VALORANT has a lot more going on between its Agents than the occasional voice line during a match. Some are close friends, others have complicated histories, and a few genuinely cannot stand each other. There are even romantic relationships hidden within the game’s expanding lore.

All VALORANT Duelist Agent Relationships
Jett’s Relationships
Jett is energetic, competitive, and generally gets along with the younger Agents.
- Phoenix: One of her closest friends. They constantly encourage and tease each other, leading fans to speculate about a possible romance.
- Raze: The two have a friendly, almost sister-like bond built around their energetic personalities.
- Neon: A friendly rivalry exists between them because of their speed-based abilities.
- Fade: Jett initially opposed Fade joining the Protocol after she exposed the Agents’ personal secrets.
Jett and Phoenix remain one of VALORANT’s most popular fan pairings, although Riot has never officially confirmed them as a couple.
Phoenix’s Relationships
Phoenix is confident, talkative, and loves a good competition.
- Jett: They share a close friendship filled with playful teasing and mutual encouragement.
- Yoru: Another friendly rivalry. Both regularly challenge each other to prove who’s better.
- KAY/O: They have an almost brotherly friendship, with Phoenix calling their partnership Team Forge.
- Cypher: The two occasionally play chess together, with Cypher teaching Phoenix about strategy and sacrifice.
- Harbor: They enjoy a friendly relationship despite their contrasting fire and water abilities.
Phoenix also participates in Clove’s tabletop role-playing game sessions.
Reyna’s Relationships
Reyna has some of the most complicated relationships in VALORANT, largely because of her views on Radiants and technology.
- Gekko: She shares a close, motherly bond with him and acts as a trusted mentor.
- Viper: Reyna respects her because Viper helps keep her younger sister, Lucia, alive.
- Killjoy: Reyna strongly dislikes her, apparently because one of Killjoy’s inventions harmed someone close to Reyna.
- KAY/O: KAY/O hates Reyna because of her actions during the Radiant War in his alternate future.
- Neon: Reyna mentors her and encourages her to embrace her full Radiant powers.
- Sage: They disagree about how Radiants should be trained and how their abilities should be used.
Reyna is also friendly toward Jett and Breach. She can be surprisingly caring toward people she considers family.
Raze’s Relationships
Raze is one of the friendliest Agents in the Protocol, although her explosive personality occasionally causes problems.
Her most important relationship is with Killjoy, her confirmed girlfriend.
The two initially developed a playful rivalry before becoming romantically involved. Riot officially confirmed their relationship in December 2022.
Other important connections include:
- Breach: An old partner in crime. They previously carried out destructive operations against Kingdom.
- Jett: A close friend who shares her enthusiasm and aggressive fighting style.
- Brimstone: Their contrasting personalities regularly cause arguments, although they still work together.
Raze and Killjoy’s relationship is commonly called Nanobomb by the VALORANT community.
Yoru’s Relationships
Yoru prefers working alone, but he has developed several interesting relationships.
- Skye: Yoru has flirtatious voice lines directed at her, and his normally confident personality becomes noticeably awkward around her.
- Phoenix: His closest competitive friendship. They constantly trade insults and challenges.
- Reyna: Yoru genuinely admires her combat skills and ruthless fighting style.
- Omen: They share an understanding of dimensional abilities, with Omen expressing considerable respect for Yoru.
- Clove: Yoru participates in Clove’s tabletop gaming sessions.
Among the possible romantic pairings, Yoru’s behavior around Skye is particularly noticeable. However, Riot hasn’t confirmed that his feelings are reciprocated.
Neon’s Relationships
Neon has two important mentors with very different teaching methods.
Sage encourages Neon to control her abilities safely, while Reyna believes she should stop holding back her true potential.
Her other relationships include:
- Jett: A friendly competition over speed.
- Killjoy: They worked together on the interdimensional portal and developed a positive working relationship.
- Chamber: Neon distrusts him because of their history at Kingdom’s K-SEC division.
Chamber previously suggested removing Neon’s surge protector to increase her power. He later apologized, but Neon remained unhappy with him.
Iso’s Relationships
Iso is generally reserved, but his past as an assassin creates some important connections.
- Omen: Both previously worked as assassins for the Scions of Hourglass. Iso admires Omen’s reputation and abilities.
- Sage: Iso respects her experience, authority, and position within the Protocol.
- Deadlock: Their shared combat backgrounds provide a possible basis for mutual understanding, although their friendship hasn’t been explored extensively.
- Hush: Riot recently teased a possible romantic connection between the two.
During the Hush developer AMA, Riot’s narrative writer jokingly suggested that Hush’s thoughts about Iso were supposedly “strictly professional.”
The comment certainly leaves room for interpretation, but an actual romance has not been confirmed.
Waylay’s Relationships
Waylay already had important connections before joining VALORANT.
Her strongest relationships are with Tejo and Veto, both of whom knew her before they became Protocol Agents.
Tejo previously mentored Waylay and later brought her into a Protocol mission in Bangkok. The two maintain a friendly relationship.
Veto also worked alongside Waylay and Tejo, making the three longtime associates rather than strangers brought together by VALORANT.
Hush’s Relationships
Hush is VALORANT’s newest Duelist, and Riot’s November 2026 developer AMA revealed several new details about her relationships.
Hush and Sage
Sage is Hush’s closest friend within the Protocol.
According to Riot, their friendship began because of their similar backgrounds, but gradually developed into something much closer.
Hush admires Sage’s grace and composure, while Sage appreciates Hush’s eccentric personality and attention to detail.
The two even enjoy spending time together outside work, including eating Cantonese chicken hotpot.
Hush and Iso
Riot has hinted that Hush may have feelings for Iso.
When asked about their relationship, Narrative Writer Ryan jokingly described Hush’s thoughts as strictly professional.
For now, their potential romance remains unconfirmed.
Hush and Fade
Hush respects Fade’s confidence and willingness to be herself.
Being naturally observant, Hush quickly noticed Fade’s self-assured personality after joining the Protocol.
Hush also has an interesting working relationship with Brimstone, who appears somewhat bewildered by her unusual investigative methods.
All VALORANT Initiator Agent Relationships
Breach’s Relationships
Breach’s relationships generally revolve around his aggressive personality and criminal background.
- Raze: His longtime partner in crime and one of his closest friends.
- Brimstone: They have a rocky relationship because Breach distrusts Brimstone’s connection to Kingdom. However, their relationship has gradually improved.
- Reyna: The two get along well and sometimes exchange flirtatious comments.
- Viper: Breach respects her determination, while Viper appreciates his destructive capabilities.
- Cypher: Breach dislikes being watched and occasionally calls Cypher a rat.
Despite his arguments with Brimstone, Breach showed gratitude when the commander helped his nephew get out of prison.
Sova’s Relationships
Sova is loyal, disciplined, and values honesty.
- Brimstone: One of his most trusted friends and commanders.
- Omen: Sova treats him with compassion and reminds him that he still has people who care about him.
- Cypher: Sova dislikes Cypher’s habit of keeping secrets, making their relationship particularly tense.
- Viper: He disapproves of her methods but sympathizes with her troubled past.
- KAY/O: They share mutual respect, partly because KAY/O remembers fighting alongside an alternate version of Sova.
Sova’s disagreement with Cypher is especially interesting because both are experts at gathering information, but their approaches to trust are completely different.
Skye’s Relationships
Skye is protective of her teammates and has a strong connection to nature.
- Sage: A close ally who recruited Skye into the Protocol. They share responsibility for healing their teammates.
- Deadlock: They have a strong friendship and even go hiking together.
- Yoru: He frequently flirts with her, although her romantic feelings remain unclear.
- Harbor: They maintain a friendly relationship, and Skye once helped recover his motorcycle.
- Killjoy and Viper: Skye dislikes how their technology and chemicals can harm the environment.
Skye also respects Omen, who believes she possesses much greater potential than she currently realizes.
KAY/O’s Relationships
KAY/O’s relationships are heavily influenced by the Radiant War he experienced in another timeline.
His most important connections include:
- Brimstone: A deeply personal bond. KAY/O remembers fighting alongside Brimstone and losing him during the war.
- Reyna: His greatest enemy because an alternate version of Reyna led the Radiant forces he fought against.
- Phoenix: A close friend with whom he shares a brotherly rivalry.
- Sova: A trusted ally from his memories of the war.
- Killjoy: He trusts her technical expertise and relies on her for maintenance.
KAY/O’s hatred toward Reyna is particularly tragic because the current Reyna is not necessarily destined to follow the same path as her alternate-timeline counterpart.
Fade’s Relationships
Fade initially struggled to earn the Protocol’s trust because she had previously blackmailed its members.
However, she has gradually built friendships with several Agents.
- Cypher: They share mutual respect for their intelligence-gathering abilities. Cypher supported her recruitment.
- Omen: They spend time together reading while Omen knits.
- Viper: Fade admires her intimidating personality and ruthless approach.
- Hush: Hush respects Fade’s confidence and individuality.
- Clove: Fade participates in Clove’s tabletop gaming sessions.
Jett was initially among the Agents who strongly opposed Fade joining the organization.
Gekko’s Relationships
Gekko has one of the friendliest personalities in VALORANT.
- Reyna: A close, family-like relationship in which Reyna acts as a mentor and protective figure.
- Harbor: Harbor helps train Gekko in swimming.
- Brimstone: Gekko respects him and enjoys playing video games with him.
- Clove: Gekko participates in their tabletop gaming group.
- Deadlock: Their relationship is strained because Deadlock distrusts Gekko’s creatures.
Gekko sees his creatures as friends and companions, which makes Deadlock’s suspicion particularly frustrating for him.
Tejo’s Relationships
Tejo has a history with several Agents.
- Brimstone: They knew each other before joining VALORANT, but their relationship has been tense. Tejo still shows signs of caring about him.
- Waylay: Tejo previously acted as her mentor and helped introduce her to the Protocol.
- Veto: They are longtime associates who have worked together on missions.
- Reyna: Tejo supports her sanctuary for Radiant children.
Tejo’s connections suggest he had an extensive network of allies long before becoming an Agent himself.
All VALORANT Controller Agent Relationships
Brimstone’s Relationships
As the Protocol’s commander, Brimstone has meaningful relationships with almost every Agent.
His closest connections include:
- Viper: A longtime friend and fellow founder of the Protocol.
- Killjoy: Brimstone acts as a mentor and father figure.
- Sage: He trusts her leadership and considers her capable of taking command in his absence.
- Sova: A loyal friend and trusted soldier.
- KAY/O: Their bond is particularly strong because of KAY/O’s memories from another timeline.
However, Brimstone also has complicated relationships with Breach, Chamber, and Tejo.
Viper’s Relationships
Viper has some of VALORANT’s most mysterious connections.
Omen: They share a complicated past. Viper knew him before his transformation and has information about his previous identity.
Sage: Viper holds resentment toward Sage because of something that happened before the Protocol was formed. The full circumstances remain unclear.
Reyna: Viper helps keep Reyna’s younger sister Lucia alive, earning Reyna’s trust.
Chamber: Chamber frequently flirts with Viper, but she rejects his advances and remains suspicious of his intentions.
Viper also maintains a close working relationship with Brimstone and occasionally mentors Killjoy.
Omen’s Relationships
Despite his frightening appearance, Omen has developed several meaningful friendships.
- Viper: An old friend who knows important details about his past.
- Sage: They have a respectful relationship, with Sage showing compassion toward his suffering.
- Fade: They share quiet moments reading and knitting.
- Sova: Sova reminds Omen of his humanity.
- Iso: Their shared history as Hourglass assassins creates a complicated but respectful bond.
- Clove: Omen discovered Clove in Edinburgh and brought them into the Protocol.
- Vyse: Vyse expresses unusual interest and concern toward Omen.
Omen’s past remains a major source of mystery in VALORANT’s story.
Astra’s Relationships
Astra has a cheerful personality and generally maintains positive relationships with her teammates.
- Harbor: Astra strongly supported his recruitment because of his ancient artifact and its connection to the Astral Guardians.
- Phoenix: They enjoy spending time together and eating jollof rice.
- Raze: The two share a friendly connection because of their energetic personalities.
- Brimstone: Astra respects him but frequently jokes about his age.
Astra is also somewhat skeptical of Omen’s supernatural nature.
Harbor’s Relationships
Harbor gets along with several Agents, particularly those who share his adventurous personality.
- Astra: They cooperate over ancient artifacts and their connection to the Astral Guardians.
- Phoenix: A close friendship built around their contrasting personalities and powers.
- Gekko: Harbor acts as his swimming coach.
- Skye: A trusted friend who helped recover his motorcycle.
- Fade: Harbor respects her and considers her a friend.
Harbor also disapproves of Yoru painting over his mask, which Harbor considers a valuable historical artifact.
Clove’s Relationships
Clove has developed a surprisingly large social circle within the Protocol.
- Omen: He discovered Clove and helped bring them into VALORANT.
- Phoenix, Yoru, Fade, and Gekko: They participate in Clove’s tabletop role-playing sessions.
- Reyna: Clove has offered to use their own life energy to help Reyna’s younger sister, Lucia.
- Miks: Clove attended one of his raves and later helped recommend him to the Protocol.
Clove’s willingness to help Lucia is particularly touching, considering that their own powers involve returning from death.
Miks’s Relationships
Miks joined VALORANT with connections to several Agents.
- Clove: They met through Miks’s music scene, and Clove helped recommend his recruitment.
- Killjoy: Killjoy also attended one of his rave events and supported his recruitment.
- Sage: Miks was brought in partly to help with Sage’s crystallization condition following the events of the Why We Fight Back cinematic.
His personality makes him a natural morale booster, although Riot has yet to explore many of his other friendships in detail.
All VALORANT Sentinel Agent Relationships
Sage’s Relationships
Sage is among the most respected members of the VALORANT Protocol.
- Brimstone: A close friend who trusts her to lead.
- Hush: Her closest friendship among the newer Agents, built around mutual admiration and shared backgrounds.
- Omen: They share compassion and mutual respect.
- Neon: Sage acts as one of her Radiant mentors.
- Skye: A trusted friend and fellow healer.
- Viper: Their relationship remains deeply strained because of an unresolved incident from their past.
- Miks: Sage appreciates his assistance with her crystallization condition.
Sage’s tendency to put others before herself is both one of her greatest strengths and a source of personal conflict.
Cypher’s Relationships
Cypher knows plenty about the other Agents, although his secretive behavior often creates tension.
- Fade: One of his closest professional allies. He admires her information-gathering abilities.
- Sova: Their relationship is strained because Sova values honesty while Cypher keeps secrets.
- Killjoy: They enjoy a friendly relationship and frequently cooperate on technology.
- Phoenix: They occasionally play chess together.
- Omen: Cypher has discovered information about Omen’s past but has demanded payment for revealing it.
Cypher also enjoys teasing Viper, although he knows better than to push her too far.
Killjoy’s Relationships
Killjoy’s most important connection is her romantic relationship with Raze.
However, she also has several interesting friendships and rivalries.
- Brimstone: Her mentor and father figure.
- Cypher: A friendly working relationship involving shared technical knowledge.
- Viper: Killjoy admires her intelligence but worries about her mental state.
- Neon: They worked closely together on the interdimensional portal.
- Reyna: Reyna hates Killjoy because of the suspected connection between her inventions and Lucia’s condition.
- Miks: Killjoy attended one of his parties and helped recommend him to the Protocol.
Killjoy appears largely unaware of the full reason behind Reyna’s hostility.
Chamber’s Relationships
Chamber’s charming personality doesn’t mean his teammates trust him.
- Viper: Chamber frequently flirts with her, but Viper remains suspicious and rejects his advances.
- Brimstone: The commander distrusts Chamber’s motives.
- Neon: Their previous encounters at Kingdom created a lasting conflict.
- Reyna: Chamber has supported her Radiant sanctuary, although Reyna does not want to owe him favors.
Chamber’s secretive actions and complicated past make him one of the Protocol’s least trusted members.
Deadlock’s Relationships
Deadlock’s past experience with dangerous creatures strongly influences her relationships.
- Gekko: She distrusts his creatures and worries that they could become dangerous.
- Skye: They enjoy a close friendship and regularly go hiking together.
- Killjoy: Killjoy designed Deadlock’s prosthetic arm after she lost her original arm.
- Sova: He helped rescue Deadlock following the incident that cost her arm.

Deadlock’s conflict with Gekko remains one of the more interesting disagreements within the Protocol.
Vyse’s Relationships
Vyse has connections to several Agents, although much of her background remains mysterious.
- Viper: They appear to have worked in similar scientific fields and have a competitive history.
- Omen: Vyse shows unusual concern and interest toward him, although the nature of their relationship is unclear.
- Jett: Their first encounter was hostile, leading to considerable tension.
Vyse’s scientific background and history with Kingdom could eventually reveal more connections to other Agents.
Veto’s Relationships
Veto already knew several members of the Protocol before officially joining.
- Tejo: A longtime friend and former teammate.
- Waylay: They previously worked together and maintain a friendly relationship.
- Gekko: Veto has shown an interesting connection to Gekko’s radivores, although the extent of his ability to communicate with them remains uncertain.
Veto’s preexisting friendship with Tejo and Waylay makes their group one of the more established partnerships among the newer Agents.
Which VALORANT Agents Are Officially Dating?
As of November 2026, Killjoy and Raze are the only romantic couple publicly confirmed by Riot Games.
Their relationship developed from a playful rivalry into a romance, and Riot officially acknowledged the pairing in December 2022.
Several other relationships continue to attract fan speculation:
- Jett and Phoenix: Close friendship with occasional flirtatious interactions.
- Yoru and Skye: Yoru appears to have a crush on Skye.
- Hush and Iso: Riot recently teased possible romantic feelings.
- Chamber and Viper: Chamber flirts with Viper, but she repeatedly rejects him.
These pairings should not be treated as officially confirmed romances.
Will Riot Reveal More VALORANT Agent Relationships?
Riot Games continues to expand VALORANT’s lore through cinematics, voice lines, emails, official character descriptions, and developer discussions.
The recent Hush AMA is a good example. It revealed more about her friendship with Sage, her admiration for Fade, and the possible romantic tension involving Iso.
With new Agents regularly joining the Protocol, existing friendships and rivalries will likely continue developing.
As of writing, Killjoy and Raze remain VALORANT’s only officially confirmed couple, while several other relationships still have plenty of room for Riot to explore.
