Bro I’m getting small CZcamsrs on my fyp but I’m starting to notice it’s so much more effort than big channels
frl omg main stream valorants SUUCKS
Fr
Because they want to grow their channels those who are mainstream have high effort videos but older
sameeeee
All my yt recommendation is small ytbeer
Neon can also run fast enough to run on water. There's a lore message saying she ran home to the Philippines for a weekend.
Fucken what, that shits impressive
where?

And she is the only one that can give enough power to power the portal
Cypher is a force multiplier. Not strong himself, but it doesnt matter how hard you strike if you can't find your enemy.
he also can stop a team
Iso be pulling out that domain expansion

Underrated comment

6:36 he couldn’t actually strip Reyna of her powers instead Reyna couldn’t beat him as he had no soul Reyna was too powerful taking to long to be suppressed and killed brimstone because of it
Brim did get shot in that timeline tho
phoenix is now officially my second favourite art school student
out of curiosity is the 1st Austrian?
They should add an Austrian agent
We don't talk about the first one 💀
The replies are dumb he didn't actually get in
@@Balanced-jv3of like the pink one? (iykyk)
It's a common misconception that Sage uses Ice, she doesn't. What she uses is more similar to a crystal, it seems to be a form of crystalized radianite. The Valorant team also lore dumped that her radiant power is Geomancy, aka she's an Earth Bender and not an Ice Bender.
If you want source, the valorant lore wiki lists her as a Geomancer with a citation from a reddit comment by user Altombre who has a product manager badge in r/Valorant 4 years ago that goes:
"Sage is actually a geomancer. She's the earth bender. She doesn't use ice.
Everyone thinks she does though! We don't have a waterbender on the roster."
Note that this was 4 years ago which is why Harbor who's a waterbender isn't on the roster yet.
Yea I saw that somewhere but wasn’t sure exactly what it was. So I said they’re “ice looking orbs”
Its Jade
@@gamersreactions9267 It’s jade
Actually kay/o ult and knife turn off radiants powers and radianite(which is in tech every non-radiants use) so if any one has tech that uses radianite it's now useless.
I mention that in the video. I don’t think it makes him “powerful” just a counter to to the other agents
@@KindaSubpar I think it kind of does, just not "destructively powerful." In a war where everyone is reliant on radianite, being a counter to it is a pretty "powerful" thing to be
@heatingfire1 I agree in the context that you’re using. 0:45 - 1:05 sums the idea of this video up pretty well
@@KindaSubpar I do honestly think this is a pretty well made ranking. But regarding to "a single powerful opponent or a team of enemies," It is highly likely if not guaranteed that anyone more "powerful" would probably be a radiant and can be disabled. Against a team of enemies, he can probably hold his own better than sova or phoenix since he's a machine built for war and if the trailers are any accurate, he calculates scenarios to find the most efficient way to deal with multiple enemies. The only thing I can think of that would definitely lower his ranking is the sheer skill of the other agents like sova, chamber, omen and iso, which makes me wonder why phoenix is pretty high up on the list considering how inexperienced he seems in combat in the cinematics (at least compared to other agents)
@I-C-N-H yea I should’ve clarified what I meant by powerful enemy or group of enemies. I just meant any standard powerful opponent not necessarily from the Valorant verse
Phoenix was hard carried in my ranking by his abilities and general power although I could see him being lower
The Replay system is certainly the strongest
my father is stronger
wrong channel he aint valorant
This aged well, we re getting one eventually
it might seem crazy what I'm bout to say
Nice vid! you seem like a chill guy, and it's cool to see my main at the bottom of the list. Man already lost his wife and kid and now this :)
Had to hit him with the triple whammy
*and his life in every cinematic
one thing about clove is that they state in one of their voice lines that they can just out live the enemy team, so in the end they will always win
Yea it was kinda weird to gauge how “powerful” that makes them. But I figured I wouldn’t put them too high since you can still lose fights and whatnot while immortal (Deadpool as an example)
@@KindaSubpar yeah thats fair i guess if u count them "dying" as loosing the fight they would definetly not be placed very high
literally knock clove out, put her in cement, drop her in the bottom of the ocean. it's just that simple. Immortality doesn't make a powerful character on it's own
@@Yttrinyeah lol immortality means nothing if you can’t outfight your opponent
I always saw immortal as cannot die by natural causes. Not completely unkillable. Like Dio from Jojo. Or Dracula from yanno Dracula.
ASTRA RECOGNITION!!!!!!!
A real cypher would have more than 2 tripwires, so imagine a site as an actual spiderweb and you've got the cypher special
skye boutta go ‘with this wooden figure i summon’
Love the video. I would reccomend doing a video on which agents would beat who in a fight too!
I love researching the lore of games so i love this video. Just one note, im pretty sure Sages orbs are jade, not ice.
Me too, I love looking into the lore of games without a clear story
And yea I assumed it wasn’t ice so I said “ice-looking orbs” 7:50
I like your original idea of placing Yoru higher, since I'm a firm believer that the rift is OP. I'd say he's second only to Astra - That is, unless his rift's can manipulate time, in which case, it's unbeatable. Though, there's also the question of whether manipulating/altering dimensions is stronger than controlling galaxies, which is entirely possible.
Also, we don't seem to get much info on Yoru in Kayo's old world, which can mean many things, but let's take the whole Skye discussion of her unlocking more potential and doing the same with Yoru, considering he's also a bit of a new radiant lore-wise. If Yoru gets a better hold on his powers, I don't think it's too far fetched for him to be able to just use the rift to straight up decapitate people ngl - Which could also easily be capable of killing Astra if he's in his ult, unable to be seen or retaliated against. And there's probably a lot more he could do as well, too.
Good video btw! Got me thinking a lot, since I love exploring power-systems.
good vid i respect the ranking
very good video with an interesting premise. also, i am not gonna lie your top is surprisingly coincides with mine. I would expect people to put Chamber lower, as he mostly has "rich dude" reputation in the community.
It is kinda interesting how different agents are not exactly radiant or non-radiant. In one of the emails Sage mentioned that Gekko has some connection with his buddies, which are visualized through his tatoos. Another point is that strange glow you can see with Deadlock in cinemativ for 7 when she gets bitten, and sunset when she interacts with wingman.
It also might include Chamber, as he too has tatoos(covered with radianite(?) or nanos which might explain their higher usefulness), and an ability to teleport, on a whim which are limited to radiants otherwise(yoru and omen). Also a condition was mentioned in his cosplay video, though that might not be cannon.
Probably the only problem I have with this list is putting yoru so low. If we are talking about a proper 1vs1 combat situation, an ability to simplay leave the combat, flash the opponent and then judt kill them from behind seems to overpowered.
About omen iso was essentially the best assassin in the world able to use one bullet per person yet when threatened with having to fight omen switched sides
It was portrayed as more of a moral thing holding back rather than fear of fighting omen
Would’ve been so cool to watch though
this is a great video, I don't agree with every placement but i'm still giving a like. Hope you do more valorant lore videos
Really good vid!! Just thought I'd mention, Iso's ultimate actually suppresses enemies caught in it, im not sure if it's a game or a lore thing tho
Yea I was also wondering if it was just an in game mechanic. I’d assume Iso at the very least would keep his own powers
Yeah, I just thought it would add a little flavor to the Iso positioning since he basically gets kayo's whole thing in his pocket dimension lmao, loved the vid!!
Fun fact. In the lore Harbor before getting his bracelet is referred multiple times as a cool guy when he is not on the field but as a Demon or Monster when he is in the battlefield.
Also he has a cruiser bike.
12:09 yoru's mask is believed to be an amplifier to his radiant powers, that's why he can only walk and see through dimensions with the mask
About Sage beeing dangerous with the kayo voiceline saying she's a weapon in his future
Another voiceline is one from omen, saying something like "when you heal sage, have you ever tought where are you taking from the life you are giving"
omens new buff can allow him to activate switches etc in his ult shade (I think)
this implies that his shadow (and perhaps his others like smokes) can interact with the world tangibly
it also implies he can ult to the other side of the world pick up a gun a few feet away assassinate someone and just cancel his to to go back
Great video!! I learned sooo much
Great vid, man. Been looking for a lore channel after the disappearance of Sir Jeppy. Only one issue with the list, tho, and that's Yoru's placement. I nelieve he should be above Jett at the minimum, seeing as he beat her in a fair 1v1 in the Retake cinematic. His tp was just better. Also, we see in his "My Typical Day" cinematic released by Valorant Japan on CZcams, he's capable of dealing with multiple armed targets without a weapon. Didn't see too many people talking about this so I wanted to bring it up.
Yea I watched a few Sir Jeppy vids when I was preparing to make this vid
But I probably won’t stick to Valorant though (I literally talk about anything lmao)
@@KindaSubpar don't worry, man, this game is trash anyways. When you said in the vid that you started playing it a lot, a wave of dread washed over me, like we lost a good man lmao
true, yoru in the lore probably doesn't have a time limit of his ult, maybe it taxes him physically?
but whatever the case may be, yoru really is OP
My opinion is skye should be 1.
She can technically create creatures that are biblical. Such as the leviathan. Which only god could kill. Basically using an invincible creature. Maybe use the shedded skin as armor. Full body.
Invincible unless they get up and take off the armor which would take a bit.
So, if you were to construct your Perfect Team that can be adaptable for every mission and handle any threat, who'd you choose?
Killjoy (brains), Kayo (nullification), Reyna (powerful), Sage (healing/reviving), Iso/Omen (shooter/interchangeable)
kayo(brains/nullification), sage(healing/revive), neon(power/skilled shooter), omen(stealth), cypher(intel)
i wouldnt take reyna as there could be bots with no soul so reyna's power cant be utilised, aswell as kayo calculates scenarios to find the most efficient way, so no need for killjoy, aswell as we can see neon having frenzy one taps, quick reaction time and good sound/spatial awareness in the fight with viper ult i forgot name so two birds one stone
So glad neon is on the top 5 ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Great video man 🔥
for me he deserved top 3
fade just take down 5 agents because no one knows her power, after that it will be easier to fight (he still will be in top 5)
iso can do the same, just take him one by one with his ult and no one will notice, but if they know about his architect skill he becomes a more trivial opponent
sorry, i'm min neon, it's just i want see how much power he have without her suit
PERFECTION 🥳🎉
My Main in the Last Spot😭
Also if ranked by their future versions I believe the list is like this:
Skye
Astra
Reyna
Fade
Jett
Phoenix
Sage
And those are the only changes if regarded about heir future versions (unless you count Kay/o which idk if you do) I placed Skye above Astra because she could probably create her own wooden Astra or an all powerful creature
if we go by future versions or potentials, I think astra would still be on top given she scales universal and I think that skye and sage would be closer to each other given Skye's voiceline which goes something like "Sage, how about you teach me how to revive people and I'll teach you how to control my pack". If that happens on lore, skye and sage would be op
Very good vid man keep up the good work, I will say that I am extremely confused as to why you put clove so low, they are literally immortal.
Immortality ≠ invincibility
They can still lose fights even if they can’t be killed
Omen is actually one of the most skilled gunmen. Iso has a voiceline where he talks to Omen about stories he heard while working as an assassin for the scions of hourglass
as a subpar valorant player who likes lore this video is awesome 🤠
I love when I get recommended BANGER videos from smaller creators. Got yourself a sub from me 🤝 keep making great content
Huge thanks man, new vids otw
Where did you get that breach cinematic? Never saw that one before
I kinda want to agree but you kinda have been selectively blinded by the lore you've picked while also using inference by deduction on some while some agents lacked the deduction, Added that you missed some parts of the greater world building
Stuff like
1.) Reyna getting stronger the more souls she collects. (More she kills, The more dangerous she is)
2.) Neon being connected to the radianite mesh (which for better understanding just think of it as her being connected to Earth's Magnetic fields, Essential making her a walking world wide emp)
3.) Iso having his own pocket dimension that only he can access (inferring from Clove's lines, He doesn't even need to be inside it for it to be active)
4.) Yoru's ability is not teleportation, But ripping through the fabric of reality and manipulating it.
He probably is even the one responsible for the interdimensional rifts happening in lore (example of which is the thing that Skye sees during her pv)
Don't understand? Basically he's someone who is split between infinity and 0 at the same time, If he masters the thing he can basically make portals to other realities or straight up fck up the entire universe by making an imaginary number paradox to appear
Tldr : Man can either make parallel universe connection happen, cause the heat death of the universe, or create a new universe from nothing
All of these, none of these or one of these can happen if he masters or fcks up using his ability
5) Astra is the antithesis to Yoru instead, If Yoru manipulates the instability of reality. Astra's job is to ground it so that it doesn't get fcked up. Her main speciality is "Space Manipulation" and really the fact that her kayo alt future form allowed her to destroy stars is not that far fetched, Considering that interdimesional travel technology is available. What says that intergalactic is impossible? I find it more absurd that you can travel to different dimension but not travel to space?
6) Harbor, He controls water, Not that simple actually, From what was stated omega Harbor is the keeper of the powersource of the omega valorant. But I'd rather infer that it's not water manipulation but molecular, Water just happens to be the easiest to imagine when manipulation abilities are talked about. Anyways even if it was just water, The universe has alot lot of it. Like the thing that's needed to make stars is literally made out of giant space water clouds.
7) Viper is underestimate due to the fact that she is not a radiant but don't forget she has mastering of posions and anything toxic, She's basically a walking geneva convention war criminal already by clause of chemical weaponry.
nice video bruv
Another thing about killjoy is that she basically made everything. Including the things that could kill them. (If I remember correctly) pretty sure this includes the spike.
yes the omega KJ made the spike
I feel like the player card arts and the implied calamities they will bring if their powers go wild weren't really taken into account. Like Harbor's artifact and it may have relations to the world drowning, Astra's Foresight/prophecies and player card, Jett's huge tornado player card, neon's player card, sage player card, and Clove only dying if she chooses she's too bored to come back.
lmao the clove one is so on character
i remember there was a thing about how jett was the reason why acsent was like that
great video 😀
Kinda sad no one's talking about how riot doesn't care about the game's lore anymore the lore used to be awesome in 2020-2023 but now it's bland...
I agree, I'm honestly confused with the direction they are headed. One moment we were doing alpha earth stuff and lotus was a thing which was super coo and then all of a sudden the radivore plotline emerges which was a completely confusing plotline which made no sense (I get that they were trying to show that Kingdom is a problem and the alpha earth is still a problem, but i think the storyline was a little too forced to make a few characters work: Gekko and Deadlock. Iso is kinda there, but also retains the the omen storyline). They pulled it back with Omen's storyline tho!
@@wilsonchan5711 Yes the readivore thing is cool but was completely unnecessary.
Why are they introducing completely new things when there are already so many questions we don't have answers for...
But i like what they're doing with omen and viper's lore now it's definitely a step in the right direction
ranking is dope af tho I thought Sage would place higher given that lore-wise she was able to stop a tsunami and her walls were the inspiration for the pearl dome
Nah man you did Kay/O dirty. He fought and won a war against the radiants, nullified Fade who was whooping several agents asses and is a machine programmed to face and adapt in every situation (if we consider his introduction cinematic). Wouldn't consider him top 3 but at least top 7
I didn’t rank them in relation to each other. Kayo is a hard counter to radiants and radiant tech. But he isn’t as objectively powerful as those higher than him on the list
Thanks!
8:52 I think there is confirmation that their post-mortem plane of existence is NOT the Astral Plane. Check Astra's voicemail from Patch 8.05.
15:52 I think you mean ATLAS soldiers there?
Note that iso uses ambient energy to make his bullet proof protection. The same ambient energy that lets us live. BRO CAN JUST CREATE 2000000 SHIELDS AND DESTROY ALL AIR EXCEPT IN HIS LITTLE SHIELD!
bro yoru can tear through dimension like dimensions u know how fukin much power that takes
Nice also, I don’t think sages powers are ice but jade because she can heal and her orb slows rather than make it slippery, also it is never mentioned that she has been ice powers
I expected you to rate them by how interesting their lore is, not by how strong they are canonically using the lore though, xD
Good video tho
Deadlock should be higher imo because I'm pretty sure that unlike in game, she can use her annihilation as much as she wants which would make her a lot more powerful.
How does this have only 4000 views??
Btw nice vid ❤
Thanks man hoping it keeps raking in views
Also if I had to critique one character midway through watxhing, it's your explanation for kay/o
Yes he's more effective against radiants using his kits however, yo uhave to remember that kayo does not weaken radiants, he just supresses their ability.
Without abilities, radiants are still able to fight back just as well as a human can.
So yeah
If you’re ever wondering how to pronounce Deadlock’s profession: Ståljeger. She says it in one of her ace voice lines
“There is no hiding from a Ståljeger!”
You can just say it as: “Stall-jeger”
Yea I looked up the pronunciation but I figured I’d just run with the joke instead
Now it can be for those who don’t know it, cause so little people hear Deadlock’s ace voice lines
I feel like KJ should be just a bit higher considering that it is suggested that she designed the spike
if she fights with the spike then i'd say yes
Sky creates these creatures. Unlike in game, they wouldnt self desruct after a time limit. She's likely able to control an entire army
How do you think these guys do crossverse, like I feel like they are relatively week. Could be a neat video; I dont think i've seen any valo power scaling.
Depends on the verse. Aside from like the top 5 they are pretty weak compared to most big name comic/anime characters
Nice vid omen was turned into a phantom by viper well it was a freak accident tho
I actually believe that Cypher should be higher as for gathering information does way more than just sitting on it - you stand no chance against someone who knows everything about you, and can apply this knowladge to killing you.
My reasoning behind it? Iso have failed his assassination of Omen just because Cypher has caught him "in 4K" when he came in killing distance of Omen.
I’m pretty sure Iso didn’t notice cypher there until after he decided not to go through with it
I feel like the ending implies cypher knew of Iso’s plan all along but believed Iso would drop it and join Valorant
I haven’t fully watched the video but I might already think it’s astra or clove
watching this made me realize how sick a valorant version of arcane would be
I was literally watching Arcane last night and thought the same thing
i kinda wish they implamented the whole "only can supress radiants" in the game but unfortunatley all the non-radiant mains are in the same suit as us
I like the lil guys
Now rank the lore of each map
I bet ascent has to be in F tier cus that has nothing for it
and the latest map has to be S tier cus every thing connects to it
skye & fade appreciation
I think ka/yo gotta be the strongest and op by far he can nullify radianite and that makes everyone an average human being against him its a robot with a lot biq and exp vs an average human plus he already defeated radiants like reyna that shows his skills are really good because reyna isnt a radiant that only uses her kit to kill reyna is very skilled so kayo defeating her shows that even if u r a human with a lot skills kayo can still beat them
This is crazy
I need a valorant tv show
the only and i mean only thing i dont like is the ultimate woice lines they sound a litele bit weird just there on their own
I really liked the vid! But the ultimate voicelines were very loud, compared to your voice
Yea I realized after I had already uploaded. I turned up the vids volume (my voice is usually super quiet) but I forgot to turn down the ultimates to compensate
someone actually worked out that yoru uses the most power for all of his abilities, way higher than astra
Bffr that’s like comparing Thor to scarlet witch LOLL
IMO omen’s tp is one of the most powerful abilities especially paired with a smoke or a blind
That’s for in game tho not lore 😭
@@bonsean_ but Astra is in the top 1 due to things in the game and a hyperbole XD, because in the lore you only know how to use a weapon and your astral vision
lmao same, i started in april 2023 and im still bronze 2 (i also read the lore first lmao)
You put a lot of effort into this I can tell. Even if I don't agree with the rankings: good job
Also this makes me want to quit Valorant even more seeing how toxic characters are towards each other.
Thank you
I think Neons number 2 her speed and island destroying capabilities are just too insane
The guy believes that hyperboles and atypical things are feats, the only ones with real feats are neon and omen
bro kay-o is a robot. Give him good enough specs and he tops the list in reaction time, aim, strength, and really anything.
Clove might not be powerful but she can pull a "Dormamu i come to bargain"
Viper's snakebite would have vulnerability in the real world as the poison would get into their bodies from bullet wounds, making the bullets carry poison into their bodies.
yoru should definitely be way higher up, we literally saw him shit on jett in the cinematic. His abilities are way too OP. Plus he's chill while he does it all
Can you do overwatch heroes next?
I’ve gotten the request a few times so maybe. I’d have to actually play overwatch though
What is with people getting kicked out/rejected from art school and choosing violence.
im pretty sure omen cant die tho? he just takes time to reform or something
I love kindasubpar
I've only gotten to kayo so far, but 18 is kind of low no? Like he should be on par or close to brim in skill and as a robot he would be physically stronger than humans, and he can take radiant abilities for a while, even if you base this off general ability he outscales almost everyone, he has successfully killed empress Reyna by himself, one of the strongest agents who led the radiants during the war. I'm interested to see the rest of the video but this seems like crazy kayo downplay.
Omg i love this cind of video
TWD pfp >>>
@@KindaSubpar yeah
Icl, really great video, a really unique concept, however, limiting urself to the game by saying "oh sova has 3 energy blasts" is kinda lame imo, ur rating them by in-universe and not by game standard. Also Kay/o is too low in the list, he killed Rreyna, possibly the strongest radiant by all means, and that is NOT a lowly feat, his ability is a hard counter to all Radiants, dont forget that he can also revive (given someone resets his core or whatever) but ey, you gained a sub. 🔥🔊🗣
oh brother this guy is yapping 💀
I figured i wouldn’t count Kayos nullification (0:45 - 1:05) but killing Reyna was definitely something worth considering
Main thing with that is idk how impressive it was since she wasn’t as powerful as she normally would be since he hard counters her
thanks for the sub 😵💫
@@KindaSubpar think abt it for a sec a me, kayo hard counters every single radiant. Considering radiant r the most powerful ppl in the verse, kayo should insta be top 10 no doubt. But ey, ur vid not mine. 💀
@@KindaSubpar yw twin 🤞🏾
me being like fade like she is a replica of me 😅 just in game 🤣
Astra in lore🗿
Shouldn’t iso be higher since his ult stops ability’s too? I’m pretty sure he’s probably one of the most skilled with the only contestants being Reyna and a few others
This technique pretty much evens every fight and makes it a skill battle for both fighters thus only those better will win and don’t forgot the field is likely in his advantage
Kayo is a robot created to neutralize all radiants right. He has survived a timeline where all the current roster was at their MOST powerful state, not just astra stars or jett smokes, we're talking severing of galaxies and hurricanes at will. Plus him being a robot created for this task he has instant detection and reaction time plus perfect accuracy. This instantly puts him above all Non-Radiant humans in a battle setting. Now knowing Kayo clearly can beat any human due to being a literal aimbot (pun intended), and have defeating all radiants at their most powerful state, that means the radiants (except for clove) from Alpha world in their current state are no match for him at all. You mentioning that he can only kill them once he strips away their powers is the whole point of Kayo in a fight! If youre accounting for all the Radiants abilities then Kayos ability to prevent them from using theirs (turning them into a normal human which is no match for him) is what makes him almost OP imo. Great vid tho!
wait doesnt kay/o also nullify other agents abilities not just that of radiants?
Lore-wise it only shuts off radiance (but a lot of agents use radianite tech so that counts too)
But I explain how I rank them in this video 0:45 - 1:05
SKye is just like kind of Megumi yk
Great list but isn't kayo a bit too low:v?
I mean when 70-80% of the contenders are radiants or people with radiant items, being able to completely strip them off their power essentially making it a bunch of human against a war machine, all the agents are skillful and great soldiers but I don't really think thay can win in that scenario except when the plot want them too, I don't think he is the strongest but I was expecting him to make it to top 10 or something
I think the title is a little misleading, I thought you meant that you were ranking the lore of each of the agents based on coolness or something
I would suggest changing the title to something like "Ranking Valorant agents based on canon strength" or something
Good video though!
Thanks man! I did think about how the title was a little off after I had already uploaded it lmao
ranking kayo before reyna even though he kills kayo in the canon is crazy
Bro did clove so dirty, she can res herself as many times as she wants according to a voice line she says to reyna.
gekko isn't actually confirmed to be a radiant, the animals are the ones with the radiant abilities.
There was an email from Sage to brimstone implying that the connection between gekko and his creatures is something similar to being a radiant
