Since VALORANT’s launch in 2020, the game has had spectacular exponential growth, reaching one of the largest player bases in the esports scene.

Riot has been known for allowing players to choose different champions (in LoL) and, in the case of VALORANT, agents who have other skills and playstyles.

VALORANT’s Agents

In Riot’s FPS, VALORANT, there are currently 20 agents available, which can be overwhelming for beginner players when deciding which ones to unlock.

Here are the top five agents you can unlock in 2023 if you’re a newcomer.

Jett

All VALORANT players, regardless of their current level, cannot deny that one of the first agents they used was Jett.

The reason is straightforward, Jett is a very versatile agent who excels in fast-paced gameplay and close combat.

Her abilities are:

  • Smoke clouds to escape or avoid enemy fire.
  • Blade to take down enemies with ease
  • An ultimate ability that allows him to throw a shower of knives at enemies.

There is no doubt that Jett is one of the best choices for beginner players who generally have an aggressive play style.

 

Sage

Sage is a support agent whose main objective is to defend and heal her teammates.

Her abilities are:

  • The orb that regenerates the life of her allies.
  • A slowdown field on the ground is very effective in avoiding rush
  • A barrier that protects your team or blocks the movement of enemies.
  • Sage’s ultimate ability allows you to revive a teammate.

If you like to play in the support position, Sage is a perfect choice because, in addition to his excellent skills, every team needs Support in a game.

Cypher

Now, if you are more daring, you can unlock and use Cypher. This intelligence agent stands out for gathering information and placing traps around the map.

His abilities are:

  • A camera that allows him to see through the map.
  • Trap wire that slows down and identifies enemies that pass over it.
  • His ultimate ability will enable him to obtain information from the opposing team by targeting a defeated team.

If you are more tactical and like to get information to give to your team, Cypher is the perfect choice for you.

Phoenix

Phoenix is a fire agent characterized by self-sustainability and supporting his team.

His abilities are:

  • A firewall that allows Phoenix to block enemies.
  • A wall of fire that causes damage to enemies and at the same time can heal your teammates.
  • Phoenix’s ultimate ability is a ghost style, as, by activating it, you can eliminate your opponents without them being able to kill you.
  • He is also capable of throwing a flash to blind opponents.

Phoenix is an excellent choice for players who prefer a more aggressive play style but also value the ability to support their team.

Omen

Finally, we have Omen, an agent who stands out for being stealthy, performing surprise attacks on enemies, and controlling the map.

His abilities are:

  • Teleportation allows him to move quickly from one side of the map to the other.
  • Smokescreen that can be used to obscure the enemy’s vision.
  • An ability that allows you to take control of the enemies’ vision, blinding them during battle.

Omen is ideal for you if you are a tactical, calm, and patient player.
