Valorant Duelist Tier List
This Valorant agents tier list ranks all 8 agents by win rate for 2026, sorted from S-tier down to F-tier so you can read the current meta at a glance. Neon posts the single highest win rate at 51.9%. For players hunting an edge, Neon is the most underrated pick this patch — A-tier results at only a 5.0% pick rate — while Reyna looks overrated, popular at 7.2% 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.

Duelist Tier List
S Tier - Meta Defining
(0)No agents currently fall into S-tier this patch.
A Tier - Strong Picks
(1)A-tier is led by Neon, which holds steady with a 51.9% win rate on a 5.0% pick rate. These are strong, reliable agents that perform well in almost every game.
B Tier - Viable
(2)B-tier is led by Phoenix, which holds steady with a 51.2% win rate on a 3.2% pick rate. They are followed by Jett (50.4%). These agents are balanced and fully viable with solid execution. In terms of popularity, Jett is the crowd favourite here at a 13.5% pick rate, while Phoenix is slept on at just 3.2% — a strong B-tier pick flying under the radar.
C Tier - Situational
(4)C-tier is led by Raze, which holds steady with a 50.5% win rate on a 3.3% pick rate. They are followed by Waylay (50.4%), Reyna (50.2%), and Yoru (49.9%). These agents are situational and need favourable matchups or team comps to shine. Despite the low ranking, Reyna stays popular at a 7.2% pick rate, meaning players overvalue it relative to its C-tier results, while Raze (3.3%) is more rightly avoided.
D Tier - Below Average
(0)No agents currently fall into D-tier this patch.
F Tier - Weak
(1)F-tier is led by Iso, which struggles with a 47.5% win rate on a 1.3% pick rate. These agents are the weakest options this patch and are best avoided in ranked.
