Valorant Patch 3.06 is live, featuring agent tweaks and a new map in the pool. As a high-rank player with extensive competitive experience, I've analyzed the meta to rank ultimate abilities for ranked and competitive modes. Use this tier list to select game-changing ults or discover your next main agent.
This tier list ranks Valorant ultimates across four tiers, from S (meta-defining powerhouses) to C (situational picks). Rankings draw from pro play, ranked ladder data, and hands-on testing in Immortal queues.

Lockdown (Killjoy): EQUIP Lockdown device. FIRE to deploy; after ascent, it traps enemies in radius. Destructible by foes.
Viper Pit (Viper): GET a chemical sprayer. FIRE to unleash a vision-denying, health-draining cloud. HOLD to disperse early.
