Many players around the globe test their skills in competitive FPS shooters to dominate the leaderboards.Valorant, one of the most popular FPS shooters, attracts beginners and veterans from other FPS games.
With Agents' unique abilities, the game requires players to have better game sense, utility usage, and pristine tactical decision-making.
However, understanding your first character matters most for a new player. you’re able to help your team with crucial picks and suppress enemy aggression.
That said, here are our seven best agents for beginners inValorant. They’re easy to use and grasp, and don’t interrupt your team’s gameplay.
A grenade that detonates upon landing, forcing characters caught within to crouch and move slowly
Sonic Sensor
Concusses characters in an area if footsteps, weapons fire or significant noise are detected
Barrier Mesh
A barrier that barricades an area to block characters from moving
Annihilation (Ultimate)
Shoot a cocoon an enemy along a path. The enemy dies at the end of the path. However, the cocoon can be destroyed by enemies
She’s a pretty straightforward agent who defends the site or backline. With theSonic sensors or Barrier Mesh, you can suppress a potential rush to a bomb site and give your teammates breathing room to rotate.
The Gravnet grenade goes hand-in-hand withother agents' throwables to kill the enemies. However, enemies can remove the Gravnet from their bodies and destroy their Sonic sensors.
It’s advised to place them so they’re not easily detectable since they cover quite a large area.
Deadlock’s ultimate can bounce off a wall, so practice her ultimate in the range before queuing for a match.
A grenade that does damage over time in an area after a delay
It can either concuss the enemy or plant/defuse the spike. After it returns to a globule state, it can be picked up to reuse.
She can blind the enemy players and can be picked again to reuse after it reverts into a dormant globule state
Thrash (Ultimate)
Steer her to detain players in a small radius. She can also be reused after picking.
One of the biggest pros of Gekko is that his flash,Dizzy, doesn’t blind teammates, which is one of the biggest issues when you start out in the game. After planting the Spike to kill a defuser, a mosh pit can be used, and Wingman acts like another person in the game.
While Wingman cannot shoot at enemies, it can plant or defuse the spike on your command. As for Thrash, she’s quite a lifesaver when a group of enemies is at a specific place.
You can detain them in one go and have your teammates rush at them. Almost 75% of Gekko’s abilities can be reused in a match.
