Attack Side Breakdown

The attack-side performance gap between Vyse and Viper is dramatic: 50.0% versus 30.3%, a commanding 19.7 percentage point advantage. Vyse dominates offensive scenarios in this matchup to a degree that requires Viper to fundamentally change their approach to attack-side play.

Our analysis of 6 competitive matches reveals Vyse has overwhelming attack-side superiority in every measurable category. Site executions, entry success, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all massively favor Vyse. This isn't a gap that Viper can overcome through practice or "playing better" — it's a structural matchup disadvantage. Viper teams must build their entire attack strategy around protecting Viper from direct Vyse engagement: give Viper lurk roles, put them in trade positions rather than entry, and design executes where Viper's weaknesses are covered by teammate utility.

Under no circumstances should Viper take entry duels against Vyse. The 19.7% attack gap makes entry fragging against Vyse one of the lowest-percentage plays in Valorant. Viper must exclusively play support roles on attack: flash for teammates, smoke for executes, trade after entries, or create map pressure through lurks that don't involve Vyse confrontation. Vyse should actively hunt Viper entries, knowing the statistical advantage is overwhelming.

Viper's post-plant conversion rate against Vyse is catastrophic. The data shows Viper fails to hold spike plants at a dramatically higher rate than Vyse. Never leave Viper alone post-plant — they need constant teammate support, crossfire setups, and utility coordination to have any chance of winning these scenarios. Consider not planting at all if Viper is the only survivor. Vyse should play extremely confidently in post-plants, knowing Viper struggles to convert even favorable positions.

Defense Side Breakdown

The defensive disparity between Vyse and Viper is substantial: 69.7% versus 50.0%, a 19.7 point chasm. Vyse absolutely dominates CT side in this matchup — their site holds are significantly harder to break, their retake contributions more impactful, and their defensive utility more effective at every level.

Viper cannot be trusted with traditional site anchor responsibilities against Vyse. The 19.7% defensive gap is too large to overcome through positioning or individual skill. Teams must protect Viper: pair them with multiple teammates, give them off-site lurk positions, or have them rotate immediately when Vyse's presence is identified on their site. Vyse should aggressively anchor the most difficult sites on any map, knowing their defensive capability is overwhelming.

Viper should avoid retake scenarios against Vyse entirely when possible. The data from 6 matches shows Viper's retake conversion rate against Vyse is dramatically lower than average. If Viper must retake, require 3+ player numbers advantage and full utility coordination. Vyse should play post-plant positions knowing Viper lacks the capability to effectively contest them. In clutch scenarios, Vyse wins at overwhelming rates.

Economy decisions for Viper must account for their defensive inadequacy. Force buying against Vyse is essentially throwing away credits — the defensive gap makes partial buys nearly unwinnable. Viper should always advocate for full saves, building toward rounds where team utility can compensate for their individual defensive weakness. Vyse can confidently force and half-buy, knowing their defensive advantages persist across all economy states.

Overall Side Analysis

Vyse demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (50.0%) and defense (69.7%), comprehensively outperforming Viper across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 6 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 Viper's disadvantage in this matchup. Vyse outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Viper into Vyse, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Viper's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Viper in isolated Vyse encounters.

For ranked climbing, avoid playing Viper when you expect to face Vyse frequently. The 39.4 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 Viper vs Vyse matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Vyse has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Viper players facing Vyse should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.

Controller vs Sentinel Dynamics

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

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