Valorant agent tier list, August 2026
A Vyse month, a fading Iso, and why your dualist instalock is costing you rounds on Split.
Updated the day 11.04 landed. Vyse moves up because her wall no longer griefs her own team. Iso does not. The rest of the chart is a Split-and-Sunset chart — Abyss leaving the pool changes less than people think.
Controllers
| Agent | Tier | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Omen | S | Still the flex. Smoke, TP, and a flash that works on Split. |
| Clove | A | Selfish, but the selfish works in solo queue. |
| Viper | B | Map-dependent. Sunset yes. Split no. |
Duelists
Jett is not optional on Split if your team wants an Operator. Neon is the pubs queen and a Premier liability unless you have a dedicated entry who already plays her. Iso’s shield is a 1-for-1 with two rifles, which is a bad trade in a game about trades.
Sentinels and initiators
- Vyse: A-tier. The wall bugfix is the whole patch for her.
- Cypher: S on Split, A everywhere else. Cam trips still win eco rounds.
- Sova: S on Haven and Sunset. Relearn the Split lineups before you queue.
- Fade: A. Quieter than Sova, better for solo queue because the info is free.
