Cypher vs Vyse Fragging Analysis
Vyse claims 4 out of 5 fragging metrics in the Cypher vs Vyse matchup, establishing clear mechanical superiority with advantages in KDA efficiency, kill production, survivability. Our analysis of 11 ranked games reveals Vyse consistently outperforms Cypher in direct combat scenarios. While Cypher manages to win the remaining metric, the overall picture favors Vyse in gunfights. Cypher players should play around their one strength while minimizing exposure in areas where Vyse dominates.
Avg KDA
1.22Cypher
1.43Vyse
Vyse holds a slight KDA edge in this matchup, recording 1.43 compared to Cypher's 1.22. While this 0.22 point difference indicates Vyse tends to come out ahead in engagements, the gap remains small enough that skilled Cypher players can overcome it through superior positioning, utility timing, or simply winning crucial aim duels. The data suggests Vyse's kit may offer marginally better tools for securing kills while staying alive, but Cypher players shouldn't feel disadvantaged when taking fights in this matchup.
Avg Kills
15.7Cypher
16.2Vyse
Kill production between Cypher and Vyse is virtually identical, with Cypher averaging 15.7 kills per game and Vyse securing 16.2. This parity suggests both agents are equally capable of finding frags in this matchup, and round outcomes depend more heavily on objective play, utility usage, and team coordination than raw elimination numbers. Players should focus on impactful kills — entries, clutch situations, and trading — rather than simply padding their kill count.
Avg Deaths
15.5Cypher
14.3Vyse
Vyse demonstrates markedly better survivability against Cypher, recording 14.3 deaths per game versus 15.5. Dying nearly 1.3 fewer times per match gives Vyse significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in clutch rounds, and more economic stability from staying alive. Cypher players face a survival deficit that compounds throughout a match, making disciplined positioning and smart disengagements crucial.
DMG/Round
134.9Cypher
144.3Vyse
Vyse applies 9.4 more damage per round than Cypher in this matchup (144.3 vs 134.9 ADR). While not overwhelming, this gap compounds meaningfully over a full match: Vyse contributes noticeably more chip damage, assists, and near-kills that set up teammates. Cypher can close this gap through better trading patterns, ensuring their damage leads to actual eliminations rather than just tagging opponents who then escape or get healed.
HS %
33.6%Cypher
32.6%Vyse
Cypher lands headshots at a slightly higher rate (33.6% vs 32.6%), providing a modest but meaningful advantage in time-to-kill during duels. This 1.0 percentage point edge translates to Cypher more frequently one-tapping or two-tapping opponents before Vyse can fully react. Vyse players should counter this by avoiding predictable angle holds, using movement to throw off Cypher's crosshair placement, and prefiring common positions to negate the accuracy gap.

Attack Side Breakdown
Vyse significantly outperforms Cypher on attack side, achieving a 56.7% round win rate versus 49.6%. This 7.1 point disparity reveals Vyse as the clearly superior offensive agent in this head-to-head, with advantages that Cypher cannot easily overcome through individual skill alone.
Based on 11 matches analyzed, Vyse dominates attack-side scenarios through multiple vectors. Entry success rate, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all favor Vyse significantly. Cypher teams must make structural adjustments to their attack approach: rely less on Cypher for key fragging roles, design executes that minimize Cypher's direct engagement with Vyse, and consider how team composition can cover Cypher's offensive weaknesses. Simply "playing better" isn't enough to overcome a 7.1% gap.
Cypher should avoid entry fragging roles against Vyse whenever possible. The data clearly shows Vyse wins a disproportionate share of first contacts on attack. Cypher players should volunteer for support roles — flashing for teammates, trading entries, or lurking to create map pressure without direct Vyse confrontation. If forced to entry, wait for maximum utility support and ensure a trade is guaranteed. Vyse can and should take aggressive entries, knowing statistical backing supports confident play.

Post-plant scenarios heavily favor Vyse in this matchup. Cypher struggles to convert spike plants into round wins at the same rate, whether due to weaker defuse denial, inferior retake resistance, or less effective post-plant positioning. Cypher teams should never leave Cypher alone in post-plant — always have teammates nearby for crossfires and trades. Consider giving the spike to a different player when possible. Vyse should recognize their post-plant dominance and play for spike aggressively after site takes.
Defense Side Breakdown
Vyse substantially outclasses Cypher on defense, achieving 50.4% round wins compared to 43.3%. This 7.1 percentage point gap indicates Vyse excels at core defensive tasks — anchoring sites, gathering information, stalling executes, and contributing to retakes — at a level Cypher cannot match.
Cypher should never solo anchor against Vyse. The 7.1% defensive gap makes isolated site holds extremely unfavorable for Cypher. Instead, pair Cypher with a teammate, give them off-site positions that allow early rotates, or have them play supportive roles that don't require extended site holds. Vyse should actively anchor difficult sites, knowing their defensive capabilities significantly exceed Cypher's.
Retake dynamics heavily favor Vyse. When Cypher needs to retake against Vyse, success requires overwhelming numbers and utility coordination — never attempt equal-number retakes and absolutely avoid solo retakes. Vyse should play post-plant positions confidently, knowing Cypher struggles to clear them effectively. In clutch scenarios, Vyse has a significant statistical edge that Cypher cannot overcome through individual skill alone.
Economy management becomes critical for Cypher in this matchup. Force buying against Vyse is mathematically unfavorable — the defensive gap compounds when utility is limited. Cypher should advocate for full saves, ensuring full buy rounds have maximum utility to compensate for their defensive disadvantages. Vyse can confidently force buy, knowing their defensive kit provides advantages that partially compensate for economic disadvantages.
Overall Side Analysis
Vyse demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (56.7%) and defense (50.4%), comprehensively outperforming Cypher across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 11 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Vyse holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Cypher's disadvantage in this matchup. Vyse outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Cypher into Vyse, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Cypher's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Cypher in isolated Vyse encounters.
For ranked climbing, avoid playing Cypher when you expect to face Vyse frequently. The 14.3 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Vyse is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Vyse decisively wins the Cypher vs Vyse matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Vyse has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Cypher players facing Vyse should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.
Sentinel vs Sentinel Dynamics
Both Cypher and Vyse fill the Sentinel role in Valorant team compositions. This role mirror means teams won't face composition issues from having both agents — the question is purely which Sentinel performs better in direct competition. Our data clearly indicates Vyse is the stronger Sentinel pick when these agents face each other.
In Sentinel vs Sentinel encounters, similar ability timing and usage patterns mean both agents often use their kits in comparable ways. The winner typically comes down to which player uses their abilities more efficiently and wins the mechanical duels that follow. Vyse's statistical advantage suggests their specific Sentinel kit translates slightly better to winning these mirror encounters.
Cypher vs Vyse is a skill matchup with near-even win rates (45.5% vs 54.5%). Based on 11 matches, see which agent wins in KDA, damage output, attack rounds, and defense rounds to find your edge.
