Best Agents to Play in Corrode
Here are all the best Agents to play in Corrode. You can test the Agents out in Corrode and see which fits your playstyle.
Sova
Sova is ideal for controlling open spaces with its long-range scouting, especially in Mid-bridge or B-main. His Recon Bolt can clear corners before making entries, and it can be assisted with Sova’s Drone for safe peeking. Early map control matters in Corrode, and Sova helps the team gain info and prepare for any opponent that’s willing to challenge their entries.
Viper
Viper has incredible site control in Corrode, thanks to her Toxic Screen. She can split areas like A Site in half. Players can clear corners and deny Spike Defuses using her Snake Bites. With Corrode’s long sightlines and plant zones, Viper’s Pit becomes a threatening post-plant Ultimate.
Yoru
Yoru on Corrode allows him to make tricky plays using his Gatecrash and Clones that can confuse defenders and create pressure. He can execute a fake push, then teleport behind enemy lines and make an unexpected flank. It’s best to use Yoru with clear plans and to coordinate with your teammates.
Cypher
Cypher in Corrode makes him a defensive cornerstone. Tripwires can be placed in the Mid or B Catwalk to watch lurkers, and the Spycam can keep watch on high-traffic areas. Using Cypher in Corrode allows players to provide information without having to engage the enemy or overcommit, keeping the defenders proactive.
Omen
Omen is a flexible pick for Corrode thanks to its verticality and layered choke points. Using his Smokes can cut sightlines during executes, especially toward A Site and Connector. Omen’s Teleports enable off-angle holds, quick escapes, and flanks. Omen is a deadly Agent in the hands of a creative player.
KAY/O
KAY/O was made for Corrode’s tight spaces. His Suppression Knife can disable defenders anchoring important areas, such as A Hall or Mid. His Flashes let the team swing angles safely and force opponents to hide. Use KAY/O with coordinated executes, especially when breaking strong setups.
Fade
Fade brings severe recon pressure in Corrode. Her Haunt can reveal defenders at off-angles, such as in B Pillar and Mid Ledge. Fade’s Prowlers can force movement, which teammates using a Duelist can capitalize on. She excels at fast-paced clears and can be partnered with Gekko and Raze to make her even more deadly.
Gekko
Gekko’s value in Corrode is thanks to Wingman, who can plant and defuse while the team can hold angles. Dizzy can clear any corners or common spots, such as Mid Ramps and B-Tunnel. Gekko’s abilities are excellent for stalling during post-plant.
Raze
Raze’s abilities suit well in Corrode. Her Boombot can check narrow hallways, and the Paint Shells can punish opponents who are tight on a site. Her utilities force the defenders out of cover, which makes taking the site easier. Raze also thrives in vertical fights thanks to her movement utilities.
The Agents in the guide can be used with the Team Comps suggested. You can mix and match the Agents to tailor your gameplay and playstyle with your teammates.
