Reyna in professional play

How often professional teams actually pick Reyna, measured across 1,820 tournament games played between 2026-05-22 and 2026-08-20. This is professional VALORANT, not ranked — the two behave differently, and a pick rate at this level says more about map strategy than about what wins games in a solo queue.

K/D

Times picked

Pick rate is the share of the ten player slots in a game that this agent filled. Win rate hovers near 50% for almost every agent because professional matches are between evenly matched teams — a figure far from 50% usually means a small sample rather than a strong agent. Maps with too few games to be meaningful are left out entirely rather than shown with a warning.

What Reyna's abilities cost

Two of every agent's abilities are bought with credits at the start of a round and lost when you die. The signature is free on a cooldown, and the ultimate cannot be bought at all — it charges from kills, deaths, spike plants and orbs.

C · Leer: Bought with credits each round
Q · Devour: Bought with credits each round
E · Dismiss: Free every round, on a cooldown
X · Empress: Charged through play, never bought
Vitality: Always active, no cost

Where Reyna sits in the roster

Reyna was added after launch. Only 5 of the current roster shipped with the game, and the agents added since tend to carry more conditional or setup-heavy abilities than the originals.

During development Reyna went by the internal codename Vampire, which is the name that still appears in the game files.

There are 30 playable agents in total, 9 of them in the Duelist role.
