Valorant is a tactical multiplayer team-based first-person shooter developed by Riot Games, the creators of League of Legends, with a focus on esports. The game resembles a mix of CS:GO (gameplay and map design), Team Fortress (visual style), Overwatch (unique characters, active use of abilities) and the studio's own solutions.
5 best Valorant agents to pair with Brimstone
Butcher79
Valorant is an FPS (First Person Shooter) tactical game that combines the concepts of high-energy gunplay and strategic thinking. The game provides its players with an extensive roster of characters with different abilities, allowing them to experiment and create different lineups.
Valorant divides its Agents into four different types. These include Controllers, Duelists, Initiators, and Guardians. At the moment, there are a total of 21 agents to choose from in the game.
Brimstone has been in the game since the beta phase. It falls under the category controller. To play effectively with Brimstone, he can be paired with various Agents from Valorant.

Neon and four other Valorant agents that pair perfectly with Brimstone
1) Neon
Neon is an Agent who hails from the Philippines and falls under the category of Agent Duelists. She is a speedster in Valorant and can quickly enter the site to get kills, which results in a safer pass for her team.
Brimstone Stim Beacon is perfect for neon networks. At the beginning of the round, he could just throw it at her, increasing her super speed even further. This will result in enemies being caught off guard as they won't expect someone to enter the site so quickly.
2) Viper
The Viper has been in the game since beta and falls under the Controller category. It is easily one of the most difficult agents to master as it requires a lot of micromanagement.
Brimstone as a controller can be very effective. But it lacks what other Controllers have, which is range. This is where the Viper can come in for a dual controller setup.
Viper can use her Toxic Shield to cut off half of the site, while she can use his Skye Smokes to further block enemies' vision in that half. These two Agents can also work very well in a two-layer post-landing scenario, as Brimstone has his Incendiary combined with his teammate's Snake Sting to stop the defuse.
3) Breach
Breach hails from Sweden and is also among the agents that have existed in Valorant since the beta phase. He falls under the category of Initiator. Breach features help with aggressive approaches and fast execution on the site.
The best way to use them together is to combine their ultimatums. During a round, if Break hears multiple enemies in one location, he can use his Rolling Thunder to stun them all in one location. Brimstone can then use his orbital strike, which can lead to some easy multi-kills. The former can also achieve something similar with a perfectly synchronized fault line.
Both of these agents can also be useful for a post installation scenario. Break can use his Aftershock while Brimstone can use his Incendiary to stop the disable.
4) Cypher
Cypher is originally from Morocco. He falls under the Guardian category of Valorous Agents and is one of the hardest to play. Cypher players are known to be able to pin the site on their own.
The way Brimstone and Cypher work is very simple. Sky smokes of the first have limited vision within. So on the defensive side, when the enemies show presence outside the site, you can use the smoke in such a way that they land on the Trapwire. This can cause enemies to foolishly enter it and hit the wire.
5) Reina
Reyna was the first agent to be released with the launch of Valorant. She falls under the Valorant Agents Duelist category. Reyna is very self-sufficient and her job is to take on and win as many duels as possible. Her ability to overheat is perhaps the best in her kit.
Now Brimstone and Reyna together do not provide a tactical advantage. But there is something really fun that Brimstone has to offer Reina, which is his Stim Beacon.
Reyna's ultimate ability is Empress, which grants her the ability to completely disappear and heal after being killed, as well as increasing her weapon's rate of fire. This can be further boosted with a Stim Beacon, making your vandal feel like Odin. This is one of those fun things that every player should try for themselves.
