VALORANT has become a major esport and has taken the world by storm. It has the right mix of shooting and abilities, and the maps are unique and challenging. No matter which character you choose or how good your gun skills are, the game also comes down to teamwork and coordination.
Choose the right character
There are currently 13 agents in VALORANT, each with different skills and uses. You have to choose the one that matches your style of play and to complement the rest of the team. Some characters thrive on pushing their opponents while others are more defensive. We've made a list of VALORANT characters with all agents and abilities, so you can decide which one is best for you.
Classes
Like a sports team, each player in VALORANT has a different position to play on the team. These are called classes. The four classes in the game are Duelist, Initiator, Controller, and Sentinel.
Duelist
Duelists are the attacking players and the first to fight. They often have offensive abilities that deal high damage or blind enemies.
Initiator
The Initiators have prepared the ground for the Duelists to attack. Their abilities are often ranged and can stagger or confuse enemies before duelists move.
Sentinelle
Sentinels support other players by blocking off areas or using their abilities to gather intel. A good Sentinel can often use their tools to lock down a site single-handedly.
Handcuffs
Controllers are experts in blocking areas to control enemy movement. Their effectiveness relies on misdirection, and they often have varied abilities that can work across the map.
capacity
Each agent in VALORANT has two abilities they can purchase at the start of each round. There is also a signature ability that charges as they play. Finally, each agent has an ultimate ability which is charged by racking up kills and interacting with orbs.
