The latest Valorant patch 1.07 brought some changes to the agents. In addition to the strong Sage nerfs, more disliked agents have been buffed, including Breach and again Viper, both of whom continue to lead a shadowy existence. But which agent is statistically the strongest at the moment?
In this list, we’ll show you the top five agents in terms of their WinRate in the latest Valorant patch – and a small spoiler: this list is quite surprising.
The strongest agents in Valorant Patch 1.07
5th Omen (Win Rate 50.7%)
Since the release of Valorant, Omen has been one of the most popular characters. His versatile kit makes him a strong agent both defensively and offensively. In addition, his Ulti makes him seem unpredictable to opponents. You should always keep an eye on his back when playing against Omen…. With the Valorant Patch 1.07 the agent was removed for a short time due to two bugs, but didn’t receive any changes beyond that. However, the strong Sage and Killjoy nerfs should have catapulted him further up the rankings. With a strong pick rate of 42.6%, he is winning just under 50.7% of his games.
4th Cypher (Win Rate 51%)
Cypher consistently enjoys a very solid player fanbase and can be just the right agent in certain situations. If you use your skills correctly, you have a lot of information about enemy positions and can exclude certain map sectors to create a superiority situation elsewhere. Like Omen, the more defensive character didn’t undergo any changes in patch 1.07, but definitely benefits from the strong Sage and Killjoy nerfs. With a solid pick rate of 25.4%, he wins just under 51% of his games.
3. Brimstone (Win Rate 51.3%)
With Brimstone you have more possibilities than with any other agent to make certain choke points permanently difficult to overcome. He can lay the most smokes of all agents at the same time and thus seal off a complete spot. Since Valorant Patch 1.04, however, he has lost some popularity after his Ulti was increased in cost from 6 to 7 points. On top of that, his playmaking abilities are only limited due to his solid but not very spectacular kit. Still, Brimstone is a true powerhouse and ranks third on this list with a Win Rate of 51.3%.
2nd Viper (Win Rate 52.8%)
For a long time, Viper was considered the sad duckling of the Valorant Agents. She could neither impress with a solid pick rate nor with a convincing win rate. Since patch 1.04, however, this has changed rapidly. Without exception, every one of her abilities received strong buffs from Riot, making her a much stronger opponent than before. With patch 1.07, she was strengthened once again. However, due to her very unfamiliar kit, she still doesn’t get beyond “pocket pick” status. Played correctly, however, it can become a decisive factor. With a win rate of 52.8%, she sits at number 2 on this list.
1st Breach (Win Rate 53.2%)
Admit it, you certainly didn’t expect this number 1. As far as Breach is concerned, opinions have always been divided. Celebrated as a game changer by some, some Valorant players might not even know him. The reason for this is probably his abilities, which need a more experienced hand to be used properly. With patch 1.07, Riot has made further improvements to the agent in order to boost its popularity. The success of this measure is questionable. With a pick rate of 9%, he is by far the most unpopular character and is probably only played by the Breach-Mains at the moment. This might explain his current win rate of 53.2%.
ValorantAgent
Agents are the playable characters in Valorant. Each agent belongs to one of four possible classes and has four abilities. In addition, almost every agent represents a country.
There are nineteen agents in total, although in the earliest versions of the game there were only eight. The rest were added gradually.
There are four different classes: Duelist, Initiator, Controller, and Sentinel.
Agents have one Signature Ability which they get free of charge each round.
The riot was meaning to send off the game with 12 agents, however, just 8 were accessible in the early press constructs. On March 29, 2020, a confidential occasion presented Breach. Since the Closed Beta send-off on April 7, 2020, Raze was added alongside the guide Split, bringing the Agent complete to 10. Five agents are accessible at the first send-off, with two more that can be effortlessly opened by stepping up in the game. More agents can be opened by taking Contracts and assembling XP on them.
Agents have base well-being of 100; Light Shields carry the most extreme well-being to 125 and Heavy Shields to 150.
It is the goal of the designers that another specialist be delivered around once per act. New agents require 12-15 months to create, and their plan is engaged around focuses, for example, what’s absent from the game’s current playstyles, are there any imminent thematics that present large open doors, and what’s required for better game wellbeing.
Roles
Every specialist satisfies one of four jobs, characterized by their capacities and playstyle:
- Controller agents are specialists in cutting up perilous domains to get their group in a good position.
- Duelist agents are independent fraggers who their group anticipates, through capacities and abilities, to get high frags and search out commitment first.
- Initiator agents challenge points by setting up their group to enter the challenging ground and push safeguards away.
- Sentinel agents are protective specialists who can secure regions and watch flanks, both on assailant and protector adjusts.
