Who is the best Valorant Agent? (UPDATED)

1-11

Valorant agents ranked from worst to best

Valorant -

Raze 11 — 11. RAZE: Oh, yes. We can feel the rage. The utter and complete outrage. How can we rank Raze at #10? Don’t we know she’s OP? Don’t we know that every dictionary ever officially changed their definition of overpowered to now simply state: Raze. We know. We saw. We hear you too. Also… we disagree. (Image credit: Valorant)

Omen 10 — 10. OMEN: Valorant’s resident edgelord. We love you Omen and, if you ask us, you really don’t have to hide behind that hoodie. So don’t take this personal, but for now, this is where we see you. In capable and creative hands, Omen has some serious, serious outplay potential. Some of Valorant’s best highlights to-date are Omen plays. (Image credit: Valorant)

Viper 9 — 9. VIPER: Oh, Viper. So cool, so slick, so poisonous. How can you not like her? Viper is a character that plays different from all the rest. She’s not for everyone, as she can be a little… toxic. Get it? Get it? (Image credit: Valorant)

Jett 8 — 8. JETT: Jett was arguably the most popular agent before the game dropped and the one displayed on most promotional art. Why? She looks cool as hell, duh. I mean, white hair and knives? Are you kidding? On top of that she’s got better moves than Jagger and is simply a slick experience. (Image credit: Valorant)

Reyna 7 — 7. REYNA: Reyna is the latest addition to the game and resembles a vampire in more than one way. Collecting orbs to heal herself or become invulnerable, she can even hide teammates from sight thanks to her ultimate. The latter also increases fire rate and decreases reload times.

Brimstone Agent Ranking — 6. BRIMSTONE: Design-wise Brimstone is not as flashy as some of the other characters in the game and that’s also reflected in-game. He's definitely more grounded and takes a more tactical approach to the game, and, surprise, that’s a good thing in a tactical shooter. (Image credit: Valorant)

Sova Agent Ranking — 5. SOVA: Sova is one of the agents in Valorant that is not blessed with superpowers but rather is using radianite-fueled technology: He’s simply a human with a superhuman haircut and eyebrows on fleek. (Image credit: Valorant)

Phoenix Agent Ranking — 4. PHOENIX: Are you ready for a lame pun? Alright, here goes…: Somebody call 911, because this guy is on fire. I mean, I’m sorry, but Phoenix literally is. He’s so on fire that even the top of his hair has a fiery tinge to it. We’ve all been taught to not play with fire, but in this case we’re gonna make an exception. (Image credit: Valorant)

Cypher Agent Ranking — 3. CYPHER: A 40’s noire design with a slick white fedora in contrast to breaking edge technology - it’s Cypher. He looks like he’s from a Cyberpunk detective pulp novel and plays like it too: Spycams and tripwires - outside of a video game he’d be creepy as hell, but within Valorant, he is one of the best agents.

Breach Agent Ranking — 2. BREACH: Alright, we finally breach the Top 2 with none other than… Breach. Ok, yes, we need to stop it with these tryhard jokes… But, still Breach is our #2 and is named for what he does best: Breaching the opponents defense. Nowhere is safe when Breach is around and in game that is so reliant on cover and strategy, someone that can disrupt all that is invaluable. He is easily one of the best agents in Valorant.

Sage Agent Ranking 1 — 1. SAGE: The award for ‘Best Agent in Valorant’ goes to: Sage. No, she’s not flashiest and playing support is not always the coolest role to play, but Sage is so incredibly important to every single team composition that she easily secured the #1 spot in our ranking.
