By Cailey Ives
Valorant Agent tier list May 2020 lists the best agents to win with following the latest patch update.
In an hour we're shipping a hotfix for Vanguard to +up its compatibility with cheat-vulnerable drivers. Most of the previously blocked drivers should now work. Some egregious ones will cause the game not to start but now very few will be blocked outright. Thanks for the feedback.

Valorant Agent Tier List May 2020: Who is the Best Agent in Valorant?
S Tier
- Sage: Sage is a given because of her healing abilities. If you don't have a healer on your team, you are already at an immediate disadvantage over the other team, unless they don't have a healer either. Her ice wall is great for sealing off the bomb, or your unwatched angles and her slow orb combined with Phoenix's fire or Raze's bomb are great easy-to-use attack combinations. And, her ultimate allows her to resurrect a fallen teammate, so you can't go wrong with that.
- Cypher: He is the eyes and ears of the map. His spy cam and trip-wires can give your team a massive advantage when used correctly, and his ultimate will allow you to see where every player is on the map.
A Tier
- Sova: If you have a Cypher on your team, you should have a Sova too. Sova's ultimate allows players to shoot three powerful bolts through walls, so if you pop Cypher and Sova's ultimates at the same time, you won't lose. He is easy to counter, but if you can use his arrows correctly, he is a great addition to any team.
- Omen: Omen disorients enemies and can teleport anywhere on the map. He is used for hunting down enemies on the flank and blocking vision, making him a great mix of utility and agility.
- Phoenix: If you are a former CS:GO player, you will like Phoenix because of his fire and flashbang. Phoenix is a great hero to have in clutch situations, and, when his ultimate is popped, he clones himself and returns back to full health a few seconds later.
- Raze: Once the OP agent, her kit packs paired with her ultimate can't be beaten. She has a powerful cluster grenade that can kill full-armored enemies in two hits.
B Tier
- Breach: His abilities can pass through walls but require a decent amount of game sense to use correctly.
- Brimstone: Brimstone has smokes and a fire grenade. His ultimate is great for securing a bombsite and countering Viper's ultimate.
- Jett: Jett would be higher if her ultimate were easier to use. If you are someone who can snap on an enemy's head, Jett is easily an S tier Agent. Her wind abilities allow her to get up and out quickly, away from enemy fire. When paired with Sage, Jett is a force to be reckoned with.
C Tier
- Viper: The only time Viper is good is when you use her ultimate on the bomb. But, usually, once you pop it and a Brimstone is alive with his ultimate, Viper is dead. So, only use her ultimate when you know Brimstone is dead or doesn't have his. Her abilities are almost useless.
