Valorant Agent Classes Explained
Valorant consists of four types of agent classes. Each character has shared classes and their abilities or gameplay tactics depend on that in Valorant. Each team composition should always have at least one character from each class in Valorant. Let us discuss the agent classes in Valorant here:
Duelist
The agents who belong to the Duelist class are best for getting first blood in Valorant. These characters can individually take fights with enemies using their abilities. They are ideal for early gun fights and penetrating the sites. Duelists can be useful on anymap in Valorant.
Controller
If Duelists are best for securing entry kills, they need huge help from characters who are great at blocking enemy vision in Valorant. That character class is called Controllers, whose abilities can make it easier for teammates to enter a site and focus on one particular section of the map while blocking other areas with smokes or vision-blocking skills.
Initiator
Initiator characters are most important in terms of game mechanics. These Valorant agents have the ability to gather information about enemy locations. As an information-first type of game, Valorant Initiators are must-have characters in your composition.
Sentinel
The only defensive class in the Valorant character list is the Sentinels. While other classes are great for attacking and taking control of the site the attacking round contains 12 rounds. That is why Sentinels are crucial in the 12 round of defense. These Valorant agents can single-handedly stall enemies to enter the site or even eliminate a number of enemies.
No, Kay/o knife and ultimate can stop all active abilities, including Blade Storm, Overdrive, and Dimensional drift. Deployed abilities are not affected, such as Lockdown, Boombot, and Wingman.
No, Clove can use Ruse/Smoke post-death and does not get affected by the Kay/o knife.
Vyse, the latest addition to the agent roster is 26th in Valorant and also the 6th sentinel agent.
Yes, Clove gets their weapon back in hand after self-revive. They can also use it after dying in ISO Ultimate.
