neon is here and she is top tier and with the new patch coming out it is about time that we updated our tier list we have a brand new episode a new agent and a supercharged aries come and go so we have a lot to talk about today to start out this list strong we have yoru in the d tier uh he feels pretty redundant to say at this point if i'm being entirely honest yoru desperately needs help especially with neon in the game now there's just no reason to really play him he doesn't do anything better than any of the other duelists in the game so he doesn't really feel to any sort of niche the truth is that until we get the yoru rework he is probably going to stay a low tier agent so fingers crossed that it comes soon with that we are on to our c tier and here we have a pretty regular face as well phoenix it really is sad to see phoenix so low on this list knowing how strong he used to be but by taking a look at this pick rate in pro play it's easy to see that he's fallen out of favor in the meta the thing with phoenix is that he's not a bad agent he still has a great kit loaded with flashes a molly and a very powerful ultimate he even sometimes still sees play on haven albeit a very limited amount of play but the biggest problem with phoenix is that we haven't been in a double duelist meta for a while now and with agents like sky in the game he's just outclassed she is a better flash a team heel and her dog which is just way better for gathering info and clearing sites for the team maybe one day we'll get back into the meta where phoenix is played again but for now he sits in our seats here now the next agent in our seats here is brimstone and although you may all be saying that it isn't really a surprise to see him here we almost put brimstone in the b-tier this time although brim hasn't gotten any buffs he still has seen a little bit of play here and there over the last month he was even played at champions in the grand finals by gambit on fracture the thing with brimstone is that there are a few maps where he is actually playable at a competitive level maps like bind and even fracture are great maps for him fracture is the newest map and what makes broomy so good on this map is that he can place down all three of his smokes at the same time this gives him a slight advantage over the other controllers since on a site he can smoke drop ropes and link all at the same time for a sight executes although he has been seeing more play in the pro scene i still think it's a bit early to move brim up to the b tier but i would keep an eye out because this could potentially change soon speaking of brimstone by the way if you guys wanted to learn how to play from arguably one of the best brimstones in the game i definitely recommend checking out the course that smack smack made for us over on the website
