Killjoy is the best Valorant agent, here’s why

In 2023, the Valorant character roster is stacked with 21 options, and most are great at what they do. Some agents are most viable at their best maps, while others are all-rounders. Coincidentally, the few all-rounders that Riot’s FPS game has are all duelists. The “side-classes” are fixed for specific maps and scenarios or for those happy with playing support. Killjoy, however, is the first support who breaks this mould as Valorant’s most versatile sentinel.

I started Valorant in Project: A as Sage. And after dabbling with a couple of agents, I was still stuck in Platinum. It took me a very long time to notice that the cure for my ranked ails is dressed in yellow and wears round specs. Killjoy is one of the most underrated agents in Valorant. Sure, Jett has a higher potential for clip-worthy plays, but Killjoy is the true unsung heroine.

Sage is still relevant, and so is Cypher. The former became less viable after slight nerfs, and the latter is still a situational pick despite a complete rework. The last sentinel, Chamber, failed to survive the nerfs, and has largely dropped into obscurity. So Killjoy is the only agent who remains unfazed by all of the nerfs and buffs. It’s as if her kit is immune to the shifting meta. This sentinel is a magician in the hands of newcomers and pros alike, across all maps.

Conversely, Killjoy stays by my side on my worst-aim days. I may not get a lot of highlight-worthy content, but the jolly sentinel has helped me maintain a winning streak. On good
