Valorant consists of many agents with unique abilities to take advantage of and secure the game.
Riot Games’ Valorant is currently one of the most played FPS Esports in the world. The game not only requires strong gunplay skills but also understanding the map and coordinating with teammates to complement and utilize the different abilities.
While not all agents are best suited for all maps, some agents are quite amicable and can adapt to the different maps. From the wide spaces in Breeze to the narrow corridors of Icebox, these abilities are quite useful across all maps.
