With each event, we are seeing new and different agents being played in terms of a team composition. This time though, the tables have completely turned upside down, and we’re seeing a total switch up in the VALORANT agent meta. Read on to see which agents are currently dominating the competitive scene with our VALORANT agent tier list.
S-Tier
Sova has been a top agent for quite a long time now, and with competitive play based more around gathering info, Sova is exactly what every team needs!
Jett’s usefulness has certainly been a controversial point. An agent like Jett, does not have any utility which aids the team directly, however in competitive play she is being used to get an easy entry kill with an Operator and dash away.
A-Tier
Brimstone is a very agent to use, with extremely efficient smokes, however he is best used in an after-plant situation. With Brimstone’s Molotov, combined with his ultimate ability, it’s almost a done deal for the enemy team, as they will be unable to defuse the bomb.
Cypher has always been a great agent, especially on the defender side, where he is able to hold down a site with all his traps and cages. On the other hand, Cypher is also useful on the attacking side, as you won’t have to be too wary of flanks with his traps lying around on enemy territory.
Sage being the main healer in VALORANT, has received many nerfs with regards to her abilities. However this was not enough to drop her down lower than A-Tier, as Sage’s healing and ultimate ability are extremely efficient and could switch up the game’s dynamic atmosphere.
Killjoy is the newest agent in the game, very similar to Cypher in terms of utility, but quite different as well. Killjoy’s turret can give you a clear indication of where the enemy team is, and the Nanoswarm can be used in hidden spots to deny an enemy Spike plant.
Raze has tremendous splash damage, and is very annoying to deal with, especially in very small choke points. The nerf she received a few patches ago has certainly affected her play percentage, but Raze is still a top tier agent.
Omen is undoubtedly one of the best agents right now. His flash is arguably the best flash in the game, and his smoke mechanic allows him to have more than 3 smokes in a round. On top of that, Omen can also use his ultimate when he has the Spike to plant in a safe position.
B-Tier
Breach was rumored to have a buff added to his utility kit in the very near future. Many teams haven’t been using him as there are way better options at the moment. Breach still is very useful, if played correctly, and also has a very good flash.
Phoenix is a wild card when it comes to picking him in a team composition. He is either very useful or very useless. Phoenix’s flash is not the best, however his Healing and Ultimate allow him to become the ultimate entry fragger.
C-Tier
Reyna has also been very controversial in terms of her efficiency in a team. Her main utility is her Leer (Flash) which blinds all that look in its direction. If used well, it can be extremely annoying to deal with, especially with the rest of her utility. However in the highest level of VALORANT, everyone has great aim, and so Reyna won’t be too useful.
D-Tier
Viper has certainly been the most disappointing agent out of all. Despite her latest Buff to her signature ability, Viper’s kit is still too under powered, and she needs an overall re-haul of her abilities.
VALORANT Agent tier list – Summary
That’s it for our VALORANT Agent tier list. As you can see, there aren’t many terrible agents in the pool currently. Jett has been extremely annoying to deal with, and Sova is the ultimate info gathering agent. Riot Games have still not revealed what they will be doing to balance out the agents. However we can expect a statement from them very soon.
