Choosing an Agent/Character in Valorant is a very important part of the game. The agent is not a simple character design in Valorant. Every agent had their own abilities and advantages in the game. You can choose the agent depending on your game style. Some agents are attackers, which you select to play in the front line. Some are defenders used to control the site, and some are used to enter or retake the site.
There are 19 Valorant Agents in the game; these are divided into four types. These types are known as Controller, Sentinel, Initiator and Duelist.
Initiator : Sova, Breach, Skye, KAY/O, Fade
Controller : Brimstone, Viper, Omen, Astra,
Sentinel : Killjoy, Cypher, Sage, Chamber
