The Valorant Sunset Agent tier list is a must-know for players looking to improve their Agent picks. Set in Los Angeles, Sunset has two bomb sites, a three-lane design with a wide open mid. It is currently in the competitive map pool and is one of those few maps where a variety of Agents can be impactful. This gives players a wide range of options to select from.
This article takes a close look at the current meta and provides a tier list for Sunset, ranking every Agent from best to worst.
Valorant Sunset Agent tier list for 2025 (updated Patch 11.05)
Here is our Valorant Sunset Agent tier list for 2025 updates until Patch 11.05:
Trending
S-tier: Best Agent to play on Sunset
Omen’s one-way smokes are unmatched on Sunset. On top of that, there are a few elevated angles that Omen can take advantage of with his Shrouded Step. This makes him an S-tier Controller on the Valorant Sunset Agent tier list. Raze has always been an S-tier Duelist on the Valorant Sunset Agent tier list. Her Paint Shells and Showstopper offer immense value because of the narrow lanes of A Main and B Main.
Cypher, unlike Killjoy, is not limited by range, which makes him the Sentinel of choice on Sunset. He can hold down either of the bomb sites, all the while keeping a check on the wide-open mid-section of the map. His Trapwires and Spycam allow him to do so easily, making Cypher an S-tier Sentinel on Sunset.
Gekko gets a lot of value out of his Dizzy on Sunset. He can maximize the value of the reusable nature of his flash with easy lineups. Moreover, the narrow lanes and tight corners on the bomb sites are perfect for his Thrash. Apart from the value provided by Sova's Recon Bolt and Owl Drone, his Shock Bolts are very useful in breaking Cypher Trapwires, which are a menace on Sunset. These two make for the perfect double Initiator setup and can be invaluable to a team's progress.
A-tier: Worthy picks for experienced players
KAY/O has been quite an effective Agent among the Initiators in Valorant. This applies to the map, Sunset as well. His FLASH/drive can be very effective in getting first bloods, and the ZERO/point can be used to detect enemy presence in tricky spots like A Elbow or B Market. KAY/O's FRAG/MENT can also find good value in delaying executes into the site or come in handy during post-plant situations.
The same can be said for Breach, who can disrupt the speed of a fast attack on Sunset. His stuns are perfect to deal with Neon players, and his flashes, too, are brilliant for most scenarios.
Fade can easily match Sova’s value on Sunset. However, it is difficult to master Fade, and the raw value of Sova’s ultimate ranks him higher. Fade's Prowlers can still be effective in dealing with Trapwires, but cannot entirely break them. The Haunt also gets good recon value, but cannot be used as flexibly as the Recon Bolt.
With the proper team composition, Jett has the potential to dominate. Furthermore, players who are skilled in using the Operator and the Marshal should main Jett on Sunset. The same can be said of the new Duelist, Waylay, who can do just about everything Jett is capable of. Waylay can dash into sites and return to safety, just like Jett, giving her nearly equal footing to the poster child of Valorant.
Neon was significantly nerfed in Patch 9.11, making her fall a spot in the tier list. But still, she is a worthy Duelist for Sunset and can be lethal in the right hands.
Killjoy’s limiting factor on Sunset is the fact that she has to stay within range of her Turret and Alarmbot. However, she is still a great site anchor. For Vyse, one of her most impactful abilities is the Arc Rose. She can easily set it up at the beginning of the round to get information on A Main or B Main. She can also slow down fast pushes and watch the flank with ease. Her utility can also be destroyed with Sova's arrows; however, the Sentinel manages to be incredibly meta in casual and pro play.
Astra is seemingly making her way back into the meta. For Sunset, Astra can be quite useful as she can easily place her stars from any part of the map. This also allows her to lurk on the attacking half, which in turn allows for the team composition to get a little experimental. However, she is still not as efficient as Omen, but her range factor gives her an edge over Controllers like Brimstone or Clove.
B-tier: Better than C-tier on Sunset
Brimstone should not be the first choice for a Controller on Sunset. While his abilities will do the job, the biggest problem is his range. Unlike Omen or Astra, Brimstone has a very limited range. This restricts him to playing in the middle portion of the map to use his smokes effectively for his teammates. Like Brimstone, Clove also suffers from a similar issue on Sunset.
Their range for smokes is almost the same as Brimstone's, which restricts them in the middle area of the map for most of the round. However, Clove's smokes do regenerate and thus can be used a little freely. Their abilities also allow them to be quite aggressive and take duels, which can, at times, find a good amount of value.
Sage is for the creative players out there. She has some unique wall combos with Omen’s Shrouded Step and Raze’s Blast Packs, but they can potentially work only once per map.
Yoru is a decent pick for people who can harness his abilities on Sunset. However, he is not meta because this map does not require super-fast rotations, and better flash options are generally available. Overall, the Japanese Duelist is a decent option, but Agents like Raze or Jett provide more value and are therefore still a part of the meta.
Skye’s kit, on paper, works well on Sunset, but at the moment, KAY/O is a much safer and more reliable option. The same can be said for the new Initiator, Tejo, who has great space-making utility; however, Breach can provide flashes and clear spaces at the same time. Tejo falls behind when compared to the Agents in the upper tiers.
C-tier: You should avoid these on Sunset
Viper was once meta on Sunset, but her nerfs have dropped her pick rate a lot. Her Toxic Screen can still provide value, but its fixed nature makes her less of an option as a solo Controller.
Harbor is a bit difficult to get value out of Sunset. His High Tide can be quite effective in blocking the line of sight. For example, on the B-Site, he can completely block off players who are hiding in both B Market and B Boba. He can then use his Cascade to slow down flood retakes as well. Overall, it's just difficult to work with the Agent.
Chamber can have some interesting off-angles on Sunset because of his Rendezvous, but as a Sentinel, he simply does not provide as much value as Cypher or Killjoy even after the recent patch 11.05 buff. Deadlock, without some rework, is very difficult to rely on. The most important part of her kit, as a Sentinel, the Sonic Sensors, provides zero value on a slow-paced map like Sunset.
As a Duelist, Iso offers very few space-making abilities, and his impact fully relies on aim duels. Unfortunately, Sunset is just another map where he isn't as impactful. The best way for him to get impact is to combine his Undercut with other Agents' abilities to get easy kills or use his ultimate, Kill Contract, to fish out the anchoring Sentinel on the site.
While Reyna can be very satisfying to play with, it cannot be denied that she is a difficult Agent to get value out of. Just like Iso, Reyna can only find impact by getting kills. Her Leer, which is the only ability that somewhat helps the team, can also be easily dealt with.
Phoenix has not had the best time when it comes to pick rates in Valorant. He has fallen far behind his other Duelist comrades, and the same issues hold Phoenix back on Sunset. He doesn't offer speed or good utility to break the anchoring Sentinel's utility. Meanwhile, his Curveballs can be easily dodged.
