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.

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
