Best VALORANT Agents on Bind

Bind, the desert town map set in Morocco poses challenges and opportunities for all types of VALORANT players. It requires an approach when choosing agents for optimal performance due to its tight corridors, teleportation routes, and strategic choke points.

Let us explore the agents who excel on Bind by looking at the current Fnatic roster that has one of the best stats on Bind out of all teams in 2023 with a 76.6% win rate. We will focus on the agents used in the 2 best and most-played setups of Fnatic with 81.5% (27) and 88.9% (8) win rates.

1. BRIMSTONE

Brimstone is often chosen among professional players on Bind as a Controller. His ability to deploy smoke screens provides teams with a tool to dominate the battlefield. The map's narrow passageways and confined spaces make Brimstone's smokes incredibly valuable for cutting off sight lines and disrupting enemy advances. Whether attacking or defending his smokes give players an advantage by obscuring angles. In addition to his ultimate ability, the Orbital Strike, the strike becomes particularly potent on Bind as it unleashes massive destruction onto targeted areas allowing for strategic plays.

2. RAZE

When it comes to Bind, duelists play a pivotal role, and Raze stands out as an excellent choice. Her explosive abilities perfectly complement the paced gameplay of the map. By using Blast Packs she can move across the map and initiate first contact with potential entry, creating space for her team. In the corridors and tight areas of Bind her Paint Shells are particularly effective at clearing out enemies. And let us not forget about her Showstopper ultimate, which allows Raze to effectively wipe out numbers of enemies within just one launch.

3. SOVA

As a powerful initiator, Sova truly shines on Bind with his information-gathering skills making him an invaluable asset for any team. His Recon Bolt covers areas and provides critical intel on enemy positions. In a map filled with angles and tight spaces, like Bind Sovas intelligence gathering abilities empower his teammates to make well-informed decisions. He can use Owl Drone to maintain control of the map by checking areas such as Showers, A short, B long, and Hookah, while the team is advancing to the main attack position. His ultimate ability also allows him to eliminate multiple enemies, being the most effective with the Recon Bolt ability.

4. SKYE

Sky is another popular Initiator choice on Bind. Her healing abilities ensure that her team can sustain themselves during engagements while her Trailblazer helps in scouting out enemy positions and disrupting their setups. On this map Skye's flashes, Guiding Light, are especially potent since there are close-quarters engagements happening frequently. When it comes to her Seekers ultimate, it provides valuable enemy intel that sets up coordinated pushes and retakes.

5. VIPER

As Controller, Viper thrives on Bind due to her abilities that give her control over significant areas of the map. Her Toxic Screen ability proves beneficial as it allows her to create barriers that facilitate safe passage across the main choke points. Furthermore, her Snake Bite ability can be effectively utilized for area denial during post-plants or retakes. Another Viper's valuable ability is called Viper’s Pit, which can greatly influence the outcome of rounds when playing as the attacker or manipulate enemies into unfavorable positions when defending.

6. BREACH

Breach is another popular Initiator among professionals on Bind, where causing chaos is crucial, and he also shines on two other narrow maps – Fracture and Ascent. His Aftershock and Fault Line skills are designed to clear out hiding spots and disrupt enemy setups effectively. By utilizing his Flashpoint ability he can blind enemies in critical areas providing easier access to sites. In a map filled with narrow corridors Breach’s ultimate ability, Rolling Thunder is a great weapon for eliminating multiple enemies at once and creating safe paths for the team to site.

7. CYPHER

Cypher thrives on Bind thanks to his surveillance toolkit. The tight spaces and choke points on Bind perfectly complement his Spycam and Tripwire abilities allowing him to gather information and control enemy movements around the map very efficiently, thus allowing the team to focus on different positions. As a sentinel with surveillance abilities, Cypher truly unleashes his potential for map control for the defensive side. With his ultimate ability, Neural Theft he can exploit the close quarters of the map to gain critical enemy intelligence and turn rounds in favor of his team.

8. JETT

Jett is a duelist with impressive mobility, which makes her a popular choice on Bind. Her ability to swiftly move around the map fits well with the paced gameplay. In combat situations, her agility and dash skills enable her to secure advantageous positions or make quick escapes when in danger. Jett's Blade Storm ultimate is one of the most effective and lethal in the game, especially in close combat in combination with Updraft and Tailwind abilities.

9. PHOENIX

Phoenix is another popular duelist on Bind. His Curveball is particularly effective in disorienting opponents and opening up entry points. Additionally, Phoenix's self-healing capability and his ultimate, Run It Back (which lets him respawn after being eliminated) provide him with the tools for aggressive plays and clutch moments.

10. OMEN

Omen's unique and versatile abilities make him a great controller pick on Bind. His smoke Dark Cover ability in combination with Paranoia (flash) can obstruct sightlines and confuse opponents in the narrow areas of the map. At the same time Shrouded Step and Omen’s ultimate ability, From The Shadows, not only allows him to control the map effectively but also gives him the opportunity to make significant flanking maneuvers and impressive clutch plays.

Conclusion

It is vital to pick the proper agent on Bind, as on any other map, and any of the listed above will be useful at both individual and team setups. If you play Bind with teammates in a full stack of five, it is highly recommended to use one of the two agent combinations of Fnatic (Brimstone, Raze, Sova, Vyper, & Skye // Brimstone, Raze, Sova, Breach, & Cypher) and look up some common and effective setups offered by them and other professional teams. At the same time, do not forget that Jett, Phoenix, and Omen can replace some of the agents with similar roles in most of the setups.
