Valorant: Every Agent Ranked From Worst To Best

Sage is the glue that holds your team together. As Sage, you play as the backbone to your team; healing them when they get low, reviving them when they fall, blocking off the opponent and slowing them to allow your team to pick up the k


Currently in the closed beta, Valorant ranking guide has ten different characters to choose from. All of these characters fit into one of four roles: Duelist, Sentinel, Initiator, and Controller. While each character plays drastically different, they still each accomplish the basic function(s) of their role. (Or should, in the right ha


The ability that drew the bulk of the ire Raze's way back before the nerf, Paint Shells, is a cluster bomb; it explodes in an initial radius, dealing damage to the unfortunate souls caught in the blast, but then scatters out four smaller explosions, all but ensuring the demise of the unlucky enough to have been in the center of the blast to begin w


As the latest Sentinel added to Valorant Competitive Guide , Vyse has an excessive focus on holding sites compared to any other Sentinel released so far. All the abilities of Vyse help her to execute a pre-planned strategy, making it difficult to use Vyse effectively in attacking rounds before planting the Sp


While this isn't usually going to completely eviscerate enemies outright, those that are already hurt are going to need to head for the hills when this comes out. And even if you don't kill an enemy with this, their lower health is going to make the eventual gunfight that much eas


Although many people argue that duelists are weak in the current state of the game due to their lack of utility, a skilled Jett player can silence the haters in a cloud of head clicks and dashes. Jett is the ultimate skirmisher; she can jump, dash and float around her enemies, setting up highlight reel plays. She can create clouds of smoke which block vision, and her ultimate allows the player to send a flurry of throwing knives which kills instantly on headsh


While being one of the latest Sentinels to be added to Valorant , Deadlock also remains one of the least effective Sentinels in the game, as most of her abilities can be countered quite easily. Except for Deadlock's X-shaped Barrier Mesh blocker, which is her most powerful ability, the rest of her skills are not powerful enough to challenge the oppon


A Short – Near the rugs remains a solid spot to place the Spycam, however, Riot Games seems to dislike the area for this use. We have already seen this changed in a recent patch, partly as an exploit, partly for being too difficult to quickly and easily note where the Spycam is located.

Placing a camera at the above locations is not enough to make a difference on its own. The best Cypher players will be up to date on their map knowledge with each new patch, will experiment to learn which locations suit them best, and above all else, will use their mics to communicate effectively. A good Cypher can make games feel as though one were cheating thanks to the information made available, and this is something every player should learn to do, even if not planning to play the agent exclusiv


Sage is one of the few Agents in the game who can heal other Agents, which significantly raises her value. She can entirely stop team push by enemies with her slows and her wall. On top of this, her ultimate allows her to revive any dead member of her team, making the game essentially a


As VALORANT is still in beta, Riot Games is constantly working to ensure the game is working as intended by design, and this means patching out Spycam exploits on each map as they appear. As a result, each patch often brings map changes, some meant to help overall gameplay, but many with Cypher and his Spycam in mind. These and future patches should be observed closely to ensure the best Cypher play and counterplay. This guide will focus on patch 0.5, with the goal of thinking long-term about how best to use Cypher and his tool


Above A Screens #1 – We will mention this as one of the best places to place a camera, but we expect this to be patched out. Placing the Spycam here is not an exploit, but it provides such an abundance of information that it feels like a prime candidate for a nerf in the future. From here, Cypher can see spawn, screens, A Tower, A Main, and more. For now, this is a prime location to learn, but do not be surprised if in the future it is changed or removed due to simply being too effici


Sova is VALORANT 's ultimate hunter. The initiator wields a bow and arrow that when shot, reveals enemies in a radius around the arrow. He can also use his bow to shoot a shock bolt that creates a field of static shock upon impact. Similar to Cypher's spy camera, Sova shoots out a spy drone that he can remotely pilot to spot out enemies. Sova's ultimate is a near global ability, which damages enemies in a straight line across the entire


Brimstone's stim beacon gives him and his teammates rapid-fire, and his sky smokes block vision. Brimstone is the perfect agent for any player who wants to lead their team to victory through gaining positional advantages in fig
