jett is the main duelist, we might see neon popping sometimes but operator angles are too good to not abuse jett
killjoy and cypher probably the main sentinels, kj was the main choice but cypher buffs put him in a good position and hes already pretty strong in the map. maybe chamber sometimes to abuse operator when neon is used
controller is tough because viper got nerfed so the harbor viper is not viable anymore. id say probably astra comes back to being the main controller on the map and harbor is also pretty strong still. prob Double controller with the two
initiator im not really sure, all of them seem pretty viable. but i think maybe breach or gekko are the main Initiators, with possibly kayo in double initiator comps
nobody___100 [#5]phoenix
gekko
harbor
astra
chamber
This definitely going to be PRX's Pearl comp except replace Harbor with Clove maybe

We might need to stop think into class.
Every team have at least, on Diver, one Smoker, one Reveal (Thoose 3 role are without a doubt for Astra, Jett, Sova, maybe Gekko and Neon have their chance... but meh), and then it's pretty open for either a Sentinel, a Flasher or a 2nd Controller.
Viper can't be the smoker
SuperRoss [#9]"how fast can we lose?" ahh comp
trust me bro, anchoring mid with chamber on defense is fucking broken
kanyefan4238173 [#2]i think theres a lot of ways to play it, and i think it will be a fun map, kinda
double duelist will be good, between neon, yoru, jett and phx
double controller will be good, between harbor, astra, viper and even clove
and im sure some teams will play double initiator too
its going to be very interesting for sure. lots of teams going to run interesting comps for pearl lol

Breach? interesting

you do have a point. but i think harbor has a spot. his value on conquering and blocking space with walls on pearl is great. but im not 100% sure on him or the initiators (to me all of them are viable in some form)
Shadow_Monarch [#14]Breach? interesting
breach in the neon meta is pretty good, but we still need to see how the meta floats. in any case, he fits really well in pearl on a lot of aspects, but i feel like most people haven't really figured him out yet (which is fair because hes a weird agent)
kj/chamber/cypher
-kj was meta before pearl was taken out of rotation and i expect that to still be the case next year
-chamber was buffed and i expect a lot of teams with good mech players will try ihim
-i expect cypher to be played much less here, but given most teams seem to be more comfortable with him he'll deffo get his chance
-deadlock MIGHT see some use, unlikely imho
harbor/viper
this is a map that heavily favours line smokers, one of harbor and viper should be in every team's comp
sova/fade/gekko/kayo
-sova is the best initiator around, you COULD go for fade tho ig
-gekko
-kayo offers both flashes and active info, on top of the ability to kill any exec with a good knife
yoru/jett/neon
-yoru is a great option as always and he allows your comp to be much more flexible than with any other duelist
-jett
-neon's going crazy rn
second line smoker/global smoker/local smoker/second ini/second duelist
-second line smoker on pearl wouldn't hurt, no?
-astra and omen are very good in general
-clove is a common comfort pick for some, brim could work maybe?
-second ini is pretty much a must if you're picking sova and not yoru, one of kayo, gekko or skye will suffice
-second duelist if you went for yoru and are feeling fancy, it can work, look at dsyre on haven
that said, i would pick the following comp:
kj, viper, sova, yoru, harbor

Iso Pheonix Chamber will surprise everyone. Maybe Vyse and Deadlock as well. Can't wait for 2025.

iso yes, phoenix sucks, chamber yes, vyse sucks, deadlock maybe
Shadow_Monarch [#10]This definitely going to be PRX's Pearl comp except replace Harbor with Clove maybe
naw because forsaken would probably be playing harbor
benmaimoon [#24]Harbor
Cypher
Gekko
Neon/Raze
Astra
Change cypher to KJ and stick to Neon. Harbor and viper can switch. Viper if you're the type to play main, lobby and art. Harbor if you prefer pushing spawn or art control. Still prefer viper since viper can hold b better than harbor.

reasonable opinion
Meta comp with sen as an example
neon - Zekken
gekko - N4rrate
viper/harbour - Zellsis
astra - bang
cypher - JohnQT
My only comment on this is I think Harbour might just be the better one to play just for the hightide and cascade allowing them to move around the map, whereas viper is gonna be stuck to a side
foythvlr [#17]you do have a point. but i think harbor has a spot. his value on conquering and blocking space with walls on pearl is great. but im not 100% sure on him or the initiators (to me all of them are viable in some form)
Harbor is always in a weird spot, to me he sounds a little bit bad, he got full smoike in his kit and not be able to solosmoke is a huge redflag.
I dont see Astra getting replaced, it was her historic map, and swamp comp did die,
cloudberry [#29]Gonna be blunt here: with the way the current meta is, no matter which agents are great/should be played on this map, the meta's gonna be Neon Sova Astra Cypher +1
I think so too with Cypher/KJ depending on the team. The 5th agent will be fun to watch during the meta though.
Shadow_Monarch [#31]I think so too with Cypher/KJ depending on the team. The 5th agent will be fun to watch during the meta though.
I really hope some teams shake it up a little. Maybe Phoenix in the extra slot, or Harbor in a double controller, or maybe a Fade + Gekko, or maybe even Vyse
