Tracking your KDA (Kill/Death/Assist ratio) in Valorant is a crucial part of understanding your impact and performance in every match.
Whether you’re looking to improve or simply keep tabs on your effectiveness, knowing how to view and interpret your KDA live is essential. Here’s how you can check your KDA during and after a Valorant game.
Viewing Your KDA During an Ongoing Match
Valorant makes it straightforward to track your KDA mid-game with the in-game scoreboard.
Here’s how:
1. Open the Scoreboard
Press the “Tab” key (default) during a match to pull up the scoreboard overlay.
The scoreboard displays every player’s kills, deaths, and assists, typically in columns labeled K, D, and A.
Your stats and those of your teammates (and enemies, if they’re not hidden) are available at a glance.
2. Reading the KDA Figures
- Kills (K): The total number of enemy players you’ve eliminated in the current match.
- Deaths (D): The number of times you have been eliminated.
- Assists (A): Any instance where your actions directly contributed to a teammate’s kill.The numbers update live throughout the match, giving you real-time feedback on your performance.
3. Customizing Scoreboard Key Bindings
If you want to change the key that opens the scoreboard, head to the Settings menu (ESC > Settings > Controls > Interface) and set your preferred key for “Show Scoreboard”.
After the Match: Reviewing Your KDA
Once the game ends, Valorant provides a detailed match summary, including your overall KDA, average combat score, and round-by-round breakdown.
Navigate to the Career tab from the main menu to see all recent match stats, including KDA for previous games.
