Valora𒁃nt: Best Te📖am Compositions For Every Map

If you're looking to dominate every map ♔in Valorant, these team comps will set you on the way.

Duelist Agents are the kings and queens of the one-on-one duel, with kits that allow them to win any gunfight. Duelists should be focused on aggression and making space for the team, capitalizing on any utility thrown. These are all the Duelist Agents in Valorant, ranked ﷽from least to most picked by Radiant-ranked players.

Updated October 31, 2024 by Maria Antiporda: Iso has been added to the list and the rankings have changed according to nerfs, buffs, and other changes to the game. Each description has also been adjusted to accommodate recent patches.

6 Phoenix

Phoenix Holding A Vandal Rifle While He Is Surrounded By A Fiery Glow

Phoenix is definitely one of the easier duelists to use because his kit is simple. That said, his flash doesn't go far, and ꧃he has no diving abilities. This makes other duelists better at getting frags and capitalizing on winning duels. His ultimate ability though, is excellent for clearing, provided that you have the aggression and the aim to amp up your impact with it.

Basic Abilities: Blaze and Curveball

  • Blaze: Create a wall of fire that blocks vision, damages enemies, and heals Phoenix.
  • Curveball: Throw a flare orb to the left or right and blind those who see it.

Signature Ability: Hot Hands

Throw a fireball that explodes after 1.5 seconds or when it hits the floor. The fireball sets the floor on fire for four seconds, damaging players that walk ov🐽er it and healing Phoenix while he stands in it.

Ultimate Ability: Run It Back

​​​​For ten seconds, you place a marker on the ground that acts as a respawn point. You may fire, shoot, and use any abilities within that time frame before you are sent back to your markeℱr with your health fully restored. Dying before the time runs out will also send you back.

5 Yoru

Yoru is a fantastic agent in♊ the han🧜ds of a creative player. His ability to teleport and send out clones can utterly bamboozle enemies and take up map space. His ultimate is also great for scouting an area for his team. That said, when a Yoru starts becoming predictable, it's easy to counter their plays.

4 Raze

Raze Kneeling While Holding A Ghost Pistol

Raze is a great duelist for certain maps. Her ability to satchel from a spot to the exact location of the enemy makes her a terrifying agent to defend against. The issue is that mastering Ra🐠ze's precise satchel and ability timings can make her difficult to pick up for some.

Raze’s ultimate rocket can also be irritating at times, hitting ☂the wall or floor next to your enemy, robbing you of the satisfaction of blowing them up.

Basic Abilities: Boom Bot and Blast Pack

  • Boom Bot: Deploy a bot that will travel in a straight line and bounce off walls. It will lock-on any enemy it sees, chase them, and explode when within range.
  • Blast Pack: Throw a satchel that will stick to surfaces. When the satchel is detonated, it can launch Raze very speedily or damage enemies.

Ultimate Ability: Showstopper

Equip a r🐈ocket launcher that can launch a ♈devastating explosive attack upon the rocket's contact.

3 Iso

Iso from Valorant.

Iso is the agent for the egoist aimers. His ability to capture an opponent and trap the🍷m in his ultimate’s domain for a one versus one showdown of aim certain♍ly makes any match exciting. It’s also great for clearing a spot, allowing the squad to flood in with ease.

His Double Tap shield is a great co﷽untermeasure against pesky snipers, and it rewards every kill with a fresh shield. The fact that this shield can tank an Operator shot or a Raze rocket makes him the perfect agent for🌸 the front lines.

Basic Abilities: Contingency and Undercut

  • Contingency: Create a wall that pushes forward and blocks all incoming bullets.
  • Undercut: Throw a bolt that passes through objects and walls, and causes all hit players to be vulnerable.

Ultimate Ability: Kill Contract

Pull an enemy into an arena where you face-off in a one-on-one ✃gun fight.

2 Reyna

Reyna is one of the simplest duelists to use, and her kit is perfect if you’re after a no-non🔯sense fragging agent. Her blind has great range, and while it can be shot, it can be used to displace your enemy’s crosshair. Her Dismiss allows you to take aggressive angles, provided you have the aim to get the kill for it.

Neon Pointing A Frenzy Machine Pistol At An Enemy

Neon wasn’t always a top duelist, but with the firing🌳 accuracy that she can pair with her dashing speed, it’s almost an unfair fight against her. She can provide support quickly by running from across the map, and she can be a difficult target to land a headshot on.

Cypher trips can be used to catch a pesky Neon mid-run. Make sure that you♏r path is clear before making a mad dash ahead of you.

She can throw a stun and follow it up with her speed to get right up to an enemy’s face with a shotgun. Her ultimate ability can also wipe out a squad that finds it difficult to hit such a pesk💝y moving target.

1 Jett

Jett has always been a reliab💎le agent and a favorite amongst duelist mains. Her ability to get onto unexpected surfaces and precarious angles makes her powerful thanks to her ability to immediately throw a smoke and dash out right after. Anyone who’s been on t﷽he receiving end of a bullet from a Jett on an Operator can agree that she can be one terrifying duelist to peek.
