Valorant Kay/O’s most effective nade lineups in Ascent
1) A-Wine to A-Site Default Plant
Position yourself in A-Wine and tuck inside the shown corner.
Position the ultimate ability icon on the Heads-Up Display (HUD) (shown in the circle) just above the light bulb and perform a simple left-click throw.
The nade goes over the A-Main wall and lands in the A-Site Default Plant position. This lineup is a great way to deny defenders from defusing the spike to secure rounds while staying close to the bomb site.
2) A-Lobby to A-Site Default Plant
Position yourself in A-Lobby and tuck between the Radianite Crates and the wall.
Place the mouse indicator icons on the wall ledge (shown in the circle) and perform a simple left-click throw.
The nade similarly goes over the A-Main wall and lands directly on the A-Site Default Plant position. This lineup is primarily utilized on the attacker side in post-plant scenarios but can also be used by flanking defenders to delay the spike plant.
3) A-Heaven to A-Site Default Plant
Position yourself in A-Heaven and tuck inside the shown corner.
Position the Zero/Point ability icon on the HUD (shown in a circle) exactly below the roof bar and perform a simple left-click throw.
The nade bounces off the generator and falls directly onto the A-Site Default Plant position. This lineup is primarily used by the defender side to delay the spike plant.
4) B-Lobby to B-Site Default Plant
Position yourself in B-Lobby and tuck between the stall and the guard wall.
Place the crosshair (shown in a circle) on the distant tip in the sky and perform a simple left-click throw.
The nade will fly over the side of the B-Main and cross the wall to land directly on the B-Site Default Plant position. This is one of the most effective post-plant lineups for the attacker side as players can hold a safe position outside and delay the spike defuse.
5) Defender Side Spawn B to B-Site Default Plant
Position yourself in Defender Side Spawn towards B and stand directly in front of the shown wall edge and hug the wall.
Position the mouse indicator icon (shown in the circle) and perform a simple left-click throw.
The nade will go over the B-Site and land directly on the B-Site Default Plant position.
