The most significant gap is in headshot accuracy, where Sova consistently outperforms. In this Initiator vs Initiator matchup, Sova has overwhelming superiority in this agent matchup.

Sova vs Tejo Fragging Analysis
Sova edges out Tejo in a competitive fragging comparison, winning 3 of 5 metrics with notable advantages in KDA efficiency, survivability, headshot accuracy. With only a 3-2 margin based on 27 matches analyzed, this Sova vs Tejo matchup remains contestable for both sides. Tejo shouldn't feel outgunned — the statistical gap is narrow enough that individual skill, positioning choices, and in-game decision making can easily swing specific encounters in Tejo's favor.
Avg KDA
1.39Sova
1.27Tejo
Sova holds a slight KDA edge in this matchup, recording 1.39 compared to Tejo's 1.27. While this 0.12 point difference indicates Sova tends to come out ahead in engagements, the gap remains small enough that skilled Tejo players can overcome it through superior positioning, utility timing, or simply winning crucial aim duels. The data suggests Sova's kit may offer marginally better tools for securing kills while staying alive, but Tejo players shouldn't feel disadvantaged when taking fights in this matchup.
Avg Kills
14.0Sova
14.3Tejo
Kill production between Sova and Tejo is virtually identical, with Sova averaging 14.0 kills per game and Tejo securing 14.3. 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
14.1Sova
15.3Tejo
Sova demonstrates markedly better survivability against Tejo, recording 14.1 deaths per game versus 15.3. Dying nearly 1.1 fewer times per match gives Sova significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in clutch rounds, and more economic stability from staying alive. Tejo players face a survival deficit that compounds throughout a match, making disciplined positioning and smart disengagements crucial.
DMG/Round
132.9Sova
133.7Tejo
Damage output per round is essentially equal between Sova (132.9 ADR) and Tejo (133.7 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 %
31.1%Sova
25.2%Tejo
The headshot percentage disparity between Sova and Tejo is substantial: 31.1% compared to 25.2%, a 5.9 point difference. Sova consistently displays far superior aim precision in this matchup, turning potential trades into clean kills and surviving encounters that would kill less accurate players. For Tejo, challenging Sova in a fair aim duel is statistically unwise. Success requires creating unfair fights — off-angles, utility combinations, multi-person pressure — where Sova's aim advantage cannot fully manifest.

Attack Side Breakdown
Sova significantly outperforms Tejo on attack side, achieving a 58.9% round win rate versus 51.3%. This 7.6 point disparity reveals Sova as the clearly superior offensive agent in this head-to-head, with advantages that Tejo cannot easily overcome through individual skill alone.
Based on 27 matches analyzed, Sova dominates attack-side scenarios through multiple vectors. Entry success rate, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all favor Sova significantly. Tejo teams must make structural adjustments to their attack approach: rely less on Tejo for key fragging roles, design executes that minimize Tejo's direct engagement with Sova, and consider how team composition can cover Tejo's offensive weaknesses. Simply "playing better" isn't enough to overcome a 7.6% gap.
Tejo should avoid entry fragging roles against Sova whenever possible. The data clearly shows Sova wins a disproportionate share of first contacts on attack. Tejo players should volunteer for support roles — flashing for teammates, trading entries, or lurking to create map pressure without direct Sova confrontation. If forced to entry, wait for maximum utility support and ensure a trade is guaranteed. Sova can and should take aggressive entries, knowing statistical backing supports confident play.

Post-plant scenarios heavily favor Sova in this matchup. Tejo 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. Tejo teams should never leave Tejo alone in post-plant — always have teammates nearby for crossfires and trades. Consider giving the spike to a different player when possible. Sova should recognize their post-plant dominance and play for spike aggressively after site takes.
Defense Side Breakdown
Sova substantially outclasses Tejo on defense, achieving 48.7% round wins compared to 41.1%. This 7.6 percentage point gap indicates Sova excels at core defensive tasks — anchoring sites, gathering information, stalling executes, and contributing to retakes — at a level Tejo cannot match.
Tejo should never solo anchor against Sova. The 7.6% defensive gap makes isolated site holds extremely unfavorable for Tejo. Instead, pair Tejo 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. Sova should actively anchor difficult sites, knowing their defensive capabilities significantly exceed Tejo's.
Retake dynamics heavily favor Sova. When Tejo needs to retake against Sova, success requires overwhelming numbers and utility coordination — never attempt equal-number retakes and absolutely avoid solo retakes. Sova should play post-plant positions confidently, knowing Tejo struggles to clear them effectively. In clutch scenarios, Sova has a significant statistical edge that Tejo cannot overcome through individual skill alone.
Economy management becomes critical for Tejo in this matchup. Force buying against Sova is mathematically unfavorable — the defensive gap compounds when utility is limited. Tejo should advocate for full saves, ensuring full buy rounds have maximum utility to compensate for their defensive disadvantages. Sova can confidently force buy, knowing their defensive kit provides advantages that partially compensate for economic disadvantages.
Overall Side Analysis
Sova demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (58.9%) and defense (48.7%), comprehensively outperforming Tejo across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 27 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Sova holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Tejo's disadvantage in this matchup. Sova outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Tejo into Sova, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Tejo's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Tejo in isolated Sova encounters.
For ranked climbing, avoid playing Tejo when you expect to face Sova frequently. The 15.3 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Sova is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Sova decisively wins the Sova vs Tejo matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Sova has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Tejo players facing Sova should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.
Initiator vs Initiator Dynamics
Both Sova and Tejo fill the Initiator role in Valorant team compositions. This role mirror means teams won't face composition issues from having both agents — the question is purely which Initiator performs better in direct competition. Our data clearly indicates Sova is the stronger Initiator pick when these agents face each other.
In Initiator vs Initiator 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. Sova's statistical advantage suggests their specific Initiator kit translates slightly better to winning these mirror encounters.
Sova vs Tejo matchup breakdown: Sova dominates with a 55.6% win rate across 27 matches. Superior fragging (1.39 KDA) gives Sova a clear edge. See attack/defense stats and combat analysis.
