Welcome to our guide on VALORANT's agent tier list! If you're wondering which agents are the best to play right now and which ones might not be as strong, you're in the right place. We've broken down the agents into different categories based on how good they are in the current game.

How to determine a VALORANT Agent tier list

In VALORANT, things change a lot because the game's makers, Riot Games, often update it. They add new stuff, make some agents stronger, and others weaker. It's important to keep up with these changes by reading the latest updates from Riot. This way, you know which agents got better and which ones didn't. Even if your favorite agent isn't the strongest right now, if you're really good with them, you can still win a lot of games. So, while it's good to know which agents are the strongest, don't forget that playing well with the agent you like is also key.
