In the pool since March 17, 2026

Best agents on Lotus: Omen, Astra, Cypher, Sage

Lotus gives each site a rotating door and a breakable wall, so controllers and sentinels who can hold or seal those extra entries get picked most.

Duelist

Raze Strong

Boom Bot and satchels clear the tight rooms behind each door

Phoenix Strong

Flash entries push through doors without checking angles first

Dash punishes defenders peeking the open mid courtyard

Initiator

Skye Strong

Trailblazer scouts blind rooms behind the breakable walls

Controller

Omen Core

Smokes cover site doors cheaply while rotations use back tunnels

Astra Strong

Global stars watch all three rotating doors at once

Viper Situational

Wall blocks a door lane so defenders commit to one direction

Sentinel

Cypher Strong

Trips catch flanks through the breakable walls and doors

Sage Strong

Wall seals a rotating door shut to stop a fast rotate

Chamber Situational

Trademark holds a doorway choke from a safe angle

As of October 14, 2026, patch 13.08 (Bind and Corrode in, Ascent and Split out). Tiers come from vlr.gg agent pick rate pages for the three VCT 2026 regional Stage 2 leagues on maps that stayed in the pool and the matching Stage 1 leagues for maps that rotated out, checked against official Riot patch notes for map pool and design details. Corrode tiers come from the four VCT 2025 Stage 2 regional leagues, the last pro events that played it, and Bind tiers come from VCT 2026 Stage 1. Sources: 1, 2, 3
