Strinova Tier List & Best Builds [Global Launch] (December 2024)

If you’ve played other hero shooters like Valorant and Overwatch, then you know that playing suboptimal picks can be detrimental both to your win ratio and KDA. So, it’s always best to familiarize yourself with the meta beforehand. To help you do exactly that, here is our ultimate Strinova agent tier list!

Strinova Agent Tier List & Builds

You can check out our Strinova tier list for the global launch in the image above. We didn’t split the agents based on whether they are good for offense or defense, but we’ve included all that info with the builds in the tables below.

Also, all agents are viable in ranked except for the B-tier one (I’m sorry, Yvette). Nobunaga and Maddelena perform almost as badly as her, though they have a bit more versatility in their kit. It really all depends on the map and what other agents you have in your team.
