Valorant Mobile Early Tier List

With Valorant Mobile finally launching with 18 agents, it's important to know which agents are strong and which are weak. Even though some agents may be on low tier, they may have some niche uses or they may be good on a map.

Our Ranking Criteria

We evaluated each agent based on:

Agent Power: How strong and impactful their abilities are
Learning Curve: Time needed to master the agent
Versatility: Performance across different maps and scenarios
Meta Relevance: How often they're picked in competitive play

For this early tier list, we'll examine the 18 agents available at launch and break them down by both overall performance and individual roles.

We'll rank all 18 agents: Brimstone, Jett, Phoenix, Sage, Sova, Viper, Cypher, Reyna, Killjoy, Breach, Omen, Raze, Skye, Yoru, Astra, Neon, Iso, and Chamber.

Agent viability depends not just on maps but also on rank—you can use Reyna to rank up quickly from Iron to Platinum, but in higher ranks, it is usually better to pick other duelists. However, in this tier list, we'll average out all factors and rank based on agent ability, difficulty, versatility, and overall effectiveness.

Tier Rankings

S-Tier: Omen (Controller), Raze (Duelist), Sova (Initiator), and Viper (Controller)

Omen is one of the best controllers in the game right now. He can use his smoke anywhere and can blind enemies and teleport himself, giving flexibility to players.

Raze has high damage abilities. Her Boom Bot is excellent for clearing corners, her grenade does massive damage, and her Blast Packs and Showstopper allow you to fly in the air and fire a rocket.

Sova is the ultimate information gatherer. His drone can find enemies and clear corners, his recon dart scans all the enemies in one site, and his ultimate is perfect for post-plant scenarios. When mastered, he becomes incredibly impactful across all maps.

Viper is a controller with toxic abilities that are almost impossible to counter. Her poison cloud and wall create impenetrable barriers, and she has various powerful combos for post-plant situations that can single-handedly win rounds.

These agents are the absolute meta picks with game-changing abilities that can single-handedly turn matches around.

A-Tier: Astra (Controller), Cypher (Sentinel), Yoru (Duelist), Iso (Duelist), Reyna (Duelist), and Killjoy (Sentinel)

Astra's stars provide the most versatile smoke system in the game with stuns, pulls, and smokes. She can control the map from anywhere with proper coordination.

Cypher is the ultimate site holder. His camera is excellent for keeping an eye on enemies, and his tripwires are perfect for locking down a site. He is pretty easy to play as well.

Yoru has teleportation and clone abilities, which are excellent for outplaying enemies as well as entering sites. His rework has made him much more viable.

Iso is a powerful duelist with unique isolation abilities. His Contingency can save teammates from damage, and his Double Tap provides excellent entry fragging potential. His ultimate creates a 1v1 arena that can secure crucial eliminations.

Reyna is an incredible agent for ranking up fast in lower ranks as she is self-sufficient with her heals and dismiss. Great for carrying games when you can consistently get kills.

Killjoy is an easy-to-play sentinel. She has an Alarmbot and turret to watch over a site. Her ultimate is very good for clearing sites, and her Nanoswarm grenades are excellent for stopping pushes.

These agents are strong picks with clear advantages and can be highly effective when played properly.

B-Tier: Jett (Duelist), Neon (Duelist), Phoenix (Duelist), Skye (Initiator), Chamber (Sentinel), and Sage (Sentinel)

Jett is one of the most loved duelists of Valorant PC. Her updraft and dash are so fun to use—just fly and dash. She is also the best agent to use the Operator (Sniper) as her dash helps her escape very fast. But she needs lots of games to master her.

Neon is a duelist who has lightning speed. She can rotate the fastest, and her stun and wall create unique opportunities for clutches, though she requires good game sense to use effectively.

Phoenix is a fun and self-sufficient duelist. His flash is good for entry, and his molly can damage enemies as well as heal him, which is good for solo carrying. Decent all-around abilities.

Skye has good utility with her flashes and healing abilities. Her dog can clear corners effectively, though she lacks the consistent impact of higher-tier initiators.

Chamber is a sentinel with sniper expertise. His Headhunter pistol and Operator ultimate make him deadly at long range, while his teleport anchors provide escape options for aggressive positioning.

Sage is a very easy-to-play sentinel. Her walls block site entries, and her heals can heal both teammates and herself. Her ultimate can revive one player, providing good team support.

These agents are decent picks but have limitations or require specific conditions to be most effective.

C-Tier: Breach (Initiator) and Brimstone (Controller)

Breach has the highest crowd control abilities like blinds and stuns. However, you need good team coordination with him. Also, using him requires good map knowledge and is often outclassed by other initiators.

Brimstone is the easiest controller to play. His smokes are straightforward and very easy to use. His molly and ultimate are strong in post-plant situations. However, he is limited to smaller maps and lacks the versatility of other controllers.

These agents can be effective in specific situations but are generally outclassed by higher-tier picks in most scenarios.

If you like to entry frag and create space for your team, you should play duelist agents.

If you prefer gathering information and helping your duelist get kills, you should pick initiator agents.

If you like placing utilities to hold sites and make it harder for enemies to enter or watch flanks, you should play sentinel agents.

If you like using smokes and providing team support, you should play controller agents.
