Attack Side Breakdown

Viper significantly outperforms Tejo on attack side, achieving a 48.4% round win rate versus 41.7%. This 6.7 point disparity reveals Viper as the clearly superior offensive agent in this head-to-head, with advantages that Tejo cannot easily overcome through individual skill alone.

Based on 4 matches analyzed, Viper dominates attack-side scenarios through multiple vectors. Entry success rate, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all favor Viper 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 Viper, and consider how team composition can cover Tejo's offensive weaknesses. Simply "playing better" isn't enough to overcome a 6.7% gap.

Tejo should avoid entry fragging roles against Viper whenever possible. The data clearly shows Viper 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 Viper confrontation. If forced to entry, wait for maximum utility support and ensure a trade is guaranteed. Viper can and should take aggressive entries, knowing statistical backing supports confident play.

Post-plant scenarios heavily favor Viper 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. Viper should recognize their post-plant dominance and play for spike aggressively after site takes.

Defense Side Breakdown

Viper substantially outclasses Tejo on defense, achieving 58.3% round wins compared to 51.6%. This 6.7 percentage point gap indicates Viper 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 Viper. The 6.7% 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. Viper should actively anchor difficult sites, knowing their defensive capabilities significantly exceed Tejo's.

Retake dynamics heavily favor Viper. When Tejo needs to retake against Viper, success requires overwhelming numbers and utility coordination — never attempt equal-number retakes and absolutely avoid solo retakes. Viper should play post-plant positions confidently, knowing Tejo struggles to clear them effectively. In clutch scenarios, Viper 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 Viper 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. Viper can confidently force buy, knowing their defensive kit provides advantages that partially compensate for economic disadvantages.

Overall Side Analysis

Viper demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (48.4%) and defense (58.3%), comprehensively outperforming Tejo across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 4 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Viper holding advantages at every stage.

Map selection and team composition cannot fix Tejo's disadvantage in this matchup. Viper outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Tejo into Viper, 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 Viper encounters.

For ranked climbing, avoid playing Tejo when you expect to face Viper frequently. The 13.4 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Viper is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.

Final verdict: Viper decisively wins the Tejo vs Viper matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Viper has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Tejo players facing Viper should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.

Initiator vs Controller Dynamics

The Initiator (Tejo) vs Controller (Viper) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Tejo's Initiator abilities serve different purposes than Viper's Controller kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.

Understanding how Initiator abilities interact with Controller counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Tejo's Initiator toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Viper's Controller kit counters others. The Viper advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
