Sage vs Vyse Fragging Analysis
Sage claims 4 out of 5 fragging metrics in the Sage vs Vyse matchup, establishing clear mechanical superiority with advantages in KDA efficiency, kill production, survivability. Our analysis of 7 ranked games reveals Sage consistently outperforms Vyse in direct combat scenarios. While Vyse manages to win the remaining metric, the overall picture favors Sage in gunfights. Vyse players should play around their one strength while minimizing exposure in areas where Sage dominates.
Avg KDA
1.74Sage
1.36Vyse
Sage demonstrates noticeably stronger kill-death-assist performance against Vyse, maintaining a 1.74 KDA versus 1.36. This 0.38 point gap reflects Sage's superior ability to secure eliminations while avoiding death in these head-to-head encounters. Vyse players facing Sage should prioritize team coordination over solo aggression — look for 2v1 situations, coordinate utility usage with teammates, and focus on trading rather than taking isolated duels where Sage's statistical advantage becomes most pronounced.
Avg Kills
17.7Sage
16.7Vyse
Sage secures approximately 1.0 more kills per match than Vyse in this head-to-head (17.7 vs 16.7). Over the course of a typical 20+ round game, this translates to Sage contributing several additional eliminations to their team's efforts. The gap indicates Sage's playstyle or kit provides slightly better kill-securing opportunities, though Vyse can compensate through superior utility assistance, site anchoring, or clutch performances.
Avg Deaths
14.3Sage
15.4Vyse
Sage demonstrates markedly better survivability against Vyse, recording 14.3 deaths per game versus 15.4. Dying nearly 1.1 fewer times per match gives Sage significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in clutch rounds, and more economic stability from staying alive. Vyse players face a survival deficit that compounds throughout a match, making disciplined positioning and smart disengagements crucial.
DMG/Round
150.9Sage
150.9Vyse
Damage output per round is essentially equal between Sage (150.9 ADR) and Vyse (150.9 ADR). This parity indicates both agents apply similar pressure in firefights and contribute comparably to wearing down enemy health pools. When these agents face off, neither can rely on superior damage output to swing rounds — instead, the deciding factors become headshot consistency, timing of engagements, and coordination with teammates' utility and damage.
HS %
35.9%Sage
35.2%Vyse
Sage lands headshots at a slightly higher rate (35.9% vs 35.2%), providing a modest but meaningful advantage in time-to-kill during duels. This 0.7 percentage point edge translates to Sage 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 Sage's crosshair placement, and prefiring common positions to negate the accuracy gap.

Attack Side Breakdown
The attack-side comparison between Sage and Vyse reveals near-perfect parity, with Sage winning 50.0% of attacking rounds compared to Vyse's 50.7%. This negligible 0.7 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 Sage nor Vyse 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 7 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 Sage and Vyse 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 Sage or Vyse, 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 0.7% 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 Sage and Vyse 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 0.7% difference is too small to influence site assignment choices.
Retake scenarios are similarly balanced between Sage and Vyse. Neither agent demonstrates superior retake utility, post-plant clearing ability, or clutch potential against the other based on our defensive data from 7 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 Sage or Vyse.
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 Sage vs Vyse specific considerations. Your standard defensive utility timing and placement will be equally effective regardless of which agent you're facing.
Overall Side Analysis
Vyse maintains a consistent but slim advantage across both sides of the map in this matchup, with 50.7% attack win rate and 50.0% defense win rate. While Vyse is statistically favored regardless of map side, the margins are close enough that Sage 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 Sage vs Vyse specific factors. The slight Vyse 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 Sage and Vyse are viable ranked picks with minimal matchup disadvantage.
Bottom line: this is one of the more balanced agent matchups in Valorant. Vyse has a slight statistical edge, but Sage is absolutely viable and can win through skill. If you're comfortable on Sage, don't switch to Vyse just for this matchup — the difference is too small to justify changing your agent pool.
Sentinel vs Sentinel Dynamics
Both Sage 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.

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.
