In Valorant, there are currently ten available agents. Making a Tier-List is very tricky since the game is still in beta version, and the meta isn't really fixed yet. We can already establish a first ranking of the best agents. It should be noted that no agent is inherently bad. Some will simply be more complicated to play or more suited to certain situations.
This Third List corresponds to the characters that we advise you as players — as opposed to the Composition Tier List that we advise you as teams. The idea isn't to highlight agents who stand out by their individuality or their ability to act alone. The idea is to guide you by exposing the strengths and weaknesses of each agent so that you can find the one that best suits your gameplay.
Tier S
The "S" level of the Tier List represents the agents that stand out from the others in terms of efficiency, usefulness, versatility — and they're the most picked characters by today's best players.
Phoenix
Phoenix is independent and polyvalent. His abilitiy kit is a little technical but not complicated. He isn't the most obvious agentto master at first, but in good hands he's incredible.
Two flashbangs
Great to play duels and hold positions
Ability to heal
Can block area/accesses with his wall
Flashbangs are short and will surprise you at first
Phoenixis one of Valorant — formerly known as Project A — agents for Riot Games' new FPS. Here is a brief introduction to the character, his skills and abilities. Explosive fireballs, fire walls and phoenix ashes: he will do anything to postpone victory.
Sage
Sage is very strong and will be particularly suitable for beginners and players who aren't used to mixing gunfights and abilities. Rather suited for tacticians than real stalwarts, her set puts her in one of the best possible configurations for clutching. It's a popular choice for teams.
Perfect healer kit
Only real healer available
You have nothing in your kit to take over a line or attack an area
Sage is one of Valorant agents — formerly known as Project A — Riot Games' new FPS. Here is a brief character's introduction, her skills and abilities. She can heal allies and, more rarely, bring a teammate back to life through her ultimate.
Raze
Raze has devastating firepower with her kit. She can also take information and give herself boosts. She's relatively mobile and destructive.
Raze is the 10th and last known Valorant agent, new Riot Games' FPS. The young duellist will be perfect for attacking or recapturing sites thanks to her explosive gameplay. Her lack of discretion will be quickly compensated by spells that can inflict a lot of damage.
Brimstone
Brimstone will be perfect to carry your allies without necessarily a great aim. Rather for team leaders and strategists, his three smoke bombs are undeniably a great asset. Perfect for beginners.
Three smoke bombs that can be deployed precisely and remotely
Brimstone is one of Valorant agents — formerly known as Project A — Riot Games' new FPS. Here is a brief character's introduction, his skills and abilities. Supportive fire, smokes, and other incendiaries items: Brimstone stops ennemies, offering precious seconds to his allies.
Tier A
Level A of the Tier List corresponds to agents who are great but not as much as those mentioned above. They're potentially more difficult to handle or more dependent on their team. They remain safe choices.
Sova
Sova is the scout par excellence. He'll be very good in an usher role, conquering the biggest lines held by the enemies. His kit allows him to get good information, and his recognition arrow is an asset. However, you have neither control nor mobility; holding a site won't be easy with your kit.
Sova is an Agent in Valorant, Riot Games' new FPS (formerly known as Project A). Here is a brief character introduction, including skills and abilities.
Breach
Breach is here only because it takes time to understand the maps, the game and his skill set. He's a very powerful agent that is recommended for players of all levels. He will be almost necessary in a team.
Ability to open a site
Perhaps the best initiator at the moment
Pleasant and singular kit
A lot of contro that isn't necessarily easy to establish
Breach is the 9th known agent of Valorant, Riot Games' FPS. He is made for offensive attacks and will be the instigator of good site catches. His gameplay is mainly based on the use of walls through which he can blind, inflict damage or stun his enemies.
Cypher
Cypher is excellent in defense and in isolated places. His camera and his two traps allow him to get key information — allowing his team to kill enemies and win rounds.
Can play alone
Has a great control over the information on the map
Cypher is one of Valorant — formerly known as Project A — agents for Riot Games' new FPS. Here is a brief introduction to the character, his skills and abilities. Cameras, traps, and monitoring devices, Cypher is a master of intelligence gathering.
Tier B
Level B on the Tier List is for agents who are a bit left out, because they seem unbalanced or really hard to handle. Don't forget that it's still perfectly possible to play with them; their skill set will only make it a little less easy for you.
Viper
Viper is at the moment only rarely chosen by professionals. Her ability to control an area is very strong, but it probably still deserves some adjustments from Riot Games or a deeper grip from the players.
Viper is one of Valorant agents — formerly known as Project A — Riot Games' new FPS. Here is a brief character's introduction, her skills and abilities. Acid use, toxin cloud, and other toxic products are the key words of this lover of chemical warfare.
Omen
Omen is very technical and his kit can really be very powerful if placed in the hands of great players. However, it's not the easiest to handle and some of his skills can expose you a lot; you need to know when and how to use them properly.
Omen is one of Valorant agents — formerly known as Project A — Riot Games' new FPS. Here is a brief character's introduction, his skills and abilities. Highly mobile and capable of teleporting across the map, he will easily punish opponents out of position.
Jett
Jett logically has a flanking role. She needs to go in the enemy's back (or side) to surprise them. The problem is that her skills are very noisy and condemn her — in case of flanking — not to use it. In other words, any agent, at that moment, can do this role of flanking with as much success.
Jett is one of Valorant agents — formerly known as Project A — Riot Games' new FPS. Here is a brief character's introduction, her skills and abilities. Expert in evasion and above all very agile with kunaïs, she's the perfect assassin.
