Which VALORANT Agent Is Right For You

A Tower – This is a great spot to experiment with, but like Bind: A Short, should see a change in the future. Placing the Spycam outside of the window near the decorative, upwards pointing rocks provides a high viewpoint, but too much cover for opponents to quickly ident


Sage is the glue that holds your team together. As Sage, you play as the backbone to your team; healing them when they get low, reviving them when they fall, blocking off the opponent and slowing them to allow your team to pick up the k


He still gets some use in competitive play when, in an ideal team composition , allies stack other Agents who can lockdown, stun, or otherwise restrict enemy movement. But this is more than the exception than it is the rule for poor KA


Above C Short, C Site Long, C Site C Short – Any of these can provide good value, but Cypher is not one to hold the location. Experiment with which works best, as this will be used sparingly.

Using Each Spot Effecti


Sage may very well be the strongest agent in the game . Every ability in her kit provides a tremendous amount of utility, and not having a Sage on your team is the first step to losing a game of VALORANT . Sage has an area-of-effect slow, a wall that needs to be shot down to pass through, a heal over time, and her ultimate allows her to resurrect a fallen a


Veteran teams that see her ultimate go off receive specific locations on how to hunt down and eliminate their opposition. With a few pointers on how to use her and some solid communication, her ceiling is higher than her fl


He combines the skills of Breach and Phoenix, as he can flash for himself and the team as well if need be. His style is not hard to master, so this Agent is great for starters, and even pro players revisit him often because of his set of abilit


For that, Jett is ideal. Not only is she undoubtedly the poster girl of VALORANT , she's a unique character with tons of mobility, able to jump and lunge distances. Her ultimate Blade Storm is a cool one, allowing the player to recharge their throwing knives with each kill they sc


One of Raze's abilities, Blast Pack, is one of the most interesting and versatile abilities in the entire game. Blast Pack, in essence, functions like C4 in other games; you toss it, you blow it up, it hurts enemies. But in Valorant, Raze can't be damaged by her own Blast Packs. Instead, they launch her into the air, making for a ton of creative uses and a high skill ceil


Although many people argue that duelists are weak in the current state of the game due to their lack of utility, a skilled Jett player can silence the haters in a cloud of head clicks and dashes. Jett is the ultimate skirmisher; she can jump, dash and float around her enemies, setting up highlight reel plays. She can create clouds of smoke which block vision, and her ultimate allows the player to send a flurry of throwing knives which kills instantly on headsh


Sage is currently the most popular hero in the game due to her ability to heal her teammates and resurrect them from the dead. She also brings in other utility such as a slowing orb, which can be used in combination with abilities such as Brimstone's Orbital Str


Another way to increase the usefulness of the Boom Bot is by using it, essentially, as another teammate. Send that Boom Bot around a corner you know an enemy is around, and come around the other corner yours


Viper gets a lot of flack for being weaker than other controllers such as Brimstone, Oke.Zone but she has the unique capability of being able to hold down an entire point by herself, simply by placing down her ultimate. Viper's ultimate ability emits a massive cloud of gas in an area that lasts as long as she stays inside. To foes, vision is stifled in the cloud but enemies inside are highlighted to Vi


Viper might not be the strongest agent, but she does have a niche of players that have mastered her. Her abilities all provide great utility to her team, from poison clouds to poison walls, and she shines the most when on defe


KAY/O is in a really tough place right now. While most skills from any Agent can be dodged by skillful players, KAY/O has such huge animations and warning signs from all four of his abilities that landing an attack feels like a mira


She can fill any role and is tremendous on both offense and defense. She falls to the middle of the pack in competitive play as most hardcore gamers favor offense over defense, but she's still got her usefulness when placed with top-tier damage deal


A Short – Near the rugs remains a solid spot to place the Spycam, however, Riot Games seems to dislike the area for this use. We have already seen this changed in a recent patch, partly as an exploit, partly for being too difficult to quickly and easily note where the Spycam is located.

As VALORANT is still in beta, Riot Games is constantly working to ensure the game is working as intended by design, and this means patching out Spycam exploits on each map as they appear. As a result, each patch often brings map changes, some meant to help overall gameplay, but many with Cypher and his Spycam in mind. These and future patches should be observed closely to ensure the best Cypher play and counterplay. This guide will focus on patch 0.5, with the goal of thinking long-term about how best to use Cypher and his tool
