A new Act in Valorant means a new Agent and a shaking up of the meta.<\/p>\n

Unlike many other updates though, v2.04 the launch patch<\/a> for Act 3, only introduced Astra<\/a> and made no buffs or nerfs to the game’s fourteen other Agents.<\/p>\n

Does that mean their place in the meta hasn’t shifted – not quite. Compared to our v2.03 Agent tier list<\/a>, Yoru has fallen further, initial hopes that his kit just hadn’t been fully explored have proved not exactly the case and Riot has come out to say that buffing him, as well as Viper, are top priorities.<\/p>\n

Then of course there is Astra, the Controller’s kit, is certainly beautiful to look at but does it pack a punch? Find out what we think below.<\/p>\n

Description of the tiers<\/h3>\n

We have opted for a standard five-tier system, S to D.<\/p>\n

S-Tier:<\/strong> Must pick for every team and any map.<\/p>\n

A-Tier: <\/strong>Important for any well-functioning team, don’t make S-Tier because of certain maps or player’s ability.<\/p>\n

B-Tier:<\/strong> In the right hands or select maps are viable Agents.<\/p>\n

C-Tier: <\/strong>Some players depending on their play style will be able to make these Agents exceed their potential.<\/p>\n

D-Tier: <\/strong>Viper.<\/p>\n

Remember tier lists are not an exact science so if you feel your ability to play Viper makes her an S-tier agent — good! (In fact, at high ELOs, Viper is a very proficient Agent but for the vast majority…No)<\/p>\n

This list is designed to give you a general idea of the power of Agents as they stand in the game as of Episode 2 Act 3.<\/p>\n
