Best and Worst Agents for Ascent in Valorant

If you’re looking for the best agents to pick and those to avoid in Valorant’s Ascent, look no further! the team’ve detailed the best agents to lock in on the Ascent map. 

In Valorant’s fast-paced and action-packed maps, the battle starts way before the first round—it starts in the agent selection. While Riot Games tries to balance the agent pool as much as possible, some agents are better on one map than the other. 

As one of the game’s older maps, Ascent is one you must master! It also resembles Valorant’s ranged map, so Ascent may never leave the game’s map pool. 

Agents like Reyna and Iso rely on player skill instead of the Agent’s abilities. the team’ve decided not to include these two agents on the Best Agents in Valorant Maps lists.

Best Duelist in Ascent

Jett

A duelist’s central role is to get over choke points more easily than other agents, and no pick does this better on Ascent than Jett. Jett’s ability to dash into some of the tightest chokepoints on B Main and A Main makes her kit advantageous to the whole team. 

Some of Jett’s most common plays involve her Updraft for a peeking advantage in mid or dashing into her Cloudburst at A. She also synergizes well with the Cypher trips for Defending and KAY/O’s suppressing knife for the attacking half. 

Best Initiators in Ascent

KAY/O

Given Ascent’s tight entryways and corners, KAY/O’s blinds and knife work well to clear these chokepoints and give your team the upper hand when maneuvering into the site. You can throw KAY/O’s knife in many places to clear even the most tricky hiding spots for the defenders. 

Meanwhile, KAY/O’s Fragment nade can protect the tight entryways when defending, warding off any enemy who tries to enter the site with a high-damage nade.
