• Best Valorant Agents in Patch 8.11

Although Harbor has some amazing vision-blocking abilities, his effectiveness is often debated among Valorant players.

PROS:

• Unique vision-blocking abilities

CONS:

• No flexibility

Astra has no competition when it comes to controlling large areas, and she helps immensely in strategic play. However, her need for constant team communication is often considered a big disadvantage.

PROS:

• Good in co-op scenarios

CONS:

• Difficult to master

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

PROS:

• Powerful crowd control
• Diverse abilities

CONS:

• Lacks mobility-enhancing abilities

Deadlock is a fierce and balanced Agent. However, her defense abilities aren't as good, and she's generally considered to be a less effective Agent.

PROS:

• Has the potential to be effective but only in the right hands

CONS:

• Difficult to master

Fade has interesting abilities, such as deafening her targets and impairing their vision. However, she's a very specific Agent who is extremely difficult to master, which automatically puts her in a lower tier.

PROS:

• Complex abilities and advanced tactics

CONS:

• Difficult to master

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

PROS:

• Neutralizing abilities
• Self-sustainable and resilient

CONS:

• Vulnerable when trying to escape
• Low utility for team support

Although Brimstone went through some nice changes in the last Patch - the spawned smoke now covers the area fully and the UI targeting was updated accordingly - he is too predictable to be put in a higher tier.

PROS:

• Strong area denial
• Excellent team player

CONS:

• Lacks mobility
• Predictable

Yoru is a master of misdirection and can create a decent amount of chaos during gameplay. However, it takes time and effort to master this Agent.

PROS:

• Excellent at flanking enemies
• Abilities for decoys and illusions

CONS:

• Difficult to master

Viper definitely deserves her spot in the B-Tier section! She is a solid choice, and she can cause massive damage using her poisonous gas and environmental manipulation. However, like many other Agents, she is difficult to get used to, and many players simply give up on trying.

PROS:

• Huge damage
• Area control and denial

CONS:

• Difficult to control

With her healing and tracking abilities, Skye has the potential to be unstoppable - if only she didn't require so much teamwork.

PROS:

• Healing abilities
• Map control

CONS:

• Limited defensive utility

Killjoy can not only gather information but also deploy a variety of traps to control the area, which makes her an extremely valuable Agent. Her weakness lies in her long set-up time.

PROS:

• Area control and denial
• Information gathering

CONS:

• Long set-up time

Iso is getting some of the most amazing buffs in Patch 8.11, and with almost all of his skills boosted, he has quickly climbed up the ranking ladder. He is expected to be better in the early stages of fights and in tight spots. Additionally, even if he loses his shield, if he scores a kill during Double Tap, his buff stays active, and orbs will spawn.

PROS:

• A shield appears upon finishing a 1-second animation
• Charges have gone from 2 to 1
• A kill reset added to Double Tap

CONS:

• Difficult to master

Phoenix is a remarkable duelist with a fiery personality. However, with Patch 8.11 on its way, he has now switched his position from an A-Tier to a B-Tier Agent, allowing the updated Agents to take his spot. Although he is often considered inconvenient because of his predictability, he still has the leading position in the A-Tier section.

PROS:

• Excellent healing abilities
• Great head-on engagement

CONS:

• Predictable

Despite the fact that Chamber is difficult to control and lacks team utility, he is an excellent choice in the right hands and has a lot of potential.

PROS:

• Teleportation skills
• Useful for aggressive play

CONS:

• Requires precise aim

Omen's aggressive playstyle is both a curse and a blessing; he gets more kills, but he's also at high risk in too many situations.

PROS:

• Versatile teleportation abilities
• Area denial and disruption

CONS:

• Difficult to master

Sage's healing abilities are definitely great. However, her lack of offensive abilities can leave her vulnerable, especially while she's healing, which is considered a great weakness in many cases.

PROS:

• Healing abilities
• Team support

CONS:

• Vulnerable when healing

Gekko is a great character, especially if you're a beginner and you want to learn how to play. Exploring Agents with multiple roles is the way to go! Unfortunately, he needs too much time to recharge.

PROS:

• Massive damage in a vast area
• Good team player

CONS:

• Long recharge time

Sova is a skilled Agent with a well-developed ability to gather information. A lot of players fall in love with this Agent once they learn how to control him. He might be difficult to master, but he's definitely worth the try!

PROS:

• Area denial
• Information gathering

CONS:

• Less effective in defensive situations
• Difficult to master

Clove is the perfect combination of aggression and tactics. They're also the first non-binary Agent in Valorant! Although Clove's abilities for controlling the game and supporting the team are left untouched, some other extra abilities that make them a strong solo player have been reduced. That way, Clove will be effective without being too strong when playing alone.

PROS:

• Abilities that surprise the enemy
• Information gathering

CONS:

• Duration reduced to 8 seconds
• Damaging assist time reduced to 6 seconds
• Unequip delay increased to 0.8 seconds

Raze is a great choice when it comes to breaking through enemy defenses. Since she is considered to be too unpredictable even when she has no team support, the developers claim that her speed can be reduced, so in the new Patch 8.11, she will have some of her power taken away to achieve more balanced gameplay.

PROS:

• Big damage
• Forces reposition of the enemy

CONS:

• Satchels no longer deal damage upon explosion
• Horizontal velocity is decreased
• Explosions are more audible

Cypher is a master of map control and surveillance. However, he relies mostly on static traps, which might limit his effectiveness.

PROS:

• Information gathering
• Area control

CONS:

• Vulnerable to enemy attacks

Reyna is a capable Agent with an aggressive playstyle. With the new Patch 8.11, she went through some massive changes to decrease her dominance, especially during solo play. However, she still received some great buffs, which didn't move her very far from her previous position as the best Agent in Valorant.

PROS:

• Quick reposition after kill
• Top speed increased to 12 m/s
• Duration of dismiss increased to 1.5 m/s

CONS:

• Limited utility for the team
• Healing decreased

Neon's sudden switch in tiers is perhaps one of the biggest changes that an Agent has gone through lately. With the new Patch 8.11, she moved from being a C-Tier Agent to getting into the S-Tier category. Her mobile combat skills will be significantly improved, and her slide will be smoother with no weapon errors. Fights around her wall will be easier, and there will be no more cluttering of teammates in one place.

PROS:

• Huge damage
• Straf speed is increased
• Max sprint speed increased to 9.11 m/s

CONS:

• Requires precise aim
• Difficult to master

Jett is an excellent duelist, suitable for fighting with knives. She is easily the best Agent in Valorant right now, considering the massive changes that were introduced in the game. However, her limited utility for the team is often considered a great weakness.

PROS:

• Exceptional mobility
• Diverse abilities
• Fantastic entry capability

CONS:

• Limited utility for the team
