How Duelists fit a team

Roles in VALORANT are Riot's own classification, attached to each agent in the game's data rather than assigned by the community. They describe what an agent is built to do, not what a team is required to run — compositions vary by map and by preference, and no role is mandatory.

Every agent has four abilities plus, in some cases, a passive. Two are bought each round with credits, one is the signature ability that refreshes for free, and the ultimate charges through orbs, kills and spike plants or defuses. That structure is the same for Duelists as for every other role — what differs is what the abilities do.
