From eternity, Viper has remained relevant on Bind. She provides unparalleled value on this map despite not being the main Controller pick. Bind favors double-Controller team comp, and Viper is the go-to choice to fill. Viper can curtain off one side of the site with her Toxic Screen to provide much better cover.

Valorant: 10 Tips For Playing As Agent Viper
There are a lot of great characters to choose from on Valorant. Here’s a look at some tips if you want to get the most from Agent Viper.
On attack, her Poison Cloud and Snake Bite combo is very strong in post-plant situations. Viper can also hold a site on her own as a pseudo-sentinel while other defenders rotate for support. Other than her, Tejo and Skye are also a decent pick for Bind. Tejo’s utilities work well with map design, while Skye can play a good passive-aggressive flex initiator.

Players have divisive opinions on Vyse as the Sentinel. However, on Bind, Vyse’s kit is great for countering attackers. Bind favors fast-paced action, and Vyse can easily disrupt the flow, making enemies change their approach. Her Shear wall is great for cutting off the duelists from the team if they enter the site ahead of the team.

Bind’s map design favors using Controllers with traditional smokes. Among them, Brimstone fits perfectly with the playstyles. Brim can use his Stim Beacon to give each team member a movement boost, which helps to follow the duelist and helps in executing sites fast. His Sky Smokes has a wider radius, and their dimensions fit perfectly at many angles on this map.

Every OG map in Valorant seems like Sova’s playground, and it is the same case on Bind, too. Bind is home to many camping Judge and Bucky players, so it is essential to clear these spots. His Recon dart and Owl Drone help scout the area and gather intel about the site. His Shock Bolts are also great for dealing chip damage and clearing those angles. Sova can also utilize the teleporters better than many initiators.

The explosive duelist, Raze, is a no-brainer in this map. This map feels like it was crafted specially for Raze. Her every ability fits so well with the map design that players just have to pick her. Raze can blast into the site very easily, as a slow push on the tight entry point can cause too much trouble.
Her Boombot and Paintshells are great tools to flush out numerous corners and cubbies on the map. Since players rarely indulge in long-range duels on Bind, players prefer using Judge, and Raze is the best agent to use this deadly weapon. Her abilities are also great at halting enemy entries on defense and working well as a pseudo-Sentinel.
