Starting in Valorant, it's best to pick agents that are straightforward to use, offer utility for the team, and help you learn the game's mechanics. Here are the easiest agents to begin with, categorized by their roles:
Phoenix:
Why? He has a self-heal, simple flash (curveball) which is easy to use, a simple wall and Molotov which is great for acquiring space, and his ultimate (Run It Back) is forgiving, allowing you to respawn if you die.
Playstyle: Great for learning gunplay while staying somewhat safe and entry fragging for the team.
Reyna:
Why? Her healing/dismiss mechanic (Devour/Dismiss) activates on getting kills, so she's simple if you're good at aiming. She can frag, and after that use her abilities to either heal herself or dismiss out of the conflict of the sites. With powerful flashes she can entry on site for the team too! providing an all rounder kit.
Playstyle: Focused purely on fragging without needing much team utility. and is able to easily secure site.
