5 Essential Valorant Agents For Beginners
Listed below are the five best Valorant agents for beginners:-
Phoenix (Duelist)
Phoenix is one of the five Agents available for free to new players. His Curveball flash abilities can be difficult to execute in the beginning, with high chances of you flashing yourself instead, but it can be perfected with enough practice. Mastering Curveball will give you the confidence you need to carry your team to victory in Competitive mode.
Phoenix is one of the best Valorant agents for beginners because his Curveball can flash enemies hiding in corners, providing entries to the Spike Site while Attacking. Moreover, he can heal himself with the fire pit from Hot Hands ability or the wall that he creates from Blaze. The latter can also be used as a vision-blocker, aiding his teammates to plant or defuse the Spike.
Skye (Initiator)
Beginners in Valorant are tentative while approaching enemies. By unlocking Skye, you avoid any worries of enemies hiding in nooks or corners. Utilize Skye’s Trailblazer to throw a tiger that can be moved with your WASD keys, locating enemies in its line of sight. She also has the Guiding Light flash ability whose direction can be changed by the direction of your crosshair.
Guiding Light is Skye’s most important utility. The flying hawk can travel long directions and flash enemies whenever it breaks, with the Australian agent stating that the enemy is “Blinded.” Skye is also a good team player as she has a healing skill (Regrowth) that can restore the HP of the entire squad provided that they stay close to her ability’s range.
Omen (Controller)
Omen should be on the priority list for the Valorant Agents to unlock. New players who understand his map-controlling abilities will seamlessly be able to use Clove or Brimstone. However, once you understand Omen’s gameplay, you are most likely to stick with using the phantom Agent. He has teleporting abilities that can be executed at the right moment to outmaneuver and outthink the opponents.
Omen’s Ultimate, “From the Shadows,” allows him to teleport to any location on the map and surprise the enemies from the back. He can also use the Dark Cover ability to strategically smoke different areas of the map. If that wasn’t enough, Omen can function as a Duelist as his Paranoia ability can blind opponents and create opportunities for frags.
Chamber (Sentinel)
Chamber is a Sentinel Agent from France who can provide you with the aim training you need for higher leagues. Unlike most other agents, he possesses flash, stun, or vision-blocking abilities. Instead, Chamber users must rely on their raw aim and the agent’s teleport anchors (Rendezvous) to outsmart opponents.
At the beginning rounds, Chamber can equip a powerful pistol with an in-built scope to pick up frags. Later, he can use his Showstopper Ultimate to equip a sniper rifle whose each hit is a guaranteed kill. A good Chamber user (precise shooter) can be frightening for any enemy team.
Iso (Duelist)
Iso can be extremely useful in the lower ranks of Valorant such as Iron or Bronze. Possessing multiple vision-blocking barriers, Iso can strategically change his position after using the abilities and then create different angles to eliminate the enemies. Contingency (the bullet-blocking barrier) can also be used to save the Wingman from being destroyed while the latter plants or defuses the Spike.
Albeit one of the best Valorant agents for beginners, Iso should only be chosen if players back their precision skills. His Ultimate, Kill Contract, initiates a 1v1 combat with an enemy agent, and failing it means death unless you are revived by Sage.
