Valorant Patch 9.11 is here, as it was officially released on December 10, 2024. It's worth mentioning that this is the last update for the year, which gives you plenty of time to finish whatever you've started before the ranked reset happens. The new Patch isn't as big as some fans were hoping, but it's as important as all the previous ones.

For example, Neon has been nerfed a little bit for a fair gameplay experience, while Vyse was finally buffed, which most fans have been anticipating for a while now. In this guide, we'll rank all Agents in Valorant Patch 9.11 from worst to best, so you can win every match. Let's get started!

Tier List Explanation

The 5 tiers used to divide all Valorant Agents are the following:

  • D-Tier – Weak and not recommended for ranking up
  • C-Tier Decent performance but with a lot of limitations
  • B-Tier Although lacking sheer power, they’re a solid choice in the right hands
  • A-Tier Overall strong and effective performance
  • S-Tier – The best Agents to rank up with

This list ranks all Agents from worst to best for Patch 9.11, following the order with D-Tier Agents being the weakest to S-Tier being the strongest.

Valorant Patch 9.11 D-Tier Agents

Harbor

Harbor's effectiveness is often debated among Valorant players, and currently, he is still at the bottom of the tier list, even though he has some amazing vision-blocking abilities.

Valorant - Agent Tier List Patch 9.11
Viper

Viper could be a solid choice since she deals massive damage with her poisonous gas and environmental manipulation. Unfortunately, she is too difficult to get used to.

Valorant - Agent Tier List Patch 9.11
Astra

Astra can control the area very well, and she helps a lot in strategic play, but she needs too much team communication to become effective.

KAY/O

KAY/O has neutralizing abilities, and he excels at pushing through defenses or taking charge of the team. However, he is often left vulnerable when trying to escape.

Valorant - Agent Tier List Patch 9.11
Breach

Breach might have some great advantages, such as his long-range stun capabilities, but he relies too much on coordination.

Valorant - Agent Tier List Patch 9.11
Fade

Fade has unique skills that can deafen her opponents and impair their vision, but just like many other Agents, she has abilities that are too specific.

Valorant - Agent Tier List Patch 9.11
Vyse

Vyse uses liquid metal to deal damage, and she's the newest character on the roster. Valorant Patch 9.11 increased the damage per tick of moving through Razorvine and boosted the equip speed of Arc Rose after cast. However, this wasn't enough to send Vyse to the higher tiers.

  • Gathers information only when the enemy makes a sound

CONS:

  • Vulnerable to enemy attacks
Valorant - Agent Tier List Patch 9.11

There's no one better than Cypher in terms of map control and surveillance. As long as you're careful when you're putting down his traps, you'll have no problem winning a lot of matches. The issue with the traps is that when you place them somewhere, you can't move them until they accomplish their goal.

  • Ult Cost increased
Valorant - Agent Tier List Patch 9.11
