Best agents in VALORANT: Ranked tier list

If you’re looking to master a new agent or just want to keep up with the in-game and esports trends, our VALORANT agent tier list, built upon the current agent meta and competitive map pool, is exactly what you need.

The diverse roster of VALORANT offers 27 playable characters or agents as of Season V25, Act Two. They’re divided across four strategic roles: Duelist, Initiator, Controller, and Sentinel. Riot Games adds new characters to this roster periodically and tweaks existing agents to keep the meta balanced. As a result, new trends, including agent mechanics and map-specific strategies, tend to emerge every few weeks, shuffling everything up.
