Valorant Agents Tier List
This Valorant agents tier list ranks all 29 agents by win rate for 2026, sorted from S-tier down to F-tier so you can read the current meta at a glance. The S-tier — the 2 strongest agents right now — features Clove (53.2%) and Sova (51.8%). Clove posts the single highest win rate at 53.2%. For players hunting an edge, Sage is the most underrated pick this patch — A-tier results at only a 1.3% pick rate — while Jett looks overrated, popular at 13.5% but landing in C-tier. Rankings update daily from real ranked matches, so every placement reflects current performance rather than a one-off result. Use the tiers below to pick the best agents for your games.

(2)S-tier is led by Clove, which performs strongly with a 53.2% win rate on a 13.6% pick rate. They are followed by Sova (51.8%). These agents define the current meta and are the safest, highest-impact picks. In terms of popularity, Clove is the crowd favourite here at a 13.6% pick rate, while Sova is slept on at just 7.8% — a strong S-tier pick flying under the radar.
A
A Tier - Strong Picks
(5)A-tier is led by Sage, which performs strongly with a 52.5% win rate on a 1.3% pick rate. They are followed by Killjoy (52.0%), Neon (51.8%), Fade (51.8%), and Phoenix (51.5%). These are strong, reliable agents that perform well in almost every game. In terms of popularity, Fade is the crowd favourite here at a 5.4% pick rate, while Sage is slept on at just 1.3% — a strong A-tier pick flying under the radar.
B
B Tier - Viable
(4)B-tier is led by Vyse, which holds steady with a 51.8% win rate on a 1.3% pick rate. They are followed by Viper (51.6%), Cypher (51.6%), and Skye (51.0%). These agents are balanced and fully viable with solid execution. In terms of popularity, Cypher is the crowd favourite here at a 2.8% pick rate, while Vyse is slept on at just 1.3% — a strong B-tier pick flying under the radar.
C
C Tier - Situational
(6)C-tier is led by Raze, which holds steady with a 50.3% win rate on a 3.3% pick rate. They are followed by Jett (50.3%), Waylay (50.2%), Chamber (50.2%), Reyna (50.1%), and Yoru (49.7%). These agents are situational and need favourable matchups or team comps to shine. Despite the low ranking, Jett stays popular at a 13.5% pick rate, meaning players overvalue it relative to its C-tier results, while Raze (3.3%) is more rightly avoided.
D
D Tier - Below Average
(6)D-tier is led by Tejo, which holds steady with a 50.4% win rate on a 1.0% pick rate. They are followed by Brimstone (49.9%), Veto (49.9%), Deadlock (49.3%), Omen (48.5%), and Astra (48.2%). These agents underperform against the current meta and take extra effort to win with. Despite the low ranking, Omen stays popular at a 2.4% pick rate, meaning players overvalue it relative to its D-tier results, while Deadlock (0.6%) is more rightly avoided.
F
F Tier - Weak
(6)F-tier is led by Gekko, which struggles with a 48.9% win rate on a 0.2% pick rate. They are followed by Iso (47.8%), Miks (47.3%), KAY/O (47.2%), Harbor (47.2%), and Breach (45.2%). These agents are the weakest options this patch and are best avoided in ranked. Despite the low ranking, Iso stays popular at a 1.3% pick rate, meaning players overvalue it relative to its F-tier results, while Gekko (0.2%) is more rightly avoided.
