15. Raze And Fade

Currently, Raze and Fade are considered to be among the top Duelists and Initiators in Valorant. Their pick rates are some of the highest in the game, and they possess a unique set of abilities that complement each other. They fit well into the standard Duelist-Initiator dynamic, where the Duelist uses the Initiator's utility to create opportunities.

Fade's Prowler is particularly effective in this regard, as it allows you to clear corners and anglesand reveal enemies on a siteOverall, Raze and Fade are creative and effective choices for players looking to push sites

Why Fade And Raze Are A Great Combo

• Fade’s utility, such as the Haunt, will get info, allowing Raze to Satchel accordingly into site.
• Fade’s Seize, and Raze’s Paintshell can be combined to waste time, deny a plant, or even get a kill.
• Raze can follow Fade’s Prowlers to help clear corners and take control of the map.

14. Breach And Yoru

Breach and Yoru are typically considered to be niche picks in Valorant but have recently gained popularity due to the success of Paper Rex Esports at international LANs. Both these agents can be combined to create a very deadly combo since both of them have pretty strong abilities to take on 1v1 or even 1v2s.

Their gameplay often revolves around using Breach's stun to create advantageous fights for f0rsaken. For example, in Shower (on Bind) fights, the team will stun all opponents in the area and allow f0rsaken to engage in the resulting chaos.

Why Breach And Yoru Are A Great Combo

• The combination of their flashes is more than enough to single out enemies on a site and kill them one by one.
• Yoru can use Breach’s stuns to push site, but if it doesn’t seem advantageous, he can always use his teleport as a get-out-of-jail-free card.
• Yoru can use his ultimate to gather info, and if the majority of the team is in one site, Breach can ult them for map control.

13. Jett And Skye

Jett and Skye are the most classic example of the Duelist-Initiator combo in Valorant. Despite being a long-standing A-tier Duelist, Jett remains a highly viable pick on many maps and at the highest level of play. Skye, on the other hand, is considered one of the better Initiators in the game, particularly after the recent buffs. 

To maximize your effectiveness as a duo, it is recommended to play together on the same site and adopt an aggressive, information-seeking style. This approach allows for fast rotations and the ability to impact sites that are actually under attack, giving you and your partner a significant advantage.

Why Jett And Skye Are A Great Combo

• As Skye, you can use one of your flashes as soon as the round starts to get info, so that your Jett is mentally prepared to take on duals against the enemy that might push
• Use Skye’s Trailblazer to retake the site with Jett, where Jett will follow her Trailblazer.
• If you hear someone approaching you over a corner, you can use Guiding Light to flash them, and once they’re flashed, let Jett make the killing for you.

12. Kayo And Reyna

Kayo and Reyna complement each other exceptionally well if you’re looking to push or rush a site, making them a deadly combination.. Kayo is equipped with abilities that remove enemies' abilities and can use his flashes to engage in aggressive duels without any disruptions from enemy abilities.

Reyna, on the other hand, receives a significant mobility boost and skill buffs for each kill she gets. When combined, their flashes can stun enemies for an extended period, creating an opening for both of them to strike. 

Moreover, their ultimate abilities synergize perfectly, providing them with weapon buffs and enabling them to spray through groups of enemies, even when there are smokes or flashes.

Why Kayo And Reyna Are A Great Combo

• You can use Kayo’s pop Flash to blind someone and then send Reyna’s flash right behind it. Even if someone dodges Kayo’s flash, they won’t be able to do so for Reyna’s flash
• Kayo and Reyna are the best if you’re looking to rush a Site. Their util allows you to make highly aggressive plays. You can combine Kayo’s ult to shut down opponents of their util and  then Reyna can push in with her flashes.
• Even while defending, you can use Kayo’s flash to blind a corner and then let Reyna peek that corner. If someone is there peeking, you’re most likely to kill him.

11. Astra And Killjoy

Astra and Killjoy possess some of the most impacting abilities in Valorant, which makes their defense virtually unbeatable. One of the most effective combinations with these agents is to use a Nanoswarm and a Gravity Wall simultaneously to pull enemies into a confined area, making them vulnerable to the Nanoswarm's deadly effects and most likely decimating them. 

Rushing enemies can be swiftly neutralized with this strategy, making it an excellent choice for shutting down enemy pushes. These agents are also a fantastic combination for providing top-notch crowd control, allowing them to manage chokepoints and keep enemy movements in check easily.

Why Astra And Killjoy Are A Great Combo

• Both their abilities can be used to hold off a site, deny plants and waste the precious time of your opponents.
• Killjoy can use Astra’s smokes as an escape passage on many maps if she’s getting overwhelmed.
• Killjoy’s and Astra’s ultimate can be combined to pull of some great post-plant situations. 

10. Viper And Harbor

The combination of Viper and Harbor is great, especially on maps like Icebox and Breeze, where your typical Toxic Screen or High Tide is preferred over smokes. Since these are pretty huge maps, having these 2 play on different sites can be great for stopping enemies from pushing. 

Other than that, having both these controllers is great if you’re looking to maximize map control. You can block a plethora of angles with them both, allowing safe passage for your team and yourself on site. 

Why Viper And Harbor Are A Great Combo

• Their blocking utility can hold off rushes easily.
• Great on maps like Icebox and Breeze, where usually two controllers are preferred.
• They can each hold a site separately, eliminating the time needed for a normal controller to smokes if he’s playing on an alternate site.

9. Neon And Brimstone

Neon, the swiftest agent in the game, heavily depends on her speed to outmaneuver her opponents and defeat them. And what could possibly enhance her already impressive speed? Well, the answer lies in having her dash over Brimstone's Stim Beacon.

If Neon combines her sprint with Brimstone's stim, the effects of both abilities amplify, resulting in her being able to sprint an additional second faster. With this newfound boost, Neon’s movement is even harder to track, leaving enemies dumbfounded and an easy target to be killed.

Why Neon And Brimstone Are A Great Combo

• Brimstone and create a safe passage for Neon to rush into site and stack all those kills.
• Brimstone’s speed boost to Neon makes her a formidable force.
• Neon can scout enemies by bunny hopping, where Brimstone can kill them while they’re distracted. 

8. Brimstone And Killjoy

Together, Brimstone and Killjoy are a force to be reckoned with, offering exceptional site control and the ability to execute strategic pushes. With their combined strengths, players can push sites with the assurance that their flank is well-covered.

For instance, when making a site push, players can utilize Brimstone's sky smokes to obscure the enemy's vision and prevent them from taking shots. Meanwhile, Killjoy can deploy her Alarmbot to watch the team's flank, ensuring that they are not caught off guard from behind. 

Additionally, Brimstone's sky smokes can assist with planting the spike, and Killjoy can deploy her Nanoswarm to prevent the enemy from defusing.

Why Brimstone And Killjoy Are A Great Combo

• The ultimates of these two agents forces enemies to leave the site, providing you with an opportunity to gain control of the area with minimal resistance.
• Brimstone and Killjoy are great to play post-plant situations since they have mollies.
• They can also be used to deny the plant with their heavy crowd control utility. 

7. Jett And Sage

Jett is an agent who typically takes a highly aggressive approach, often initiating peeks, especially when equipped with the Operator. Due to her aggressive playstyle and lack of healing abilities, Sage is a natural fit to fill this void. 

Sage's wall ability serves as a vital tool for the duo. It can enable Jett to peek into sites with reduced vulnerability since walling off means one less angle to worry about, or it can be used to block off one side of a site while Jett peeks the other. 

Why Jett And Sage Are A Great Combo

• The primary objective of this duo is for Sage to safeguard Jett, allowing her to play offensively.
• Sage can revive Jett if she dies while peeking early
• Sage can throw her Slow Orbs at the start of the round, impeding enemies and making it easy for Jett to kill them one by one

6. Sova And Cypher

When used together, Sova and Cypher can provide tons of map info, a key element to win games in Valorant.  Sova's Owl Drone is a game-changing reconnaissance tool, allowing you to gain visibility in areas that would typically be risky if you went there by yourself. Even if the drone is destroyed, it provides a lot of info about enemy locations. 

Cypher's Tripwires, on the other hand, serves as an effective method of preventing flanking attacks or providing early warning of enemy advancement. When deployed after a plant, the wires will reveal the enemy's position when triggered, enabling you to prepare for their imminent attack. 

Why Sova And Cypher Are A Great Combo

• Their ultimates can be combined to get some kills. When Cypher uses his Natural Theft, Sova can use his Hunter’s Fury on the revealed enemies
• They both are a great choice if you’re looking to stop early pushes. Sova can reveal enemies, letting you know that the enemy is pushing, while Cypher’s trips and cages can block the push.
• Great on larger maps such as Breeze or Icebox where getting info is tougher than usual

5. Raze And Reyna

Raze, and Reyna make an excellent duo, especially if you want aggression on the table. Reyna possesses self-healing abilities and invincibility, which allows her to sustain herself during combat. Raze has the advantage of fast movement using her Blast Pack, which she can use to either throw off enemies or reach high points on a map

Reyna's kit is highly overpowered in head-to-head confrontations, thanks to her self-healing abilities. Raze's kit is most effective when enemies are grouped together since her grenades, ultimate, and Blast Pack can disperse them. This strategy benefits Reyna because she can quickly heal to full health or beyond if she secures a kill. 

Why Raze And Reyna Are A Great Combo

• They can cause chaos behind enemy lines due to their immensely aggressive utility
• They have utility that overpowers them, so killing them both 1v1 is a pretty challenging job
• Raze can locate enemies with her Boom Bot, giving Raze and Reyna intel and allowing them to push accordingly.

4. Breach And Sova

Sova's ability to gather intelligence is highly valued in any team composition. Imagine having advanced knowledge about the number of enemy agents stacking a particular site and the weapons they carry before even entering the area. This is precisely what Sova's Recon Bolt can provide.

However, there may be instances when you know an enemy is lurking on the backside of a site, but your team doesn't necessarily have enough firepower to eliminate them. This is where Breach comes in handy. 

By using Sova's Recon Bolt to locate the enemy's position, Breach can stun them from a distance using his Fault Line. Once the enemy is stunned, Breach can use his Aftershock to finish them off.

Why Breach And Sova Are A Great Combo

• Sova’s Recon Dart can reveal enemies, and if the majority of the time is in site, Breach can use his Rolling Thunder to stun everyone inside.
• Sova’s info-gathering abilities can allow Breach to use his abilities on them, causing chaos among enemies.
• They both have a lot of utility that can create many openings in the site.

3. Skye And Reyna

With her healing and intelligence-gathering abilities, Skye is an initiator who can be a favorite duo for any duelist. As a duelist, the level of assistance you can receive from Skye is unparalleled. With her Trailblazer, Skye can explore the close corners of a site entrance and stun any enemies hiding there. 

This sets up Reyna to follow up with her Leer ability and take out the stunned enemy. Reyna's Leer is particularly useful when entering a site because it can bait out enemy shots and expose their position.

This play offers several advantages, including the potential for Reyna to secure a free kill on the stunned enemy or gain insight into the location of other hidden enemies. The combination of Skye's Trailblazer and Reyna's Leer is an effective strategy that can give your team a considerable advantage during gameplay.

Why Skye And Reyna Are A Great Combo

• As Skye, you can use one of your flashes as soon as the round starts to get info, so that your Reyna is mentally prepared to take on duals against the enemy that might push
• Use Skye’s Trailblazer to retake the site with Reyna, where Reyna will follow her Trailblazer.
• If you hear someone approaching you over a corner, you can use Guiding Light to flash them, and once they’re flashed, let Reyna do the killing for you.

2. Fade And Reyna

Fade's abilities are unnerving and can frighten her enemies, while Reyna's skills allow her to drain life from her victims. Their shared "Eye" ability is another similarity. When entering a site, Fade can use Haunt to reveal hidden enemies in the corners, while Reyna can use Leer to blind them and finish them off. This combination of abilities makes them a formidable duo for entry fragging.

Why Fade And Reyna Are A Great Combo

• Fade’s Seize can capture enemies, allowing Reyna to then kill them
• Fade can use her Prowlers to clear corners, allowing Reyna to push and take map control.
• Fade’s ultimate can deafen the hearing of your opponents, allowing Reyna to push through.

1. Harbor And Sova

Having Sova on the attacking team can be beneficial in maps such as Breeze, which are vast and open. Sova can scan the site before entering to locate any players who may be hiding. Combined with the wall Harbor creates, the attacking team can catch the enemies off guard and eliminate them without being detected.

This tactic is reminiscent of Cypher's Tripwire and Cyber Cage combo, but with the added benefit of half of the site being concealed by Harbor’s wall. The enemies won't know what hit them.

Why Harbor And Sova Are A Great Combo

• Both ultimates can be combined to get kills. Since Harbor’s ult puts a light above where the opponents are, Sova can ult that area to get kills.
• Harbor’s Cascade can block off vision and Sova can send his dart through that Cascade, revealing enemies and shooting them through it.
• Harbor’s High Tide paired with Recon Dart can give you a lot of map control with ease, since it isn’t easy to dodge.
