VALORANT / PRACTICAL LESSON

How to attack a site

Strategy

Use information, smoke coverage and trading to turn a contested entry into a planted Spike.

STEP BY STEP

Try this in your next match

01

Gather some information about the site before spending all your utility.

02

Block defender sightlines with a controller and use a flash or recon effect near first contact.

03

Enter as a group close enough to trade eliminations but not so tightly that one ability defeats everyone.

04

After the plant, reposition for a retake and keep at least one safe line to the Spike.

Common mistake

Committing through the same choke while everyone holds an unused ability wastes the team’s timing.
