Valorant Sentinel Tier List
This Valorant agents tier list places 7 agents for October 2026, from S-tier down to F-tier. Placement combines win rate, pick rate and how much match data sits behind each result, so it is not a straight win-rate sort — an entry with a high win rate over few games ranks below a steadier one. Sage posts the single highest win rate at 52.2%. For players hunting an edge, Sage is the most underrated pick this patch — A-tier results at only a 1.3% pick rate — while Chamber looks overrated, popular at 10.4% 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.
