All agents available in VALORANT

VALORANT is a mix of a first-person tactical shooter game and an RPG, in which players have to choose an agent depending on the playstyle and map. In such a way, the game looks like CS:GO and famous MOBA games (Dota 2 and LoL) where players pick heroes with unique skills and abilities.

In this material, we will talk about all agents in VALORANT, their stories, and discuss skills. We will not forget about the new 20th agent who has recently appeared in the game. In general, we will take a look at all agents available in VALORANT.

To make it more comfortable, we will divide the existing agents by roles: controllers, sentinels, initiators, and duelists.
