With dozens of unique Agents available in Valorant, the variation distinguishes Riot Games' shooter from other FPS genre representatives. Typically, the variety of available heroes becomes the main issue for beginners. To solve this problem, we offer a short top five of the simplest characters suitable for beginners in Valorant.

As of today, there are 23 agents in the game, and mentions of the next character are already appearing online. Each has unique abilities, but understanding them all requires significant experience. However, using our top five list, you can quickly adapt to most of Valorant's mechanics.

Sage

Our list begins with the Chinese representative of the Sentinels - Sage. Her uniqueness lies in the fact that thanks to her simple abilities, she is easy to master while bringing immense benefits to the team. Her main ability, Healing Orb, which makes her a great support and ideal choice for beginners, doesn't need to be purchased in the store. Every 45 seconds, it allows you to heal an ally by 100HP or restore 30HP to yourself. With it, you can always stay behind the fight and heal your duelist or other teammates. Another important ability and ultimate skill - Resurrection - allows you to bring any of your teammates back to life. Although it costs 8 points, which is quite high compared to other ultimates, it can easily turn the tide of a round or the entire match by reviving the most capable ally.

Reyna

Usually, agents belonging to the Duelist role are not called simple and are not recommended for beginners, but Reyna is an exception. All this agent requires from you is the ability to shoot accurately. Her uniqueness is that after you kill an enemy, an energy orb (soul) appears at their location. You can interact with it to restore HP or enter astral form, preventing damage. This makes Reyna an ideal killer for beginners with good aim, as you can heal after each fight and continue battling. Her other ability, Leer, can be purchased for 250 credits and blinds all enemies looking in the direction of your skill. An additional plus of this skill is that it can be applied through doors, walls, and other objects, utilising the element of surprise.

Fade

The next Agent, excellent for beginners, is the Turkish Initiator Fade. Her main speciality is searching for and detecting enemy agents. Most of her abilities are directed at marking opponents, with her main skill being Haunt. Using it like a grenade, you can throw a ghost into any point on the map, and once the ghost is revealed, it will mark all the enemies within its line of sight. Interestingly, Haunt can be placed on most unreachable textures, such as rooftops and poles, allowing you to detect enemies without exposing yourself to danger. Her ultimate ability, Nightfall, releases a wide wave of dark energy that damages opponents and reveals their location. The advantage of the ultimate is that it's impossible to hide from, meaning if you use it in a narrow corridor, your opponents won't be able to avoid it.

Brimstone

One of the first agents added to the game, Brimstone still remains effective even after many years. The Controller Brimstone brings benefits to his team with his remote abilities. Using his skill Sky Smoke, you can place three smoke screens at any point on the map, allowing you to avoid direct involvement in fights and death. It's worth noting the cost of Sky Smoke in the store is only 100 credits, making it one of the cheapest abilities in the game and raising its value since even with a minimal amount of money, you can purchase it. His other remote skill and ultimate is Orbital Strike. As with the smokes, the ultimate ability can also be directed at any point on the map, again allowing you to avoid direct combat. The usefulness of this ability lies in controlling the Spike planting points. When you receive information that the enemy is planting the bomb, you only need to target the ultimate at the specified point. This will be guaranteed kill the opponent or drive them away from the point, giving additional time for regrouping.

Chamber

The last in our list, but not least in effectiveness, is the Sentinel from France - Chamber. The uniqueness of this character is that two of his abilities allow you to obtain a special weapon. Using Headhunter, you get a heavy pistol with 8 rounds, each dealing 159 damage to the head, 55 to the body, and 46 to the legs. Additional rounds can be purchased in the store for 150 credits each. His ultimate ability, Tour de Force, gives you a very powerful sniper rifle that can kill an enemy with a single shot if it hits the upper body. It's also worth mentioning his ability Rendezvous, which allows you to place a sensor that you can teleport to at any moment to avoid a fight or just regroup.
