Maximise your chances of victory before the match has even begun
It might be a bit reductive to say that manyValorantmatches are won or lost before the first round even begins, but it’s a nice, pithy way of saying “pay attention to your team composition, people”, so I’m gonna use it. If your thought process for picking your agent at the start of the match boils down to always picking your favourite or most familiar character, then you’re putting your team at a disadvantage. But fear not - ourValorant team comps guidewill walk you through how to create an absolute powerhouse of a team for every single match.

Best agents for any Valorant team
We’ll talk about how to balance out your team with a diverse selection of roles and abilities shortly. But first, let’s talk about the elephant in the room - the fact that, as Valorant currently stands in its closed beta state, some characters simply give your team a better chance of winning than others.
So let’s have a brief chat about the four top-tier agents in Valorant, and what makes them such a fantastic pick in almost any situation.
Sage
Take a look at ourSageguide for 32 practical tips covering each of her abilities and more.
Cypher
OurCypherguide is packed with practical tips and tricks that every Cypher main should know, including the most powerful camera placements across all three maps!
Breach
Breach is a tricky agent to get to grips with, but once it clicks, itreallyclicks. The king of initiation (sorry Phoenix), Breach’s skillset revolves around poking enemies out of position without ever having to expose yourself. If you’re pushing as a team towards a site, your strategy needs to revolve around Breach. No other agent can ruin an entire enemy team in the space of half a second like Breach can.
If you need some help on making best use of Breach’s abilities, check out our in-depthBreachguide.
Brimstone

Creating a balanced team in Valorant
Obviously we’re not saying that any team which doesn’t contain the above four agents is doomed to fail. Striking a good balance of abilities and roles is just as important as the contributions of any one character. But what roles?
A solid approach is to make sure you have the following capabilities in your team. For each one, I’ve added in parentheses the best agents for each capability.
There’s no harm in having multiple agents that excel at a particular one of these roles - not unless it precludes you from covering all other roles as well. You could, for example, very happily have a Breach and a Phoenix on the same team, as long as you made sure your other choices gave you decent smokes, at least one recon expert, a strong defender, and so on.
How to build around your teammates
Obviously this isn’t an exact science, and you can most certainly win a match regardless of how your team composition matches up with the enemy’s team composition. But once you reach the higher levels of Valorant play, your choice of agents and your overall team synergy becomes instrumental in the outcome of a match.
With that, we’ll conclude this Valorant team comps guide. But we’ve got plenty more to offer for any Valorant player looking to increase their skill and knowledge! Click any of the links below to head over to a different Valorant guide.
