Set in Lisbon, Lisbon District, Portugal of Omega Earth within the Valorant universe, Pearl is the game’s eighth map and latest venue for wild goose chases. Codenamed “Pitt”, this unique map was added to the Tactical Shooter game on the 22nd of June, 2022.
“Attackers push down into the Defenders on this two-site map set in a vibrant, underwater city. Pearl is a geo-driven map with no mechanics. Take the fight through a compact mid or the longer range wings in our first map set in Omega Earth.”
We had our chance to get used to Pearl and it is already included in the Competitive que. As such, it’s never a waste to learn more about this map if you’re a regular Valorant player seeking to climb the ranks. It is an integral part of any best Valorant boosting activity and should not be made an enemy of. Rather, players need to realize all the fun possibilities it offers and make the best of this map. So let’s take a look at the best Agents to play on Pearl!
God Tier
Below Agents are the most effective characters to secure yourself a quick victory on Pearl. Their abilities can do so much more thanks to the little nooks and crannies of the map, allowing you to catch your opponents off guard and gain quite the tactical advantage!
- Fade
- Omen
- Yoru
- Viper
- Sage
- Cypher
It’s almost as if Fade was designed with the Pearl map in mind to some degree. This would come as no surprise as she is the latest Agent too. Her abilities can be effectively thrown across openings in the structures to reveal enemies and thrown them into disarray. Her range is just right too!
Omen’s here thanks to the global range of his Smokes, owing to how big Pearl is. He can use his teleports to give the team significant advantage in addition to gathering info.
Yoru is highly mobile and is pretty good at clearing those tight corners. Play him as aggressively as possible on Pearl!
Ever since her buffs, Viper has become an unstoppable monster in Valorant and she won’t falter on Pearl either. Line-ups are key and she can maintain an insane level of control here thanks to the map layout.
Sage and Cypher are the universal Sentinels of Valorant and they remain strong on Pearl. Getting info, stalling the enemy, supporting the team and holding sites are just a thrill with these two!
Great Tier
These Agents may not be as proficient as those above on Pearl, but they sure can get the job done.
- Chamber
- Jett
- Brimstone
- Neon
- Raze
Chamber and Jett are here to Op everyone down. Pearl is relatively Defender sided and presents so many superb Operator spots to abuse. With their high mobility, you can secure your team a clean pick-off and retreat back to safety in seconds.
Brimstone has very decent range and he can effectively use his Smokes to obstruct enemy vision from tricky angles. He is great for post-plant too, so get your Line-ups on track!
Neon and Raze are here thanks to their highly offensive mobility. While the map is huge and they can only get so far, that one leap of faith may be all your team needs to secure the whole round. These gals can easily use their abilities to storm a site and get some much-needed pick-offs.
Good Tier
These Agents are generally good picks on Pearl, with so much to offer if played right.
- KAY/O
- Sova
- Skye
KAY/O is a hard counter to almost every single Agent in the game and he can really bring the house down on Pearl if his utility hits the mark. He is a great Initiator who can really put his foes in a pickle when Defending or Attacking. There are a number of openings with specific lineups for him to take advantage of.
Sova was the master of Recon before Fade entered the fray and he is still very viable. He can scan sites, clear corners, play post-plant and do so much with perfectly timed lineups on Pearl. Skye’s creatures can gather so much intel, especially when pushing into a site and clearing corners. Her range is decent and her capabilities as an Initiator + Healer make her an all-rounder Agent even on Pearl.
Thus concludes this list on our top picks for the best Agents to play on the Pearl map. As time flies, players discover more and more possibilities for this map alongside the whole plethora of Agents available to us. So keep experimenting and just try to enjoy this map first! Once you develop a certain level of acceptance for Pearl, you’ll find yourself having more fun than ever before~
