53.9%Raze

Raze achieves a clean sweep in the fragging department, winning all five combat metrics against Neon in the Neon vs Raze matchup. This comprehensive dominance across KDA efficiency, kill production, survivability demonstrates that Raze holds systematic mechanical advantages in these encounters. Based on analysis of 66 competitive matches, Raze players can approach duels against Neon with confidence, while Neon players must completely avoid fair fights and instead focus on utility-based contributions, information gathering, and team coordination to remain impactful.
Avg KDA
1.24Neon
1.40Raze
Raze holds a slight KDA edge in this matchup, recording 1.40 compared to Neon's 1.24. While this 0.17 point difference indicates Raze tends to come out ahead in engagements, the gap remains small enough that skilled Neon players can overcome it through superior positioning, utility timing, or simply winning crucial aim duels. The data suggests Raze's kit may offer marginally better tools for securing kills while staying alive, but Neon players shouldn't feel disadvantaged when taking fights in this matchup.
Avg Kills
16.7Neon
18.4Raze
Raze substantially outfrags Neon in this matchup, averaging 18.4 kills compared to 16.7 — a difference of nearly 1.6 eliminations per match. When Raze faces Neon, the data clearly shows Raze finding more fragging opportunities and converting them into kills. Neon players should recognize this statistical reality and adjust their approach: play more supportively, focus on enabling teammates, and avoid ego-challenging Raze in situations where your team doesn't need you to take that duel.
Avg Deaths
17.2Neon
16.1Raze
Raze demonstrates markedly better survivability against Neon, recording 16.1 deaths per game versus 17.2. Dying nearly 1.1 fewer times per match gives Raze significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in clutch rounds, and more economic stability from staying alive. Neon players face a survival deficit that compounds throughout a match, making disciplined positioning and smart disengagements crucial.
DMG/Round
139.3Neon
165.0Raze
The damage differential between Raze and Neon is exceptional: 165.0 ADR compared to just 139.3. Raze deals 25.6 more damage per round on average, indicating absolute dominance in direct combat exchanges. This level of disparity suggests Raze's kit, typical playstyle, or positioning patterns give them massive advantages in dealing damage while Neon struggles to even trade effectively. Neon players should treat Raze as a must-avoid duel and focus entirely on non-combat contributions or utility-based damage.
HS %
20.5%Neon
20.9%Raze
Headshot percentages are remarkably similar between Neon (20.5%) and Raze (20.9%). This indicates both agents' players display equivalent aim precision when these matchups occur, and neither has a systematic accuracy advantage. Duels come down to reaction time, crosshair pre-placement, and micro-positioning rather than one side consistently hitting more heads. Both agents can confidently challenge long-range angles where headshots become decisive.

Attack Side Breakdown
The attack-side comparison between Neon and Raze reveals near-perfect parity, with Neon winning 46.1% of attacking rounds compared to Raze's 46.1%. This negligible 0.0 percentage point difference indicates neither agent possesses inherent advantages when executing onto sites or pushing through chokepoints. When these agents meet on attack, success depends almost entirely on team coordination, execute timing, and individual mechanical skill rather than agent kit superiority.
From a tactical standpoint, neither Neon nor Raze should adjust their standard attacking approach based on this matchup. Both agents can run their typical execute patterns, default rotations, and lurk timings without worrying about a statistical disadvantage. The data from 66 matches suggests that whichever player has better game sense, utility timing, and raw mechanical aim will win attack-side encounters — there's no agent-based shortcut to victory here.
For entry fragging specifically, both Neon and Raze players can confidently take the first duel when executing onto sites. Neither agent's abilities create meaningful first-contact advantages over the other, so entry success comes down to crosshair placement, pre-aim quality, and jiggle-peeking technique. Whether you're playing Neon or Raze, approach site entries with the same confidence you'd have in any other matchup.

Post-plant scenarios in this matchup are similarly balanced. Neither agent demonstrates superior spike defense or retake denial capabilities against the other based on our attack-side data. When the spike is down, focus on standard post-plant fundamentals: positioning for crossfires, using utility to delay defuses, and communicating enemy positions to teammates. The 0.0% difference is small enough to be statistical noise rather than a meaningful advantage.

Neither possesses defensive utility advantages significant enough to swing matchup outcomes.
Both Neon and Raze can anchor sites with equal effectiveness in this matchup. Whether holding A, B, or mid on any map, neither agent's defensive kit provides meaningful advantages over the other. Site anchor decisions should be based on map knowledge, team composition needs, and personal preference rather than matchup considerations. The 0.0% difference is too small to influence site assignment choices.
Retake scenarios are similarly balanced between Neon and Raze. Neither agent demonstrates superior retake utility, post-plant clearing ability, or clutch potential against the other based on our defensive data from 66 matches. When retaking against either agent, focus on standard retake fundamentals: utility to clear common spots, coordinated timing with teammates, and trading effectively. Don't adjust your retake approach based on whether you're facing Neon or Raze.
Economy decisions and utility usage shouldn't change based on this specific matchup during defense. Both agents have comparable force buy success rates, full buy conversion, and utility effectiveness against each other. Make economy calls based on team needs and general defensive principles rather than Neon vs Raze specific considerations. Your standard defensive utility timing and placement will be equally effective regardless of which agent you're facing.
Overall Side Analysis
Raze maintains a consistent but slim advantage across both sides of the map in this matchup, with 46.1% attack win rate and 53.9% defense win rate. While Raze is statistically favored regardless of map side, the margins are close enough that Neon remains highly competitive and can win games through strong individual performance.
Map choice and team composition have minimal impact on this specific matchup outcome. Both agents perform similarly across attack-sided, defense-sided, and balanced maps. Pick based on personal comfort, team needs, and broader composition considerations rather than Neon vs Raze specific factors. The slight Raze advantage doesn't change based on external factors.
For ranked climbing, don't overthink this matchup. The statistical differences are small enough that individual skill, team coordination, and game sense remain the primary factors determining outcomes. Focus on improving your fundamentals on either agent rather than trying to gain edges through matchup knowledge. Both Neon and Raze are viable ranked picks with minimal matchup disadvantage.
Bottom line: this is one of the more balanced agent matchups in Valorant. Raze has a slight statistical edge, but Neon is absolutely viable and can win through skill. If you're comfortable on Neon, don't switch to Raze just for this matchup — the difference is too small to justify changing your agent pool.
Duelist vs Duelist Dynamics
Both Neon and Raze fill the Duelist role in Valorant team compositions. This role mirror means teams won't face composition issues from having both agents — the question is purely which Duelist performs better in direct competition. Our data clearly indicates Raze is the stronger Duelist pick when these agents face each other.
In Duelist vs Duelist 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. Raze's statistical advantage suggests their specific Duelist kit translates slightly better to winning these mirror encounters.
