Valorant Agent Ranking: How Hard Does Each Individual Valorant Agent Play?

1-11

Valorant -

Valorant Viper default — 11. VIPER: She desperately needs a buff. The poison capsules are not enough to give beginners a good feeling with the snake-like agent. Viper's utility can hurt you and the teammates. This makes Vipers difficult to control. She is by far the hardest character. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Valorant Cypher default — 10. CYPHER: Cypher gets hyped up thanks to his utility. He can control an entire bombsite, they often say. Well of course he can if the player's at the skill level. Cypher's surveillance cameras and tripwires are incredibly important tools in clearing up the field, but inexperienced players can't necessarily do anything with the information gained from them.

Valorant Omen default — 9. OMEN: He is viable only for the edgiest of players. His abilities are not the most useful ones for the team. The teleportation is very strong, but with the enormous lag until you pull a weapon you are fair game. Also you need a lot of map knowledge. Otherwise the ghostly appearance is useless.

Valorant Reyna default — 8. REYNA: The vampire newcomer is as strong as she is difficult to play. Although Reyna comes with cool heal abilities, you have to get to use them first. After all, she needs soul orbs for that and they are only available after kills. If you don't have a "RUSH B!!!" mentality, the newest agent won't help you. We admit, after two weeks the assessment might be too harsh, but from what we've seen so far, we can say that she's no ordinary agent. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Valorant Breach default — 7. BREACH: Breach and his infamous Flash! You can imagine that he will have an important role in every roaster. The skills are easy to understand. You eliminate enemies with them or disable them for a short time - it's that simple. You could think so. Although the attacks are broad in scope, they have to be charged first, which can quickly cost a beginner the round. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Valorant Brimstone default — 6. BRIMSTONE: Brimstone is neither easy nor difficult. His skills will not always lead to spectacular kills like an Omen, but at least you CAN get a kill with Brimstone. His smokes and the Molly last the most, which at least gives some sense of security to new players. In addition, his ultimate can simply tear up a site. As a beginner his military abilities are easy to understand, but this is exactly what can be the downfall of an "uncreative" Brimstone player. (Source: Riot Games)

Valorant Raze default — 5. RAZE: When she was announced in beta, everyone was excited. As a fan favorite and with absurdly powerful abilities Raze has a strong arsenal. After all, she's not one of the agents you want to unlock immediately for nothing. But all the cool plays are not that easy. Sure, she looked strong in t he early days of the closed beta but since then she got some nerfs. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Valorant Sova default — 4. SOVA: Although he can be very similar to Cypher in his ability to get info, Sova is much easier to play. The Recon Bolt is a mega wallhack and even beginners should be able to handle it. It's the same with Sova's drone. Perhaps the biggest shortcoming is the use of arrows during his ultimate. While you keep the bow up, you are easy prey. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Valorant Sage default — 3. SAGE: We stick to it: Every Squad needs a Sage, and not only because she is a healer. Sage's Wall gives you so many advantages - for attackers as well as for defenders. The healing ability suits everyone, beginners and pros alike. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Valorant Phoenix default — 2. PHOENIX: He is Valorant's in-house firebender. He has earned his place at number two. He can be played like a combination of other agents, but his repertoire is still quite simple. A Flash and a Molly. The signature and the ultimate give you extra health and a chance to die twice in a single round. For experts and beginners alike, a Phoenix is easy to play. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Valorant Jett default — 1. JETT: The top of our ranking is Jett. With her simple skills, she is also the easiest to play Valorant agent. The blasts of air up or to the side take you anywhere. You also get a smoke and as a cherry on top, the razor-sharp ultimate. The floating knives replace any rapid fire or shotgun. That makes Jett our number one pick. (Image credit: Riot Games)
