SentinelMetallic mastermind Vyse unleashes liquid metal to isolate, trap, and disarm her enemies. Through cunning and manipulation, she forces all who oppose her to fear the battlefield itself.
CEQUIP a nest of liquid metal. FIRE to launch. Upon landing, the nest becomes invisible. When ACTIVATED, it sprawls out into a large razorvine nest which slows and damages all players who move through it.
Bought with credits at the start of a round, and lost when you die.
QEQUIP filaments of liquid metal. FIRE to place a hidden wall trap. When an enemy crosses, an indestructible wall bursts from the ground behind them. The wall lasts for a brief time before dissipating.
Bought with credits at the start of a round, and lost when you die.
EEQUIP an Arc Rose. Target a surface and FIRE to place a stealthed Arc Rose, or ALT FIRE to place the Arc Rose through it. REUSE to blind all players looking at it. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.
The signature ability — free every round, and on some agents it recharges through play rather than being bought.
XEQUIP a bramble of liquid metal. FIRE to send the metal erupting from you as a torrent of metal thorns, JAMMING enemy primary weapons after a brief windup.
Charged by ultimate orbs, kills, deaths and planting or defusing the spike.
They hold ground. Flank watch and site lockdown buy the time everyone else needs to rotate.
Two of Vyse's abilities are bought with credits each round and lost on death. Arc Rose is the signature ability, so it's free every round, and Steel Garden is the ultimate — it can't be bought at all, it charges through play.

Vyse has 4 abilities in total: Razorvine, Shear, Arc Rose, Steel Garden.
No. Vyse was added after release — only 5 of the current agents shipped with the game at launch.
Vyse has to be unlocked, like every agent beyond the starting few. You do that with Kingdom Credits earned by playing, or with VALORANT Points if you would rather not wait. Unlocking is permanent and no agent is ever sold as a stronger option — the roster is balanced, not tiered by price.
There are 7 in the Sentinel role: Vyse, Deadlock, Chamber, Cypher, Killjoy, Veto, Sage. Roles are the game's own grouping, not a community one, and they describe the job an agent does for the team rather than how strong they are.
How often professional teams actually pick Vyse, 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.
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.
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.
Vyse 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 Vyse went by the internal codename Nox, which is the name that still appears in the game files.
There are 29 playable agents in total, 7 of them in the Sentinel role.
The other 6 agents who fill the Sentinel role. If you like how Vyse plays, these are the closest thing to a lateral move — same job on the team, different tools.
