Valorant is a playground for many types of players. While some depend on their raw mechanical skills, others prefer to avoid taking head-on fights and play mindfully.
Numerous Agents with the ability to deploy their utilities from a distance gave birth to the concept of lineups in Valorant. The first name that comes to mind is Sova, an Initiator and one of the oldest Agents released along with the game.
Sova's kit includes Owl Drone, Shock Bolt, Recon Bolt, and Hunter's Fury (Ultimate ability). It enables users to safely check and clear areas of the map from a safe distance.
It is important to note that the following lineups were performed in low graphics settings.
This article discusses a few double Shock Bolt lineups that can fatally affect the enemy team from a distance on Valorant's Pearl.

Valorant Sova's most deadly double Shock Bolt lineups on Pearl
1) A-Main to A-Site default plant
Gamers need to find the above corner in A-main and tuck themselves into it.
They need to align the top-right corner of the charge bar (marked with a circle). Players must charge one bar (marked with a rectangle) and release the left click to deploy the first Shock Bolt.
Users have to align their crosshairs (marked with a circle) as shown. Then with a single bounce (one right click) and one bar charge (marked with a rectangle), they need to deploy the Shock Bolt.
Launching both the Shock Bolts consecutively makes them land directly on the A-Site Default Plant simultaneously, making it a handy post-plant lineup that can secure the round.
2) Mid Connector to A-Site default plant
For this lineup, gamers need to position themselves in front of the shown corner in Mid Connector near A-Art. They have to tuck themself inside the corner.
Users should align the Owl Drone (shown with a circle) icon near the edge of the wall in the Mid Connector. The Shock Bolt must be deployed with a single bar charge (shown with a rectangle).
Gamers need to align the bottom left corner of the charge bar on the third ledge of the roof (shown with a circle) and deploy the Shock Bolt with a half-bar charge.
Consecutively deploying both the Shock Bolts will result in both of them landing directly on the A-Site Default Plant, taking out any enemies in that area.
3) Outside B-Tunnel to B-Site default plant
For this lineup, players need to position themselves directly in front of the shown wall boundary on the wall.
Users have to align the left corner of the line below the HP count in the marked spot where the roof lining meets the tree (shown with a circle) and deploy the first Shock Bolt with one bar charge (shown with a rectangle).
Gamers should align the left diamond below the charge bar on the roof ledge (shown with a circle) and deploy the second Shock Bolt with a simple left click.
Consecutively deploying both the Shock Bolts will result in them landing directly on the B-Site Default Plant area. This can be used to deter the attackers from planting the spike or playing post-plant as an Attacker from Defender Spawn Side.
4) B-Ramp to B-Site Double Radianite boxes plant
Players need to position themselves in B-Ramp for this lineup.
After moving to B-Ramp, users should tuck inside the corner and align the edges of the B-Pillar and the wall in front, as shown above.
Gamers must align the HP counter right above the ledge on the left corner of the wall (shown with a circle) and release the Shock Bolt with a two-bar charge (shown with a rectangle).
For the second Shock Bolt, readers should aim their crosshair at the edge of the floor where the short wall ends (shown with a circle) and release it with a double bounce (two right clicks) and full charge.
Individuals will need to delay the second Shock Bolt by one second after deploying the first to ensure both the Shock Bolts land near the B-Site Double Radianite boxes simultaneously.
