Playing in a competitive solo queue, in Valorant’s Ascent can be easy with the right choice of agent.

The game provides a variety of agents. Although the new players have access to only 5 agents, they can unlock the rest by completing the contracts. These agents are classified into four groups - duelist, controller, sentinel and initiator. Every Valorant agent has a unique set of abilities.
