Viper has to be atleast A tier in this map. She is necessary. There are just too many angles. And I feel like Viper is absolutely needed.

[dtimer]

While I'm no high ranked player, I feel like you've not treated a couple agents harshly, especially Neon and cypher. Cypher is fantastic on pearl, easily one of his best maps. The cam spots are incredible, the trips are great if you know how to place them, and he is actually really good on offence on pearl. For neon, she can take site control like a controller with her wall and take out agents easily with stuns. While they might not be the best agents, they do not deserve C tier.

[praptaszorrp]

i guess everything is alright except for neon, she can retake a whole site just with her wall. Same for mid, when we know, that mid control is a must do in this map. Even tho you have to ask your teammates for helpful utility as a duelist, I think that neon can do a lot of stuff herself, when needed.
I think that B tier would do for her.

no shot Reyna is above neon on pearl, Reyna was only really played on split and icebox if at all. Neon now has 3 viable map picks for her.

[LeafletsReality]

neon is wild on pearl fast movement through the whole map and her wall to obstruct view and her stuns are kinda mid on this map but beside the stuns shes great on this mao

Phoenix buff

Buff the Molly radius

Increase wall damage and duration

Flash replaced with:
Phoenix becomes brilliantly bright with his fire radiance, becoming hard to see (he becomes a almost like portable reyna flash when viewed from the front). If he is killed during this, he will respawn with 40 hp where he started. Ability drops a small indicator where he starts it.

Ult can be canceled and lasts 1.5x longer. It no longer leaves an indicator

[farazalikhan]

Accept or not, double controller is the meta
I played one match with Omen and i jad Brim on my team, and it was such an OP composition along with fade and sage and a duelist

[egamerwithdisease]

speaking of flashes, kayos not the only op agent. Every agent that has flashes is now op because there is such a lack of closed space where you can simply dodge the flashes.

[BebxOfficial]

finally, an interesting _and_ enjoyable valorant map. I don't think we've ever had a map that actually matches the quality of a csgo map until now. they've always had interesting but unfun gimmicks, or just been kind of uninteresting (but at least fun). seriously, this map is so fresh and nice! I love it!

[Grif_]

I love how the two agents I currently have mained are in B and C tier, and my preferred main is C tier. Neons ult has so much damage potential so I would say Neon is at least and mid to high B tier or low A tier. I agree you need heavy support, and I find Fade for distraction and Sage for heals

[unsvre]

I think omen is so good on pearl. You can take mid controle, because you have for each attack and defense a oneway smoke on mid

[Fuhnky]

This might be a little biased since I’m a Yoru main, but I feel like he could be at least a low A-tier. With his big kit comes a high skill ceiling with using teleports and such. I’ve found some good angles to throw teleports that could even get me in to the opponents spawn. Again, I might be a bit biased though

[MysticMocha]

Out of love for the new map in my opinion, Pearl is what Fracture tried to be, and failed to be.

A few things to note on pearl:

Viper is good for defending B site
Kay/O knife suppress on A site, literally at where the barrier for attackers is (you can basically suppress their utility before they even start moving) similar to the suppress on Haven from B site
Astra is overall good for the map
Cypher has no good tripwire for B site
Raze can play high risk satchel boost on B site, especially with ultimate
B site is heaven for sniper users
Plant sites filled with corners, allowing you to block the spike with sage wall for several areas
Neon is good for pearl when pairing her with shotguns, the map is suitable for close quarters if you exclude B site, she's the fastest agent for flank and Pearl has a bunch of ways for flank starting from Mid alone
Yoru is actually good for Pearl since there are a lot of areas he can sneakily put his tp on, but he's more on the offensive for B site since there are a bunch of paths the defenders have to watch on when someone can tp

[fusionride]

I still think omen should be on A tier, he's so good at creating space for your team and also his paranoia is always slept on. I believe that omen in the right hands is capable of being an A tier agent

[royalwar]

Kj main so my opinion is biased but I already have ways to completely shut off rotates, take sites, ults, and defense setups. Honestly she feels a lot stronger on the map than you give credit for

[KitsuneShark]

There is no way u put Reyna above Neon (that has a lot of potential in the right hands) because she can camp like a rat on Pearl💀

[theendertyranitar]

Neon is really good on pearl. The long rotation times are cut in half with her sprint, and can be really explosive. I would put her in B, but that might have a little bias as a neon main.

[Dakhanavar]

I think Brim is a good agent since he his the agent with the largest smokes and most time to dissipate. And has many places to shoot lineups safe and rotate to catch them from behind the enemies! Also knowing to play with cypher traps amd his camera, will help to cover many spots on the map

[CoLouRzzHD]

Feels like you're making a tier list without even playing the map in actual games. This map benefits from agents such as Cypher, KJ, Omen, Neon and especially Viper being the most useful agent. Losing mid control is a gg for defenders since the rotate time is much longer and you can't rotate through mid as there's too many angles to clear... so holding lanes and covering a lot of mid ground is needed through utility by controllers whilst having the sentinels anchor sites. Plus Neon's rotate ability is very much needed and she also rocks on attack for aggresive pushes espcially on A.
For attackers, KJ/Viper is a great combo for post-plant to hold flank/lineup to win rounds.
