Valorant Lotus Agent tier list for October 2024

The Valorant Lotus Agent tier list is something every player should look into. Lotus was introduced with patch 6.0. It has a peculiar design with three bomb sites, three lanes, and one-of-a-kind revolving doors. The map is based in India and is currently in the competitive map pool.

Considering the map outline of Lotus, Vyse will heavily impact its Agent selection. She will be available in the game with the launch of Episode 9 Act 2 and is expected to take over the Lotus meta. Let us have a detailed look at the best and worst Agents on Lotus in Valorant.

Valorant Lotus Agent tier list: From best to worst

Before we jump into the tier list it should be noted that the Agent tier list is based on the current meta which may change with the change of season or updates.

The tier list will include five categories: S-tier to D-tier, S being the best and D being the worst. The following table shows the Valorant Agents tier list for Lotus:

Tier	Agent(s)
S	Viper, Omen, Raze, Neon, Fade, Gekko, Killjoy, Cypher
A	Jett, Breach, Clove
B	KAY/O, Chamber, Astra
C	Sage, Vyse, Harbor, Reyna
D	Brimstone, Phoenix, Sova, Skye, Deadlock, Iso, Yoru

S-tier Agents in the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list

The S-tier includes the best Agents on Lotus. These Agents are the absolute best in their respective classes and are the most versatile and reliable on the map.

Viper

Even after she got nerfed, Viper remains an S-tier Agent on Lotus. Her Toxic Screen and her ultimate, Viper’s Pit, simply provide too much value. Her ability to take over A Rubble on the Attack side, and to complement her team’s Sentinel on defense, remains unchallenged.

Omen

Omen is considered the best primary Controller on Lotus. His one ways are extremely useful to keep map control, for example, A Rubble or C Mound. Moreover, his Paranoia and Shrouded Step, in combination with Raze’s Paint Shells and Fade’s Seize, is very difficult to counter.

Raze

Raze’s kit is perfect for Lotus. The map demands aggressive plays from both Attackers and Defenders, which is where Raze shines with her Paint Shells, Blast Packs, and of course, the Showstopper. To complement this playstyle, Fade and Omen are particularly helpful.

Neon

Similar to Raze, Neon can also make fast and flashy plays. With her recent buffs to High Gear, Neon is slowly starting to rise as a meta pick on Lotus. Her complementary Agents would be Gekko, Omen, or even Breach if you are comfortable enough.

Fade

Fade is, undoubtedly, the best Initiator on this map. She has some insane Haunt lineups, and her Prowlers are perfect for tight spaces, like A Tree, or A Link. Moreover, her Seize and Nightfall complement Raze’s kit very well, which leads to creative plays. For these reasons, Fade belongs in the S-tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

Gekko

Gekko has quickly risen to the S-tier on Lotus because of the increase of Neons. His Dizzy and Thrash are not only good by themselves but can be deadly when combined with Neon’s High Gear. The unique nature of his Wingman is just a bonus.

Killjoy

With Lotus having three bomb sites, Sentinels are the most important class to consider. Killjoy can anchor two sites at once, with her Turret and Alarmbot, which is a huge advantage for her team. Moreover, the relatively small size of the sites is perfect for her ultimate, Lockdown. She is also considered one of the best lurkers on Lotus.

Cypher

Cypher lacks the firepower of Killjoy but makes up for it with his information-gathering utilities. He can either set up kill trips to lock down one site or put up trips on different chokepoints, B entrance, or C entrance to watch out for enemy presence.

A-tier Agents in the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list

These are good alternative options to the S-tier Agents but are difficult to master and build a team around. Having said that, they can stand their own on Lotus, and their kits complement some of the S-tier Agents very well.

Jett

Jett is the one Agent who is beloved by the Operator players due to her kit. However, she does not have enough firepower to dominate Lotus. For this reason, the Korean Duelist is in the A-tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

Breach

Breach is one of those Agents who can easily be S-tier with Neon in the meta, however, the value added by Fade and Gekko surpasses Breach’s utility combos.

Clove

Clove has proven to be decently effective on a few maps of Valorant. Fortunately, Lotus is one of them. The map offers many areas where Clove can use the Meddle ability to temporarily damage enemies and kill enemies quickly. This ability can also be combined with other damage-inducing ones to get even easier kills.

Clove can essentially act like a secondary entry as their smokes can still be deployed after death. VCT teams like EDward Gaming and Talon Esports have found a decent amount of success with the Agent in Lotus. For this reason, they deserve a spot in the A-tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

B-tier Agents in the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list

The B-tier Agents are comfort picks. If you feel like your playstyle suits these Agents better, you can use them but they will provide less value than the S and A-tier Agents in the long run.

KAY/O

It is safe to place KAY/O in the B-tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list. He may be a great counter-pick against Sentinels like Cypher, Killjoy, and Vyse, but he often finds his value diminished on Lotus, where traditional flashes are not reliable.

Chamber

Chamber was once meta on Lotus. However, in his current state, he lacks the same amount of firepower and control that he used to bring. His only use case may be with getting entries for your team, but that requires great skill and is not particularly reliable.

Astra

Astra can provide some impact on Lotus. Her large range of deploy abilities can come in very handy for a large map like Lotus. She can act like a Sentinel Agent on defense and stall entries on a site. Later, she can also be the lurker on the attacking half and become a crucial piece in post-plant scenarios. The only reason why Astra isn't the best for Lotus is because she can't afford to be aggressive which Omen and Clove can.

C-tier Agents in the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list

The C-tier includes those Agents that are not good on their own but can be made useful in specific team compositions.

Sage

You can potentially make creative plays with Sage, but she is incredibly difficult to incorporate into a team and has very niche abilities. Only her Healing Orb provides some value, but cannot outmatch the likes of Killjoy and Cypher, as a Sentinel. Due to these reasons, she is a C-tier Agent in the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

Vyse

Vyse's abilities may seem good for Lotus but ends up having some trouble having an impact. On defense, she can gather information about her enemies using her Arc Rose and her other abilities are good for holding quick executes. Like every other map, Vyse suffers on Lotus too since her abilities don't provide a lot of stopping power on defense. She also can't find much value as the lurker in the attacking half.

Harbor

Harbor has a difficult time being useful on Lotus. While his abilities are decent enough to stop flood retakes, he doesn't have proper smokes that the team can utilize. This ends up shaking the whole composition as now another Controller Agent will most likely be required on the team. Harbor also isn't the best at aggressive plays which is quite the problem for an attack-sided map like Lotus.

Reyna

Like Phoenix, Reyna suffers issues with her combat range. In maps like Lotus, she is an underwhelming pick and does not add much value to the team. This makes her a C-tier Agent in the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

D-tier Agents in the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list

The D-tier consists of the worst Agents on Lotus. You should avoid them unless necessary for some fixed strategy.

Brimstone

Brimstone quickly runs out of smoke on a large map like Lotus. Moreover, he cannot make one-ways or smoke across the map, which greatly limits his playstyle, and is unsuitable for Lotus.

Phoenix

This Duelist finds value in close-range combats, where his abilities shine. This is not the case in Lotus, therefore, ranking him in the D-tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

Sova

With the recent shift in meta on Lotus, Sova failed to keep up with the fast-paced gameplay. His abilities, although good on their own, fail to provide value for the team.

Skye

Like Sova, Skye's abilities are powerful but not a suitable fit for Lotus. For this reason, Skye is placed in the last tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

Deadlock

For Deadlock to shine as a Sentinel, especially on maps like Lotus and Haven, she needs a rework of her Sonic Sensor ability. Until then she remains in the D-tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

Iso

Iso is yet to find his place in Valorant. While his abilities can be fun to use, he pales compared to the other Duelist Agents. His inability to make space can be a big problem for an attack-sided map like Lotus. His Undercut and the ultimate, Kill Contract might be the only abilities that find a decent amount of value on the map. However, his recent nerf to his Double Tap decreases his value, putting him in the D-tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.

Yoru

Yoru is also extremely tricky to play on Lotus and ends up having similar issues to Iso. His Blindside can be quite effective for first bloods and the Dimensional drift can gather a decent amount of information. However, creating space in a site would require another Duelist on the team. This lands him in the last tier of the Valorant Lotus Agent tier list.
