You know, VALORANT s a high-fidelity tactical shooter that features a wide variety of characters, known as Agents. Even while the majority of players want to perfect a certain Agent, understanding which of them is the strongest for the current meta is crucial Here are our rankings for the most strong agents to play on patch 5.10, in case you're having trouble deciding which agents to choose or simply want to have a better sense of the current meta.

Before diving into the list, you should know that Riot Games is always striving to balance the overpowering Agents while also updating the weak ones in order to make sure that every Agent in the game is viable for a variety of scenarios and circumstances in Valorant. Therefore, to learn about all the new hero changes and balance tweaks, be sure to read the most recent patch notes Although it does lean more toward organized team play than trying to carry it out alone, this is a basic list that is supposed to be beneficial whether you're playing solo or with a squad. So let’s start;

Here’s the current VALORANT agent tier list to play on patch 5.10:

  • S-Tier: Jett, Chamber, KAY/O, Viper, Fade
  • A-Tier: Raze, Sage, Sova, Omen, Skye, Brimstone
  • B-Tier: Killjoy, Astra, Cypher, Neon, Harbor, Breach,
  • C-Tier: Reyna, Yoru, Phoenix

S-Tier agents are either much more powerful than their contemporaries, adaptable to different maps, or a combination of the two. These characters are the pinnacle of what the Duelist, Initiator, Sentinel, and Controller roles have to offer in the game.

For any player who wants to grab an initial kill without getting traded, Jett and Chamber are both the best options. Additionally, Jett is an attack-sided behemoth with improved mobility, while Chamber offers more firepower and map control. Two of the most effective initiators are KAY/O and Fade, who have utility kits made for gathering a lot of information and crippling opponents as well as ultimates that can support a recapture or site execution on their own. The most useful controller is Viper since she can set up barriers, block angles, refuse defuses, and utilize her ultimate to take control of a whole site.

Jett

In many respects, Jett is still the go-to agency for farming today. Jett is the preferred entrance fragger for most despite having her wings clipped, requiring her to pre-activate (E) Tailwind before she can sprint away.

Chamber

A S-Tier agent cannot be defined by their sartorial taste and pure drip factor, but the dapper Frenchman has the substance to more than support his flair. Chamber may adopt aggressive stances that other agents would legitimately be sanctioned for and get away with it because of his ability to choose battles, win them, and teleport away in a heartbeat. Due to (Q) Headhunter and (X) Tour de Force saving him additional credits while offering powerful firepower on eco rounds, Chamber is also an eco monster.

KAY/O

When used correctly, KAY/O is tremendously potent. KAY/O has more than enough tools to start one-man pushes thanks to a combination of flashes and suppression, especially when he triggers (X) NULL/CMD.

Viper

Viper is a Controller that can not only slow down an opponent site take, but can actually lock down a site pretty much by herself with her ultimate, (X) Viper's Pit. Viper's potent poisons degrade foes who travel through them and render them prone to absorbing higher damage for a brief period. Depending on your preferred playing style, she is highly adaptable. If you'd rather take a back seat and play along with the squad (and are familiar with your lineups), you can stick together. The more daring Viper, like other agents who don't required to be there to use their utility, can simply turn off her utility early and start skulking for shifting foes.

Fade

Fade is a versatile Initiator who, in the proper hands, can pick up a lot of kills thanks to his diverse kit, which includes abilities to anchor adversaries to a spot, induce decay effects, and highlight their whereabouts. Her (C) Prowlers may pursue and blind enemies, providing you or a teammate a chance to move into position or score an uncontested kill. Learning a couple (E) Haunt lineups on each map will also be helpful because it marks adversaries and leaves a trail that points to them.

A-Tier: Raze, Sage, Sova, Omen, Skye, Brimstone

A-Tier agents are extremely valuable to the majority of compositions on most maps, if not all of them. With her paintcan grenades and Boombot, Raze is a disruptive force that can draw adversaries from corners. With her delays and wall, Sage may have a significant degree of map control. She can also change the course of a round with a well-timed heal or resurrection.

Omen and Brimstone are both incredibly strong controllers in their own right: Omen's blinding and teleportation abilities are unmatched among controllers, and Brimstone's post-plant ability is one of the finest in the whole game. Even now, Sova and Skye make great initiator choices. Skye may stalk the other team with her onerous information-gathering skills, while Sova is designed for scouting and sniffing out hostile setups.

B-Tier: Killjoy, Astra, Cypher, Neon, Harbor, Breach

When handled appropriately, these agents can offer a good amount of value. Killjoy and Cypher excel in securing a site with their defensive usefulness, but they don't have as much to offer on the offensive side in terms of reaching places securely. However, both their assault and defense may benefit greatly from their ultimates. The improvements made to Cypher in Patch 5.10 are excellent, but they don't put him in a higher rank. In the wrong hands, Neon has the potential to be a catastrophic threat. On levels like Breeze and Fracture, her combination of speed and firepower is very effective. Any defensive may be be overpowered by Breach's usefulness, especially on maps with smaller spike locations like Fracture and Haven. Astra's dual-edged sword ultimate degrades her ranking in comparison to other controllers, yet a team can still benefit from the reach of her stars on a global scale. Harbor may benefit from having a bit more offensive prowess than other controllers, but he's still a highly useful agent.

C-Tier: Reyna, Yoru, Phoenix

Although no agency in the field is absolutely useless, these agents often don't offer the greatest value to a club. This is because the players on these agencies are more likely to want to make plays on their own that don't benefit the team as a whole because these agents are very adept at supporting themselves. Reyna, Phoenix, and Yoru have the potential to be a carrying force, but only if the player controlling each of them plays exceptionally well individually. They can all play blind and independently, and Reyna and Phoenix can support themselves, but they don't offer much to the team overall, at least not in comparison to other agents.

It goes without saying that the meta will change with each and every update, so be sure to check metas back regularly to see how the game's agents are doing.
