Out of the current map pool

Best agents on Pearl: Killjoy, Neon, Skye, Brimstone

As of September 19, 2026, patch 13.05 (map pool has been unchanged since patch 13.04). Tiers come from vlr.gg agent pick rate pages for the three VCT 2026 regional Stage 2 leagues on current pool maps and the matching Stage 1 leagues for maps that later rotated out, checked against official Riot patch notes for map pool and design details.
