VALORANT Agents
All 30 VALORANT agents as of patch 13.09 – sorted by role, with where they come from and when they were released, plus how to pick your first agent.
VALORANT has 30 agents after patch 13.09, split into four roles. The newest is Hush, a telekinetic Duelist from China who arrived on October 27, 2026 – the ninth Duelist. Before her came Miks, a Croatian Controller (March 2026), and Veto, a Senegalese Sentinel (October 2025).
Every agent has four abilities: two basic abilities you buy each round, a signature ability that comes back for free, and an ultimate that charges up from kills, orbs and planting or defusing the Spike.
