The Valorant Patch 7.09 Agent Tier List is here, and it’s time to see which Agents are at the top and bottom of the meta. With a handful of Agent changes, including a nerf to Raze and a buff to Cypher, there are a few new faces in the top tier.

Valorant Patch 7.09 Agent Tier List

Tier Agents
S Jett, Viper, Killjoy, Sova
A Cypher, Raze, Skye, Omen, Brimstone
B Iso, Breach, Chamber, Fade, Neon, Sage
C Astra, Harbor, Gekko, KAY/O, Phoenix, Reyna
D Deadlock, Yoru

In this latest tier list, Jett reclaims her position as the top Duelist, even after her significant nerf in the previous Act.

The most notable changes in our Valorant Agent Tier list are the promotion of Cypher and the demotion of Raze. Raze, who dominated Episode 7 Act 2, faced the wrath of Riot Games’ nerf hammer.

Cypher, on the other hand, has finally received a buff that elevates his position above the mid-tier. His Trapwire now concusses a trapped enemy in half the time, and it automatically re-arms after concussing an opponent.

As for Iso, the newest addition to Valorant’s Agent roster, he begins in the B-Tier. His effectiveness relies on synergy with Initiators, and his Ultimate introduces an element of risk that distinguishes him from other Duelists.

Bringing up the rear are Deadlock and Yoru, who continue to struggle to find a solid footing in Valorant’s competitive landscape. Although developers have promised a future buff for Deadlock, it has yet to materialize, leaving her at a disadvantage as a Sentinel.

As the Valorant meta continues to evolve, keep in mind that this tier list is subject to change based on future patches and balance adjustments. The game’s ever-shifting landscape ensures that what’s on top today might not hold the same position tomorrow. So, choose your Agents wisely, and adapt your strategies as the Valorant journey unfolds. Good luck, and may your team rise to the top in Episode 7 Act 3!
