The Reworked Bind: A Guide to the Best Agent Composition in VALORANT
After being temporarily removed from the active map pool, Bind has made a comeback with significant layout changes and fresh additions. Although most of the map layout remains the same, there are noticeable improvements to the A site, teleporter exits, and certain entrances. One exciting addition is a vent opening from the B site to the side hall.
Based on the strategies used by professional players and teams, here is the best agent composition to run on Bind:
- Sage
- Skye
- Raze
- Viper
- Brimstone, Harbor, or Omen
Sage: The Go-to Choice on Bind
Sage is an excellent choice on Bind for various reasons. Her wall spot allows her to view the new vent, and she can still effectively use her wall and slow orb to control enemy executes and post-plant scenarios. Teamed up with Skye, Sage provides incredible healing potential, which is crucial for the aggressive Raze player.
Skye: The Quick Executer
With attackers easily taking space in different areas on the map, having Skye is a tremendous advantage. Her wolf and flashes allow for quick hit executes, especially when combined with effective zoning from Viper and the other controller agents. Skye’s kit is ideal for clearing out hiding spots and corners, especially when she activates her ultimate. Additionally, she can hear the whole team after a messy execute due to the smaller sites on Bind.
Raze: The Hiding Spot Punisher
Raze has an advantage over Jett when it comes to the primary duelist role on Bind. Her grenades and boom bot provide information on specific spots and can punish enemies revealed by Skye. Raze can play aggressively with her utility, knowing that Skye and Sage can provide healing support.
Viper: The Primary Controller
Viper is the go-to controller on Bind due to the small sites and close corridors. Her walls and orbs create effective zoning, making it easier for Skye and Raze to control the map. Viper’s Pit can completely shut down any attempts to infiltrate the sites.
Brimstone, Harbor, or Omen: The Secondary Controller
A secondary controller is essential on Bind, and the choice depends on your playstyle. Omen and Brimstone offer precise smoke placements that complement Viper’s site control. However, the double walls produced by the Viper/Harbor combination can be exceptionally frustrating for the enemy team. If you prefer lurking, go with Omen. If you want extra offense, choose Brimstone. For maximum site control, go with Harbor.
