Almost every video game fan loves them for the opportunity to spend time not only alone but also with friends and family. Fans of the shooter Valorant are no exception and also look for opportunities to play together. That's why we have prepared a guide discussing some of the best agent combinations for the recently returned Haven map in the competitive map pool, which replaced the universally disliked Breeze. This selection takes into account the current meta, so everyone can find something to their liking.

Features of the Haven Map

Haven is the first and unique map in Valorant that has several features distinguishing it from other maps. The main difference of Haven is the presence of three spike sites (A, B, and C), instead of the usual two found on other maps in Valorant or similar tactical shooters. Thanks to the three positions, players have even more opportunities for developing and devising tactics with the diverse agents, which number 24 at the time of writing this material.

Tips for Playing on Haven for Defense and Attack:

• Attack: Since the map has three bomb sites, defense often makes hasty decisions and rotates from one point to another, weakening one of the zones. Use fake rounds and quick rotations to create chaos in the defending team. Don't be afraid to change the direction of the attack if you see that many opponents are concentrated at one of the positions, as this means another area is weakened.
• Defense: The presence of three spike sites complicates the game for the defense, as there is one more position to control with the same number of players. Therefore, it's important to take control of the middle of the map to have more options for future actions. Use agents with reconnaissance abilities to quickly obtain information and reinforce the position where the most enemies are concentrated.

Haven requires more coordination and well-thought-out strategies from players than other maps in Valorant. Use the strengths of your characters and your duo. The specific agents to choose for duo play on the Haven map are presented below.

Agent Combos for Duo Play on the Haven Map

Below are some of the best agent combinations for duo play in Valorant on the Haven map, taking into account the meta established after update 9.0.

Clove + Sova

Let's start our list with the agent around whom the entire meta currently revolves, namely agent Clove. At the time of writing this article, she has the highest win rate – 53.1% (data from Tracker.gg). Her popularity and strength lie in her versatility: players on Clove can perform both as a full controller and a partial duelist. The agent has the ability to heal, and if she dies, the team does not need to worry, as during her death, Clove can use Ruse (E).

For Clove's partner, one can choose Sova. This is not only another useful and strong agent on the Haven map, but they also combine well with each other. The agents have a particularly strong combination of Clove's Meddle (Q) and Sova's Shock Bolt (Q). Clove's ability weakens enemies within a certain radius, after which Sova can use his shock arrows, dealing more damage to the weakened opponents.

Clove + Iso

Continuing the list with another combination that is currently the most popular in the game and is found almost in every match, sometimes even on both teams. This is related to the fact that Clove is a very strong agent, as we described above, and Iso is considered the strongest duelist thanks to his enhanced ability Double Tap (E).

Despite the fact that in the latest update, particularly in patch 9.0, the strength of this ability was significantly reduced, Iso has not lost its popularity and continues to be at the center of attention of duelist role fans, as his ability is still powerful and has no alternative in the game, and the main emphasis of the agent is on shooting ability.

Breach + Jett

Breach appears and is very strong on the Haven map thanks to his ultimate ability Rolling Thunder (X) and the ability Fault Line (E). These abilities are effective because the three spike sites on the map are not large, and using Rolling Thunder (X), he can stun all opponents on the site. Thanks to the large number of narrow tunnels (Long C/A), the ability Fault Line (E) can be used very effectively.

Jett in this combination acts as a complement. Thanks to her mobility, she can quickly close in on opponents who are under the stunning effect of Breach's abilities, which he can use at a long distance. Besides the fact that these agents are strong individually on the Haven map, they also combine excellently with each other.

Omen + Cypher

If you and your partner are veterans, we suggest a combination of agents that has stood the test of time and, despite the introduction of new agents, still remains at the top of popularity. We are talking about two stable and strong agents - Omen and Cypher.

The first, Omen, is one of the most popular controllers on the professional scene. As for the rated mode, the demand for him has decreased due to the appearance of Clove, however, he remains strong. Omen can create chaos on the map with his teleports and distract enemies to one position, while the team will come out on another. Cypher, in turn, performs the role of a controller and helps collect important information across the map. Although the duo does not have particularly strong combinations in the combination of these agents' abilities, the combination of them still remains very strong in a full choice of agents.

Sova + Killjoy

Choosing Sova and Killjoy, you get not only two agents who combine excellently with each other, but also two characters who completely cover the need for information gathering. Sova is one of the high-class initiators, collecting information about the whereabouts of members of the enemy team using Owl Drone (C) and Recon Bolt (E). At the same time, Killjoy can set up her gadgets that react to enemy activity. Having these two agents in your arsenal and using them correctly ensures control of the entire map.

The strength of this duo lies not only in the fact that the agents are strong and necessary on the Haven map in Valorant, but also in the fact that their abilities perfectly combine. For example, Killjoy can weaken enemies with Alarmbot (Q), and Sova at that moment can deal damage using Shock Bolt (Q). In addition, Killjoy can neutralize enemies with her ultimate ability Lockdown (X), which reduces their movement speed to a minimum. This gives Sova an opportunity to easily hit enemies with his ultimate ability Hunter’s Fury (X).

These are just a few duos out of dozens of possible combinations that can be selected from the 24 available agents in the game. So try the options we've presented, or use them as a basis and mix with your favorite agents. The main thing is to remember that the game should be enjoyable. Do not limit yourself to only strong combinations, but choose characters that bring you the most pleasure.

Conclusion

Understanding and having several effective combinations in your duo's arsenal significantly increases your chances of victory not only on the Haven map but also on any other. Use the provided tips and duos that you liked to not only add variety to your gameplay with a partner but also to play on current and strong combinations, gaining an advantage over the enemy team already at the stage of selecting agents.
