N one can duel as skillfully as Raze on Lotus, especially when it comes to dealing some serious damage, stopping opponents from advancing, and obtaining lots of frags.

Despite the recent changes made to the map, there are still a lot of gaps to fill in during executions and retakes. Paint Shells and Raze's dependable Boom Bot are ideal for this purpose. If players are skilled enough to pull off Blast Pack jumps, Lotus will turn into the Brazilian Duelist's tiny playground.

2) Skye

Flashers are important on all maps, but they're particularly potent on Lotus. Skye is one of the finest options on this map because her birds are difficult to avoid around the map's tight corners.

An adversary will not be able to react quickly enough as Skye's bird flies right into their face. Her tiger ensures that no mercenaries are nearby, enabling her crew to plant the spike quickly. When playing on the defense, Skye can help her Duelist defeat helpless and blind opponents.

3) Cypher

Cypher thrives on this map because of his unparalleled intelligence-gathering skills. While the range of other Sentinels limits their usefulness, this Agent's Spycam and Cyber Cages can be placed anywhere. This gives him the ability to defend one side while closing other areas like B-side or C-side with his utility. He can also use it to uncover enemy positions and team rotations.

Lotus' layout, with its tight corners, also makes it possible for Trapwires to have devious one-way cages and be tough to break. Thus, unexpected angles are always a concern.

In such circumstances, Cypher shines, warning you about any enemy presence and maybe buying you and your allies crucial time to respond and secure a kill.

4) Omen

In Valorant, Omen thrives on Lotus's distinctive layout. His smokes are particularly powerful because of this map's tight corners and tiny hallways. His smokes can block off important chokepoints and sightlines, giving your team the advantage in managing the flow of the fight.

The rest of Omen's skills are ideal for this map's strategic gameplay. When used strategically, Paranoia can drive opponents out of advantageous positions or reveal them when they are hiding around corners.

Moreover, Omen can swiftly reposition himself to assist teammates in need or execute unexpected flanks with his teleport ability, Shrouded Step.

Lotus is a map that can greatly benefit from Gekko's utility kit. A flash that doesn't blind teammates can facilitate quick site executions, which are common on Lotus' B and C sites. They're also an effective deterrent against coordinated attacks from the defending team. Gekko's Wingman is a game-changing ability, regardless of the map. Given that Lotus is a 3-sited map with long rotations, securing an early plant can greatly benefit the team.
