Raze and Jett are Valorant’s earliest agents and are present in the game’s beta phase. Moreover, Raze is a useful agent that players just love! Raze’s abilities like Paint Shells, Boom Bot, and Showstopper are some abilities Riot Games designed to doll out massive damage and clear corners. And considering ISO’s invincibility frame that his signature ability, Double Tap, grants him, the agent can nullify Raze’s Showstopper, which is destined to kill upon contact!

Moreover, Valorant players know Jett as an agent famed for her hit-and-run playstyle. However, with ISO’s contingency and barrier abilities, players can easily outsmart this strategy. Furthermore, players can use ISO’s Undercut, which can pass through walls, to catch lurkers like Jett off guard! Moreover, ISO’s ultimate Kill Contract can pull one over both Raze and Jett. This makes ISO one of the best duelist agents of Valorant.

However, it’s still relatively early to say whether or not an ISO will topple these two OG agents’ rankings, as both Jett & Raze thrive off of exceptional movement mechanics! Moreover, these agents can do their absolute best even in solo situations, while players can bring out the best of ISO with agents who can duo with the new duelist. Right now, it’s not certain whether ISO can top these two, as not much time has passed since the agent landed in Valorant!
