tier duelists.
B-tier Agents
Astra
Astra's potential shines when coordinated with a team. Her abilities are challenging to wield individually but offer greater value at higher ranks.
Breach
Breach's strength depends heavily on coordination, making him a more valuable asset as ranks increase. His kit can disrupt opponents effectively.
Chamber
Chamber's viability is on the rise due to range increases in his utility. He can cover more ground, making him a more impactful pick.
Deadlock
Deadlock excels at stalling large pushes and post-plant situations. However, precise use of her abilities is essential for optimal effectiveness.
Cypher
Cypher's recent buffs have breathed new life into his gameplay. The tripwire enhancements have opened up creative strategies and provided players with new opportunities.
Fade
Fade's kit is user-friendly and facilitates team play with minimal communication. Her abilities can generate value without the need for precision, making her an excellent choice for coordinated plays.
Sage
Sage, often regarded as a glorified duelist, offers self-healing and strategic wall placement to thwart 5-man rushes, adding depth to team composition.
C-tier Agents
Harbor
Harbor shines in professional play with double Controllers, but coordinating with two Controllers in ranked matches is challenging. His utility largely revolves around vision-blocking, limiting individual playmaking.
Kay/O
Kay/O boasts a robust kit but saw significant nerfs. His utility excels in setting up teammates and works best in a coordinated team environment.
Yoru
Yoru's kit has potential but requires meticulous setup and team support. Other duelists offer more flexible movement, making them more suitable for capitalizing on teammates' utility.
Gekko
Gekko's kit lacks compelling features compared to other Initiators. His unique advantages include passive spike actions and the ability to retrieve his utility for shorter cooldowns.
Neon
As a duelist, Neon relies heavily on teammate support and struggles to excel on most maps, except for Fracture and Pearl.
