Valorant Sentinel Tier List
This Valorant agents tier list ranks all 7 agents by win rate for 2026, sorted from S-tier down to F-tier so you can read the current meta at a glance. Killjoy posts the single highest win rate at 52.0%. For players hunting an edge, Killjoy is the most underrated pick this patch — A-tier results at only a 1.9% pick rate — while Chamber looks overrated, popular at 10.6% but landing in C-tier.

Sentinel Tier List
S Tier - Meta Defining
(0)No agents currently fall into S-tier this patch.
A Tier - Strong Picks
(2)A-tier is led by Killjoy, which holds steady with a 52.0% win rate on a 1.9% pick rate. They are followed by Cypher (51.8%). These are strong, reliable agents that perform well in almost every game. In terms of popularity, Cypher is the crowd favourite here at a 2.7% pick rate, while Killjoy is slept on at just 1.9% — a strong A-tier pick flying under the radar.
B Tier - Viable
(2)B-tier is led by Sage, which holds steady with a 51.7% win rate on a 1.2% pick rate. They are followed by Vyse (51.6%). These agents are balanced and fully viable with solid execution. In terms of popularity, Vyse is the crowd favourite here at a 1.3% pick rate, while Sage is slept on at just 1.2% — a strong B-tier pick flying under the radar.
C Tier - Situational
(1)C-tier is led by Chamber, which holds steady with a 50.2% win rate on a 10.6% pick rate. These agents are situational and need favourable matchups or team comps to shine.
D Tier - Below Average
(2)D-tier is led by Veto, which struggles with a 49.6% win rate on a 0.7% pick rate. They are followed by Deadlock (49.4%). These agents underperform against the current meta and take extra effort to win with. Despite the low ranking, Veto stays popular at a 0.7% pick rate, meaning players overvalue it relative to its D-tier results, while Deadlock (0.6%) is more rightly avoided.
F Tier - Weak
(0)No agents currently fall into F-tier this patch.
