Summary
- Haven's three sites make it tough to defend, forcing players to contest angles or play for retakes.
- Choosing the best agents on Haven can be challenging, but Clove, Raze, Skye, and Astra excel on this map.
- KAY/O, Neon, Cypher, Sova, Breach, Omen, Killjoy, and Jett are also strong agent picks here.
Haven was the first Valorant map to feature three sites, and it is enjoyable to play regardless of the game mode. The availability of three avenues to attack makes defending a tough job, and you will either have to contest angles and win fights or play for retakes. Attacking isn’t easy either, given there can be quick flanks and rotations.

Controller
Pick-me-up Meddle
Ruse
Not Dead Yet
Clove is a versatile and perfect agent for pugs in matchmaking. If you use this Controller, your teammates cannot blame you for lack of smokes on a huge map like your Heaven when you die early in the round. You can draw upon them even after going down. Moreover, the kit also allows aggressive play with Pick-Me-Up, providing temporary health.
Finally, Meddle is your defensive tool when enemies are rushing, as it temporarily decays all targets, making them vulnerable to your fire. As an icing on top of these abilities, you can self-resurrect by activating the Ultimate provided that you get a frag or assist in the set time to stay alive.

Duelist
Boom Bot Blast Pack
Paint Shells
Showstopper
Raze is a fine selection for playing as a Duelist on Haven. Although Jett is hands down the best option, you may pick Raze if your team is looking for a two Duelist setup.
The Paint Shells can deal a lot of damage and can be utilized on angles you generally find opponents camping, such as A Sewers/Short.
Besides that, the Boombot will aid you immensely, and you can use them to lead your team’s attack. However, you must be comfortable with the airborne movements and the Showstopper ultimate to make playing the agent a good option.

Most Initiators function well on this specific map, with Skye among the better ones. Her flashes will work nicely on the narrow openings on all three sites, and you can easily use them around A main to clear out a player holding the angle with an Operator. You may additionally employ her Trailblazer to scout ahead whenever your team is moving forward on the attack.
Skye will further contribute to the team because she can heal her teammates. Finally, her Guiding Light ultimate will give you information as to where the enemies are.

Initiator
FRAG/ment FLASH/drive

KAY/O’s kit makes it a viable option as a second Initiator complementing Breach or Sova on a huge map like Haven. Firstly, you can employ Zero/Point line-ups from far out of site to suppress enemies and receive accurate information. Thus, enabling the team to effectively execute.
Likewise, FRAG/ment lineups are another trick up your sleeves. It is optimal either to obstruct points like A tower, or even deny defuses with optimal post-plant lineups. With two well-timed pop-flashes, you will have plenty of time to set your team up for favorable fights. NULL/cmd is a true force to be reckoned with, as once activated, it will suppress all enemies for a short duration. More importantly, it will provide combat stim and also enable re-stabilization if taken out.

Another outstanding Duelist on this list is Neon, and her capacity to sprint fast will be highly beneficial to rotate, considering there are three different sites. Her Fast Lane can emerge to be useful as well, and they can aid in providing a clear entry.
Furthermore, you can carefully use her Relay Bolt to stun opponents, and they will be perfect as you try to enter through locations like Garage or C Long. Lastly, the ultimate ability of the agent can be vital during Eco rounds, and you can undoubtedly get a few frags using it.

Sentinel
Trapwire Cyber Cage
Spycam
Neural Theft
If you want an agent to nearly hold down a site by itself, Cypher is a safe pick you can opt for. You can place his tripwires towards the entry of the sites, and they will notify you whenever an enemy attempts to push past them.
Simultaneously, the agent’s camera will be ideal for information about the opponents, and you may place it in positions like around A Heaven, where it is not suspected. In the meantime, the cages can be placed around the trips, and you can activate them as soon as you find an opponent rushing. The ultimate ability can eventually be utilized on the dead opponents to discover the location of the other foes.

Aftershock Flashpoint

Rolling Thunder
Most of those at the higher ranks or the professional level prefer going with two Initiators in Haven, and Breach should be the first choice if playing alongside Sova. His flashes can push out opponents holding an angle, and they can be critical when trying to make an entry as well.
On top of this, the Fault Line ability can be employed correctly, depending on your situation. In addition, the Aftershock can be saved for post-plant, or you can use it to clear stingy angles like the right side of A Short. The last part of his kit, the Rolling Thunder ultimate, can assist you in securing rounds with sites being relatively small on the map.

Omen is the ideal Controller on the map and is excellent for making aggressive plays. Thanks to his Shrouded Steps, you can cross angles without being spotted, and the ability can further help you reach unpredictable angles like the top of Boxes on A Site.
His smokes can further block off angles, and as they last for a considerable period, they stop quick pushes. Aside from this, his Paranoia flash can be used while entering sites to blind opponents and get kills. His ultimate also allows you to teleport anywhere on the map, with common spots being Hell on the A site.
