At the end of this guide, you will know every single map in the current rotation as well as why those comps excel in the current meta. The Valorant Sunset map guide and Valorant Lotus map guide will help you to use the best team comps on both of these maps.

Best Team Comps for Haven

The most optimal team composition is going to be on Haven which will include one duelist, Two Initiators, one Sentinel, and one controller. Let’s start with Sentinel.

Sentinel on Haven

The Killjoy Ultimate is extremely strong on this map since its bomb sites are more close Quarters which allows you to retake with ease. Killjoy can also use her turret in the garage to spot garage and C Long and Alarm bot inside B to get information on multiple parts of the map allowing for your team to stack the other parts of the Map.

Controllers on Haven

For controllers, Omen is very strong on this map but you do occasionally see Astra being played as well. Omen’s regenerating smokes are very strong on Haven because you can use them to deny information by smoking off lines of site and offers that are looking to take aggressive fights early. His flash also has the ability to blind entire lanes of sight since they are so tight, making it hard to play angles when combined with breach utility.

Duelist on Haven

Jett is extremely strong on Haven since there are three sites. Defending can be an extremely hard task if you aren’t getting opening picks. Jett can take early fights on any of the extremities but is most commonly seen peeking A short or A Long with her Dash to try and get an early 5v4 situation.

Initiators on Haven

Sova

Sova is also very strong on this map because his drone allows you to clear all the close angles for free such as A Short or garage. Without having to run into a judge or short his Dart will give free information on a site take that can help Jett an easier time taking space.

Breach

Breach is also very commonly played on this map due to the fact his stun can concuss an entire Lane that would normally be played. While also has two flashes to push an opera away from an angle they are posted it on. His Ultimate ability can also hit an entire site which makes it much stronger on Haven than other maps like Pearl.

Best Team Comps for Bind

In the Bind map in Valorant, it’s most common to see a double controller, setup in the current Meta.

Viper

Viper is frequently used because her smoke orb and the wall allow you to deny critical information on the attack, enabling your team to take map control and space without burning other utilities. Her ultimate is also extremely strong on the B site as it covers the entire B site, making it nearly impossible for the other team to retake.

Brimstone

Brimstone is often paired with Viper since her wall is primarily used to deny critical information while Brimstone’s smokes are used to block the enemy’s line to the site while taking the bomb site. Brimstone’s ultimate is also very strong as it can be used for post-plant situations and combines with Viper’s Molotov and Brimstone’s Molotov can completely secure round.
It can also be used to clear common angles such as lamps on A and hookah on B and the stem Beacon is also useful on this map for fast rotations while utilizing the teleporters.

Raze

Raze is the best duelist for Bind for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the boob bot can be used to gain information and clear close angles. The grenade is also incredibly strong for stopping pushes and can be used in unique ways.
Typically, if the enemy team is trying to take hookah control, you’ll see a Raze’s grenade thrown through the teleporter to stop any map control that they were attempting to take. Showstopper is also very strong since it’s hard to avoid if used correctly on bind.

Skye

For the solo initiator, Skye is the most common choice. This is because there are so many ways to hide from the Sova dart and teams don’t want a false sense of security. The Skye flash can also be used for info and it’s extremely strong as a pop flash for places like B Long.
Her dog can also be used for information to clear off all those angles and she even has a heel that’s better than Sage’s heel. Finally, Skye Seekers provides an insane amount of information, which allows you to know whether it’s a good idea to teleport for a fast rotation on attack or if you should be stacking a site on defense.

Best Team Comps for Split

In Split, the team composition consists of One duelist, One initiator, One sentinel, and two controllers.

Duelist on Split

Raze

Raze is considered the best choice as compared to Jett. Raze blast packs allow for better entry potential by breaking Sentinel trip wires and Nano swarms and her grenade can deal significant damage if thrown at choke points. Her showstopper is also useful for multi-kills and her Boombot is effective for clearing close angles without risking death from a shotgun or stringer.

Controllers on Split

Astra

Astra is the popular controller on split due to her ability to control tight choke points with her gravity well. She can also use her stars to create split-second smokes for crossing entryways without being spotted.

Viper

Viper is often the second controller used as her utility alone wouldn’t be sufficient to take necessary map control. Viper’s abilities help deny information and enable her team to lurk and take map control which is essential on a difficult-to-attack map like a split.

Sentinel on Split

Cypher

Cypher is frequently seen on the Split as his utility provides valuable information. He places tripwires and ropes allowing his team to focus on other areas and use his camera to monitor either A or B sites, this helps the team stack mid or bomb sites based on the gathered information.

Initiator on Split

Skye

Skye is the preferred initiator on the split as her flash allows for early information and assists with site entry. Her trailblazer clears those close angles that a Sova dart can miss and her seekers provide crucial information about the site stacks and enemy position in tight choke points.

Team Comps for Fracture

The team composition should consist of two initiators, one controller, one Sentinel, and one duelist.

Sentinel on Fracture

Killjoy

Killjoy is extremely strong on defense as her utility allows her to place a turret on top of the canteen to watch the arcade and alarm bot for the main, enabling her to solo hold the bomb site. Her ultimate can also be placed in the underpass to clear the entire B bomb site, which can no longer be disrupted by the breach’s aftershock.

Duelist on Fracture

Raze is the ideal duelist for this map because her paint shell is highly effective for stopping any push or clearing corners on a retake. Her blast packs also allow her to break Nano swarm while entering, which is the perfect counter since the killjoy is played in almost every match.

Controller on Fracture

Brimstone

Brimstone is an essential pick for fracture since he has the longest-lasting smokes and his ultimate is the only one that can break Killjoy’s lockdown, which has almost no counter when placed in the underpass.

Initiator on Fracture

Breach

Breach is needed for an ideal composition on Fracture due to the strength of his stun. You’ll see players using his stun on A Main or B Main early in the round to prevent opponents from taking aggressive peaks and gaining an early advantage. This denies map control and information and his ultimate is extremely powerful for retake situation.

Main

Skye is also vital for fracture as her flash provides a significant amount of information which is typically difficult to obtain without taking an early death. Skye’s Trailblazer and Seekers also help gather necessary information since the choke points are quite narrow and pushing into a stacked sight can easily result in losing the round.

Pearl Map Team Comps

On Pearl, the meta composition includes two controllers, one initiator, one sentinel, and one duelist.

Duelist on Pearl

Jett

Jett is the favored duelist on Pearl as Raze’s utility is less effective in the more open areas. Jett’s abilities enable her to take various off-angles and elevations and engage in early fights across the map. Additionally, Jett’s operator is even stronger on Pearl due to the long-range engagement.

Controllers on Pearl

Harbor

Harbor is commonly used on Pearl as his Cascade can block long-range lines of the site when pushing B Long, preventing enemy operas from gaining an advantage. His Cove ability is powerful for retakes, forcing players in post-plant situations to break it.

Viper

Viper serves as the second controller on Pearl with her wall and orb denying information and her snake bites being effective in post-plant situations.

Sentinel on Pearl

Killjoy

Killjoy is a strong Sentinel on Pearl as her turret can watch mid-link while her other utility can be set up on B Site. She can also switch it up placing her turret to watch art while setting up on A Site. This kind of Versatility makes her invaluable for team composition.

Initiator on Pearl

Skye

Skye is almost used as the initiator as her flash, Trailblazer, and Seekers provide crucial information and enable Jett to take forward positions or force enemy Jett enemy players off their angles. Denying early aggression and gathering information is key to winning on a map like Pearl.

Lotus Map Team Comp

Lotus team comps are common as the map is massive so we will have 2 duelists, 2 initiators, sentinel.

Sentinels

Killjoy

For the Sentinels the best agent on Lotus is Killjoy, it’s best to play on C site, but in general, her utility seems to fit perfectly much everywhere on this map whether it’s the nano storms and type choke points or the insane ultimate’s you can out down. It’s super easy to get an insane amount of value out of her.

Cypher

If you don’t want to play Killjoy, Cypher is still a decent option as well. Between his trips and lurking playstyle, you can get a lot of map control. Something to watch the flank is going to be very important on this map so you want at least Killjoy or Cypher on your team.

Initiators on Lotus

Skye

While selecting the Initiators for the lotus map, Skye will be the best choice to pick. During attacks, Skye can help to take control of the sites due to her flashes which can aid in a fast and aggressive play style. while defending to get a round in your bag during retake you can use them. Check out the corners and on different sites clear out the angles by utilizing the Skye’s Trailblazer.

Kay/O

Kay/O’s zero/point can be utilized to reveal the enemies on a site. Use his flashes that will be beneficial to the team and you can move into the site. During post plants or gaining space on the map, FRAG/MENT ability can be used and it will be very effective. For execution and retakes, Kay/O’s ultimate make Kay/O the best choice to pick as an initiator in Valorant Lotus Map.

Duelists on Lotus

Raze

Including Raze will be the best choice to play Lotus as a Duelist. The boom bot and paint shells abilities of Raze are best on the field and allow for aggressive play. You can go to airborne due to her Blastpacks. To secure the kills in a match, Raze’s stopper ultimate will be very helpful and make Raze the best pick as a duelist.

Neon

Neon is a niche agent that works decently in Lotus. The reason why Neon is the best choice for playing lotus is due to her swift movement. You can create a path by using her wall ability. Due to the high skill cap, it will not be easy for every player to play Neon in Lotus.

Controller on Lotus

Omen

Picking up Omen will be the best choice due to Omen’s kit, dark cover ability, and ultimate ability. Use Omen’s kit to secure the victory. To smoke in different locations, you have the dark cover ability. For teleportation to any location on the map use Omen’s ultimate ability.

Brimstone

You can cover the necessary angles during attack and defense easily by using the three clouds of smoke of Brimstone. During the attack, you can use Brimstone’s steam beacon. Brimstone’s ultimate will be used to break Killjoy’s lockdown.
Choose the agent wisely as you cannot choose any agent to play Lotus. Lotus is a massive and extreme map due to the corners and shooting angles you need to pick the best agent who will shine in Valorant Lotus Map.

Ascent Map Team Comp

No other duelist comes to beating Jett as a main duelist on Valorant’s Ascent Map. Her flash and smokes allow her to contest neutral zones of the map safer than any other duelist in the game. Unlike Other duelists, Jett’s dash is instant and does not require a kill to get her to safety. Jett is perfect for fast executes on Site as well as getting out of A and B Main tends to be more difficult for attackers. However, the biggest advantage Jett brings to a team is the ability to opt.
Mid on Ascent is hard for the defenders to play forward in, so taking advantage of the longer range with Jett’s opting ability is a must, and paired with her dash she can escape from positions that normally would be death traps.

Killjoy on Ascent

The go-to sentinel on the Ascent is Killjoy. Killjoy’s kit is perfect for locking down the hard-to-take chokes of A and B Main on defense. Her Nades shred any attackers pushing under the site and have the ability to split the execution slowing down the take and making it impossible for the other team to get all members on Site.
Her Turret is amazing for both the offense and defense. Since it gathers deep information on areas of the map that are much harder to keep tabs on with other sentinel utilities. so, keeping in a position like the hut outside of B to watch Mid and B Main is optimal.
On defense, the turret can be used to peek off of or trade or can be the cue for other abilities to be used like short darts and to B main but of course the biggest advantage Killjoy brings to a team is her ultimate. Whether it’s defense or attack it has the ability to clear entire sites on its own.

Initiator on Ascent

Sova

On the initiator side, Sova and Kay/O are the undisputed mate picks for the Ascent Valorant Map. Sova is by far the best information-gathering character in the game currently. His drone and dart can easily clear out most if not either, sites for his team. Especially considering how open each bomb site is.

Kay/O

Kay/O serves a different role as an initiator which is to put an end to the overwhelming amount of Util stopping your team from taking the site. Kay/O also provides a powerful molly to stop defenders in their tracks or to push enemies out of hard-to-clear areas like the back Site and spots like the generator. The way to master these agents on Ascent is timing, you need to use utility together with your team.
Sova and Kay/O together is a strong combination that takes site takes hard to counter while also functioning as a solid set of eyes for drawn-out defender rounds.

Controller on Ascent

Rounding up the last spot on the roster is a controller Pick. Both Omen and Brimstone have pros and cons When it comes to filling the position. So, it’s important to look at their uses separately and make your own decision from there.

Brimstone

Brimstone has fantastic utility for both offense and defense. First off, his stim beacon is perfect is perfect for accelerating your team for fast site executes. Combined with Brim’s ability to drop multiple smokes at the same time, he can drastically up the tempo for your team without giving much information away.
Brimstone’s molly has multiple case uses for both attacking and defense. On the attacking side, you can use Molly to block key angles the defenders could use to catch your team off guard or you could use Brimstone’s mollies to stall post plans through lineups and his ultimate.
On defense, his molly stops rushes in their track and helps split the attackers giving your team to either support you or to make a play to target one side.

Omen

Omen is the other controller of choice. The biggest advantage Omen provides over Brimstone is his rechargeable smokes and range of placing them. His smokes allow his team to play much slower safer. Taking mid-control in Ascent is much less taxing with Omen than it would be with Brimstone. Also, Omen smokes allow your team to safely farm the old orbs on the attack while using a brim smoke would kind of be considered a waste.
Shadowstep is also a great ability ascent because it enables Omen to play off angles to catch enemies off guard and can be amazing for navigating mid safely whether it’s on defense or offense. Additionally, Omen’s paranoia is amazing for site takes, retakes and to stop pushes in their attacks as well. You just need to make sure the timing on the flash is perfect to get maximum value.
Unfortunately, Omen Ult can feel a lack of luster in most regards. However, it still functions as insurance if A take doesn’t succeed and a swift reposition to the other bomb site is needed. In terms of temp, Brimstone is the faster-paced agent who can play an explosive playstyle but risks getting shut down just as quickly. Meanwhile, Omen is a slower more methodical choice that has more insurance and has generally more influence throughout the round but lacks tools to push the agenda.

Breeze Map Team Comp

Controller on Breeze

Viper

The only controller who can take control of this map. Firstly, the Toxic Screen will act like Harbor’s High Tide, enabling you to remove a significant portion of the vast A or B sites, making it easier to take control as you push through Main or Shop.
Poison clouds can be used to take cover, and make the safe plants inside it. For post-plant situations, Snakebite will be used. After taking control of A site use the Viper’s pit which will provide you the round.

Cypher

Cypher is an understandable pick since his camera and trips are extremely useful in keeping track of the vast amount of area Breeze has. However, most pro teams value Chamber more on Breeze since he keeps tabs on areas of the maps with his trips, and is able to move more ground on site with this tp. And his Ult is top-tier at locking down those long-range angles.

Duelist on Breeze

Jett

Jett has been the meta duelist on Breeze since the map was first released. Not only is her kit perfect for entering on the wide open and spacious sites with her smoke dash combo. Jett is one of the only agents in the game who can take full advantage of the OP’s potential. Her dash allows her to take forward positions and quickly retreat after taking her first shot.
Jett’s Ult is perfectly accurate at all ranges and isn’t affected by aim spread. Meaning, at long ranges Jett’s Ult will not only be able to outmaneuver players with the Vandal but she will also be way more accurate. Her updrafts are the perfect tool to take advantage of many vertical positions on Breeze that most agents can’t play from.

Initiators on Breeze

Sova

Sova’s dart and drone combination are the perfect tools for clearing out the only places where defenders can stay posted. Since the sites are so vast, defenders can only play a few positions safely like back site B or behind the pyramid and Orange on A. Sova’ Ult and shock darts are harder to master on the breeze but can come in clutch for getting the initial pick on-site or combined with Viper’s utility to initiate enemies playing back site.

Kay/O

Kay/O is the final pick in the meta comp because of his ability to shut down the agents who rely on their utility to keep taps on this massive map. If Kay/O is able to suppress an agent like Chamber, Cypher, or Viper the bomb site becomes 10x easier. To execute for his team.
On attack Kay/O can use his suppression to deny Viper’s wall, removing her team’s safe entry onto site. His flashes are perfect not only for setting himself up to make a play but for his teammates as well. Breeze has so many open and outdoor areas where flashing high up will cause enemies to almost never see Kay/O’s flashes coming. His ultimate is the icing on the cake for what makes him an S-tier pick since it has a massive area of effect perfect for the breeze.

Sunset Map Team Comps

Let’s discuss the best agents in each role on Sunset for starters what’s your normal team comp going to look like?

Controller on Sunset

Harbor

Harbor can work as a solo controller for a well-accustomed player. His wall is excellent at slicing up mid and his Cascade works pretty well for taking control of both A site and B site. Even his cove can be super nice for scanning a plant on those awkward spike sites. Overall, though, if you are looking for a comfortable controller with tons of tools in your kit, you can’t go wrong with Astra. She is also a great pick for the current meta on all maps.

Duelist on Sunset

Raze / Jett

Both of these agents are just S-tier in their ways and will pretty much be dominant on Sunset. They’re both excellent at taking space, switching on a map where mid and control will be highly contested having agents that are quick like this is super valuable.
Jett is fantastic with Operator as she’ll be a great option to get posted up somewhere and prioritize players elsewhere on the map. There are also a ton of excellent off-angles for either of these agents due to their upper movement.

Initiator on Sunset

The best initiator on the Sunset map is Skye but you also get a ton of value from both Sova and Fade when it comes to gathering information. These are the three best solo initiators in the game at the moment.
When it comes to secondary initiators Kay/O and Breach are great options and can make it super easy to fight for control over the different areas the map provides but generally don’t work alone since they aren’t great at gathering information and Gekko’s case, he is not a great pick on any map right now.

Conclusion

Each of the separate has its own separate best team comps. Choosing the best agent on the map will not only let you win the match but also dominate the map as well. You should choose each map’s best initiator, controller, Duelist, and Sentinel. Pickup the wrong agent for the map will cost you more, so choose the best Team comps in Valorant. All of this team composition is just a glimpse of what we have to offer though.
