Cypher is one of Valorant's best Agents. The things some players can do with Cypher are unbelievable. While hard to master, his abilities are quite simple to figure out.

Sova is a very useful Valorant Agent, much like Cypher. Beginner players will find that his abilities are as easy as they are important. Beginners should focus on helping the team as much as possible, rather than trying to be the MVP.

His Recon Arrow and Owl Drone can give out great intel. Shock Dart is a wonderful way to do damage from a safe distance. The same goes for his Ultimate, Hunter's Fury.
