The S-Tier Valorant Agents of Patch 6.08

Share This Post

Patch 6.08 came with some major updates, affecting many Agents and roughing up the tier list. Here is a list of the S-Tier Valorant Agents you can try your hand at if you want the best of the best.

Yes, you can still use anyone your heart desires and still be successful. Mastering an Agent pays dividends, but this list is just an indicator of who has the tactical advantage in the current meta.

Fade has been popular since her release last year in Act 4 Episode 3 and has continued to be. Her toolkit makes her one of the best Initiators to have on a team and not to mention, other than tracking down opponents, she can inflict them with Nearsight, Deafen, or Decay.

Despite being the newest Agent on this list, Gekko has become a go-to for many players. As they got more comfortable with his playstyle, they learnt how best to utilise his toolkit and abilities – especially Wingman and Mosh Pit. Ultimately, making him a very strong Agent in the right hands.

Viper

As a Controller, Viper can both lock down a site while also being good with attack. With a poison that can decay opponents and make them more vulnerable to attacks, she can pretty much hold her own without any help.

Jett

To no surprise, the last on this list is Jett. You cannot write an S-Tier Valorant Agent list and leave her out.

Since her introduction to the free-to-play first-person shooter game, she has been solid – enough to solo a game if she has to. With her ultimate, she does not even need a weapon. But even then, her ability to hold a site makes her a great member of a team as well.

Do you agree with this list? Which other Valorant Agents should we have included? Remember, this does not set in stone your success rate with these Agents and others. It’s how you play them that truly counts.

Meme Monday: Lighten(ing) your mood with these Neon memes

It’s been a few weeks since the release of Valorant’s newest agent, Neon, and she’s been a blast to play with (and against.) Naturally, a character as fun as Neon will breed memes equally as electrifying. Here are some Neon memes that are guaranteed to strike your funny bone.

Meme Monday: You’ve seen the Spider-Verse, now get ready for the Riot-Verse

It’s only midway through January and Riot is already treating us well with the release of two new characters: Neon from Valorant and Zeri from League of Legends (LOL). Even better, Neon is canonically Filipino, a huge win for Southeast Asian gamers! But we, like the rest of the internet, are seeing double – Neon and Zeri are practically the same person. Case in point: They are voiced by the same Filipino voice actress, have very similar abilities and look basically identical. We can’t help but think that Riot is trying to hint at something…a Riot multiverse, perhaps? It won’t be too far-fetched, since crossovers between both games have happened and Valorant’s storyline literally revolves around a second Earth from another universe. Alright, that’s enough speculation. This Meme Monday, we bring you PROOF of the Riot-Verse. Well, kinda.

Behold the multiverse theory! Neon and Zeri: one and the same?

The term ‘multiverse’ has been thrown left and right a lot lately. It’s been the talk of the town. While most have heard about this from the ever-growing Marvel franchise, gamers have noticed a similar happening in the esports scene.

I am Female. I AM also ESPORTS!

Firstly, yes, I am female. Yes, I have a masculine name. I love playing FPS games, especially team based ones like Overwatch and Valorant, which often require team communication in order to win. However, I rarely talk. Why? Because I am female. Just look up videos talking about or showing the female gaming experience on YouTube and you’ll know exactly why. Rude remarks, people making a big fuss just because I sound like a girl and people blaming me for doing badly solely because of my gender and not because of my lack of skill. The list goes on.

2021 was a bit of a Riot, will it continue?

As we make our first steps into 2022, we look back at 2021 as Riot Games managed to keep us sane during tough times. Eat your heart out Blizzard-Activision because Riot Games are coming up with new things one game at a time while you only rely on nostalgia trips and scrape the bottom of the barrel.
