Best Agents to Play on Ascent

Ascent is one of the multiple maps in VALORANT, the map features a Mediterranean town with beautiful towers, an open marketplace and so much more, and is one of the few maps set in Europe. The map has two bomb sites: A and B, and each site offers unique challenges and strategic opportunities for the attacking and defending teams.

Ascent gained a reputation for being a complicated map, however, with the right team compositions, a grain of strategies, our list of the best agents to use on this map, and it should be easier to grind. Here are the best VALORANT agents to use on Ascent:  

Jett

Jett (Duelist) is one of the most useful agents in this particular map, her abilities allow her to move around the map, take control of different areas and create a ton of space for others to take. Combined with KAYO, this duelist is not going to stop if flashes are used well enough and communicated between the teammates.

KAYO

KAYO (Initiator) is also a useful agent in this map, his abilities specialize in disrupting and disabling his enemies' abilities and this robotic agent is also equipped with flashes that make him a perfect duo for Jett to make space. In addition, KAYO has a grenade that could be useful in post plants and to stop enemies from retaking sites.

SOVA

Sova (Intiator) is a valuable asset to teams wanting to succeed on Ascent, his abilities include tools that allow him to gather information about the opposition's positions, movements and with Ascent featuring long sight lines, it makes Sova even more effective in his respective role. Sova's effectiveness lies in his recon dart which reveals enemies, so combined with KAYO's flashes into site, Jett's dash and smokes into site, it will make it easier for the team to know where to shoot and take space off the enemies. His ultimate is also used in post plants to make sure the attacking side wins the round.

OMEN

Omen (Controller) is an agent who specializes in disrupting the enemies' sight lines, a perfect candidate for Ascent. His abilities allow him to create smokescreens to obscure enemies' vision and block off advantageous angles. Combined with Sova KAYO and Jett, it makes him the perfect fourth agent in the meta Ascent composition, smoke-screening off big areas of a site and allowing allies to enter sites in comfort. His ultimate is also great to create chaos and confusion, teleporting to any area in the map.

KILLJOY

Killjoy (Sentinel) is the last and most important addition to the meta Ascent composition. She is an agent who specializes in locking down areas of the map and watching out for possible flanks, she has a perfect balance of being both a good attacking agent and a good defending agent. Her abilities allow her to hold a site alone on defense, and her abilities also allow her to stall in post plants. Her ultimate is great for disrupting enemies' execution into a site on defense side, and also fantastic to create space for allies to take a site on attack.

And that's it, with this team composition and learning the mentioned agents, Ascent should be less hassle now and become a map that's easier to win.
