Raze, a duelist in Valorant, has been in the game since the closed beta. Originating from Salvador, Brazil, she has an affinity towards explosives and paint. Her kit in Valorant, comprising of a boombot, satchels, and grenade is extremely aggressive, and she is considered one of the best duelists in Valorant. Raze's ultimate is by far the most fun part of playing her. She gets a rocket, called Showstopper, which can potentially one-shot enemies in Valorant.
Showstopper, when used along with her satchels, can make for a deadly combo that helps you clear locations and gain map control for your team. This article will take a look at the best Showstopper positions on each map in Valorant.

A Site (Defense)
At the start of the round, you can use your Showstopper towards the elbow of A main.

How and when to use your Raze ultimate?
Always remember that when you are trying to quickly close in on enemies using your satchels and ultimate, you are an open target, and everyone will be focused on you. You should always coordinate with your team for flashes, stuns, recons, or smokes when you are trying to use your Showstopper in a Valorant match.
You should also let your team know which position you are going to clear with your Showstopper for the best results. The better your team's coordination and teamwork, the better the outcome in Valorant.
