Valorant, the popular tactical shooter, breeds intriguing discussions among its player base, particularly when the topic revolves around choosing the best agent for beginners. One such discussion, initialized by ‘Prior_Personality793,’ centred on this captivating subject.
Summary
- Finn1ey_ suggested Skye, Raze, Omen, and Killjoy due to ease-of-use and role effectiveness. They also hinted at a learning curve – ‘easy to pick, hard to master’
- AffectionateRepeat41 proposed a more personal approach, suggesting Yoru for duelists, Cypher for sentinels, and Omen for controllers.
- K0ra, a self-confessed fan of Omen’s dynamic utility and agility, brought a more experiential perspective for beginners looking to take on new agents
Agent Recommendations
User finn1ey_ highlights four agents – Skye, Raze, Omen, and Killjoy. The ease with which they can be picked up by new players makes them an appealing choice. However, he tags on an important caveat – they might be easy to pick, but they are ‘hard to master‘.
AffectionateRepeat41 offers a somewhat individualistic perspective, urging the player to follow their preferences – duelist, sentinel, or controller. As he puts it, ‘you do you and get what you find interesting and willing to learn‘
Learning From Experience
Then comes along k0ra, who offers a different perspective. She shares her journey with Omen, an agent she was initially apprehensive about, but eventually struck a chord with. Providing an immersive experience about the constant smokes and agility Omen brings to the round, she suggests new players might want to ‘try him out‘.
Playstyle Considerations
Inddi proposes a thoughtful query that’s relatable to anyone who’s ever delved into any role-playing game – what kind of playstyle do you prefer? Advocating a brain-juices-flowing approach, he suggests new players to look at the ‘archetype that sounds appealing‘.
So, whether you’re a Valorant newbie looking to find your footing or a veteran pondering a change, the takeaway seems clear. Listen to the wisdom of the crowd, sure, but ultimately, your agent pick should resonate with you. As they say in gaming lingo, just have fun and game on!
