Valorant is a shooter which is breaking it recently. This shows that it is always possible for a shooter cool to get some attention. All it takes are new ideas that make the feeling different, and good luck. Valorant unites all of this, in addition to embracing a factor that is very important today: the social experience. This game faces two teams of 5 players in battles frantic that make us of the hairs. Plus, it's available on phone (as well as PC, where it started). Today we will see how to gain an advantage on the Ascent map of Valorant.
The video games with multiplayer mode are more in demand than ever, and it is that, with the advancement of mobile telephony and telecommunications in the world, it is no longer the same. Note that games with a solo story mode also have a good time. But that a game can be played with your friends adds a lot of value, and with internet access more normalized than ever, games have become things to do with other people.
Today, we will try to give you a boost in Valorant, with nothing but knowledge. We will examine the Ascent map, the first one that came out with the definitive version of the first Valorant.
The strategy in Valorant
Valorant is not the classic game of shooter in which you depend purely on the skill with your hands. Here there is a strategic factor, which can be taken advantage of due to the number of players playing together: 5.
Ambushes, retreats, decoys, and many other avenues exist that will allow you to tear apart your opponents without having to be particularly good. Or even, on some occasions, being quite one-armed.
Knowing a map in Valorant, as well as its points of interest, size and key locations can give you a significant advantage in the game. In addition to that, let's not underestimate other factors either. It is also very important how much practice you have in similar games, and knowing first-hand the usual mechanics of the game. What I want to say is that a good plan can help a lot, but if you haven't played the game much, it won't help you much.
General knowledge
There is more information that you should know if you want to have a good result, the basics are the rules. If you are not clear, I will tell you.
- The objective is blow the opponent up: As you hear it, the attacker has to put a bomb on the defender. If they manage to do it: they win; unless the defenders disable it in a matter of a few seconds.
- Un 24 rounds maximum: each one maximum duration of 1 minute and 40 seconds, unless the Spike explodes first (or the attackers are removed). you can play as many attacker and defender games.
- One life per round: Every time you get eliminated, you will have to wait until the next round to respawn.
And well, knowing these key points of the game, the rest will be a piece of cake. Let's see how to master Ascent.
The doors in Ascent
Ascent has an interesting difference with most maps, and this difference can be very useful: it is full of doors. What can we get out of this? Well, quite simple that the doors have to be opened and closed with the action of a player can mean an advantage. Everything remains in knowing how to take advantage of this mechanic to put the rival in a disadvantageous situation.
The most obvious way to use gates is in an ambush, hide from the rival team behind a door. Any action with the door that is not from an ally of yours will reveal the position of at least one of your rivals. On some occasions, several of these will be left on a silver platter. Needless to say, ideally your opponents would not know your location or that of your teammates.
spike a
Protecting the entrance to Spike A is one of the actions that draws the most strategies in Valorant. There are many opportunities, some more powerful and useful than others. Remember that your goal is not only look for the best area to defend, but look for an area where your enemies will not think you are.
Rafters might look like a great option, but wouldn't that be the first place you'd look for an enemy? Well, maybe you should rethink it. Positioning yourself from above will always (or almost always) put you at an advantage, but much more beneficial is a clueless enemy who doesn't know where to look for you. That's why It might be smart to come in from corners, where you won't be able to have anyone coming up from behind..
As for the attacks on Spike A, there is not much to plan, you can do it starting from A Lobby or from Courtyard. Now, up front, you will depend on your intelligence and insight to hunt down the ambushes and traps that have been set for you. Is a matter of practice and of continuing to develop your defense to later extrapolate that knowledge to your attack.
In the attacks is when It's more like adapting to what the rival proposes, and screwing up the defense. That's why in your defenses, learn from your rival's attacks, and imitate effective strategies.
Spike B.
In the defenses of Spike B we usually find ourselves in real disasters, and this base is nothing like the previous one. Well, here the defense is a matter of move slowly and cautiously, but firmly. Make no mistake, if you go wild you'll find a whole squad ready to mow you down. On the other hand, if you stay very deep in your base, you will give the opposing team some very valuable positions.
The key, as always, is in balance. Locating yourself at strategic points such as the Main Site can be essential. Try to land a knockout blow and retreat a bit. Some skills like Paint Bullets (from Raze) can be very successful here, thanks to the fact that they do area damage.
And this has been all, let me know in the comments what other strategy you carry out in Valorant.
