VALORANT Agents — All 29, by Role and Round Job

VALORANT has 29 agents in patch 13.06: 8 Duelists, 7 Initiators, 7 Controllers and 7 Sentinels. This list sorts them by what the round needs — entry, information, a stall, flank cover, a retake or a post-plant — and by the seven maps in the current pool: Abyss, Ascent, Haven, Lotus, Split, Summit and Sunset. Map fit here is our editorial reading, not a pick rate.

Map fit is editorial guidance, not live pick-rate data — that data is not available to us. Rotation and roster checked against patch 13.06.
