3 COMMON MISTAKES FOR ALL AGENTS - Valorant

[@ANoobInvoid]

ATTENTION: The first phoenix tip in this video is NOW useless because you will regain your shields after patch 5.01.

wait what

[@notcarvon920]

Yep

[@Univelz]

Yep

[@DragonRider6566]

yep you keep sheilds after you die in ult in 5.01

[@gamerkiba15]

yes,if he ults with 150 life, you will return with 150 life (detail:its the shild that he got BEFORE he ult,dont in the beginning of the game)

[@kazuto7803]

About the phoenix tip, Riot is making it so that he won't lose the shield.

[@swrnm]

Isn't final yet

[@hernique]

Isn’t final yet but they are also experimenting with getting his gun out faster if you *don’t* curve your wall

[@dimitrispapadopoulos4655]

good, because i hate seeing phoenix players use ulty when they have full armor i usually wait until my lhp goes below 100 or i just dont buy shield for that round, like i can save easily 1000 creds with that

[@DualityofLife]

people saying isnt final yet it is final. pbe stuff is not used for testing, its used to find bugs and glitches regarding the changes that riot might have missed.

[@swrnm]

@@DualityofLife bro idk what patch notes you found this info but ok

[@koshkamatew]

9:05 that flash isnt good either, you should make sure the eye is visible from the angle you are peeking. In this case, it isnt, and it wont flash the enemy. You could try flashing to the right and up for example, it will blind the enemy and then make a difficult flick from the eye to where you are!

As a Cypher main, depending on how the enemies play, using your entire set up on one spot can win you a round. If you notice they push B every time, try to cover more flanks for one round. If they don't come you can always take back your trips and ask a teammate to smole them if they have smokes

[@joshua07022002]

I’m a brim main in dia 2/3 so i have some extra tips/info. Ulting and prefiring/holding gives so many free kills because they 90% of the time hold their knife out when running away. Also learn some brim ult spots on attack. Some spots are very strong for taking site and usually give decent damage or free kills (when using this try not to use it if you know the person that is playing there is chamber they can tp away and it’s kind of a waste then). For example lamps on bind and tower on fracture. The good thing about ulting these spots is they either have to run far away to get away from the ult or run out into your aim to avoid dying to the ult. Another tip with brimstone is if possible on attack try and keep your molly for post plant if you shoot your molly straight up in the sky right after the beeping of the spike has it’s first speed up it will be really hard for them to defuse. The reason for this is that the spike takes 45 seconds to explode and after the first speed up there will be only 20 seconds left until the spike explodes. When you shoot the molly straight up in the sky it takes about 7/8 seconds for it to land on the spike then it lasts for 8 seconds and then they will only have 4/5 second left which they won’t be able to defuse unless it has already been halfed. What i usually do when it looks like we are about to be overrun is. I smoke right on the spike 3/4 beeps after the spike has been planted i wait in the smoke try to survive until i hear the spike speed up ( try and still help your team but also try to survive). Then when i hear the spike speed up i stand right in the middle shoot my molly up and then try to damage the remaining defenders. The only way they will be able to defuse it is when one of them who is full hp goes on the spike and tries to defuse it right before the molly lands he will die to the molly and half it then after the molly is done someone can do the other half. Other then that there will not really be a way for them to defuse it the only other way is when you shoot your molly up and someone kills you right away and starts defusing immediately after he kills you. Sorry for the long read if someone actually reads this but have a great day 😁😁

[@ruben2929]

The cypher trip on 5:55 is meant for when you're pushing A, so it doesnt matter that you can jump over it from that side The same goes for the first one 5:51 , but the other way around

[@tornat5269]

I thought about it too

[@n1ghtglare]

In the 5:51 one, Cypher is peeking mid, so you're right, it's to avoid pushes from A. But the 5:55 one is just wrong. Cypher is peeking C long, so the trip is supposed to prevent pushes from A but it doesn't do its job.

[@Kurt_Andrew]

I thought that was the case but the map says other wise

[@sykism-]

I think he just meant in general , I’ve seen multiple cypher players use traps like that when they go A

[@BobBob-et9io]

Yea it's important to use cypher trips for the situation. Both of the ones he showed can be good, but they can just as easily be useless

[@terrencemasalonga7400]

11:10 careful on these traps cus the lurker is most probably a smoker or jett/neon they can easily smoke it off without anyone knowing Edit: they can also destroy it and rotate back to site to create pressure

[@Chrisr4]

Very true, i got away too often with omen's tp

[@seizescorpion1262]

yes but thats applicable with almost any chamber/ kj trap, not just this one just be aware of what the enemy has done and what they might do

[@taqoe6430]

@@seizescorpion1262 you can't smoke kj trap because it goes invisible

[@invalid3354]

@@taqoe6430 you can. If you're careful enough, you can be close enough to see it but far enough to not activate it

[@futuregazer1283]

This is why actually Chamber needs two traps 😂

[@cursedheavy8860]

Fun Fact about TPs (if you didn't know) When you TP, you will be facing the same area you were aiming in. That means, if you are TPing with Yoru, Omen, or Chamber, you should always look towards wherever you're flanking. This is also important for Chamber, who might get camped from his TP.

[@madao8790]

I used to be a Sage main, but I changed it because when playing Sage I always felt like I have no freedom. Always teammates telling me things to do like wall there, asks for heal when he is really far from me. But when I stopped listening to them and played with some freedom, I did pretty good. For example I didn't wall and my teammates yelled at me but I used my wall for defusing and when it worked, they didn't yell at me again

[@kentakicheeken4471]

depends on situation lol

[@existence.5806]

Yell back

[@Squaqy]

The cypher trips on Haven are for enemies pushing from the other side. When people are coming from A main to garden they can’t get over the trip. And when enemies try to flank via window into garden, they can’t jump over the trip near the doorway. It depends on where you team goes or how you want to play as cypher :)

[@Flakschiff]

At 5:52 The traps are very dependent on the situation. The first trap is good to stop the A-Push because he can't jump from Main above. The second trap is for stopping the lurk when you push A. ^^

[@Twu77]

0:20 actually this Astra's ult is pretend to be fast plant that do post plant execute and u need to plant in that wooden corner so you can peek from short too. The main reason this work in pro play cuz usually they make Jett to plant the spike then dash back. Meanwhile the defender need to peek outside the Astra's wall which is defender likely detected by Sova's recon/drone so its a high risk play

[@totalyaj]

I agree entirely with all of the Fade statements. I do want to add that from experience, you don’t need to constantly use lineups. They become so predictable after a few rounds.

[@alaaesong164]

This! Lineups maybe 4 times at most, then play on site. Versed a viper who kept going for her lineups despite us killing her every round for it and she still didn't learn her lesson

[@kyo9615]

To be honest hearing your voice makes me feel like I'm on a class. I remember watching your videos when I was starting Valorant and they helped me so much, I've improved a lot thanks to you :)

[@witherdragon999]

The first trip from haven is intended to stop people pushing out from a, and the second one is effective for stopping flanks when your team is a. Its really hard to have effective trips in haven cause theres so many ways to flank

[@mowonster]

hes team is on c in the second clip so the cypher isnt using it for pushing a, AND in the first clip his team is on A site so he is really doing the opposite of what you said

[@tigr265]

8:57 as a Brim main, I can tell you the reason why we put all our smokes at the start of the round. *IT'S THE LAW*

[@TheF4llenOne]

5:17 not anymore, phoenix is getting buffs next patch and he will not lose his shield if he died in the ultimate anymore.

[@zc0pezy]

As a 100 hour Viper main, I’ve really started to go off from her as it’s so common to have people who heavily prioritise lineups over gameplay, and so recently I’ve started to drop all my lineup practices (I still obviously remember a few), but I’m really trying to reduce how many I do, purely because of needing to support my team in some scenarios. People really seem to try to wanna learn lineups for every agent, but sometimes it’s better to just play on site instead.

[@thijskrijger3056]

First cypher trip is to stop them lurking from a when you are c. Second is when you play a and they can’t go from behind so actually good trips but depend on situation 5:53 btw

[@uSoul5]

Cyph main here. This is true.

[@Zo-E_DSG]

that one cypher trap on haven for flank is actually really good because they cant jump over it because they're on the other if there flanking

[@schmee9102]

11:10 only problem I have with this is you could shoot it from mid real quick and stop flanking real fast

[@atharvabhide8081]

3:50 blast packs are very effective while diffusing spike in 1v1 situations, throw a blast pack near the spike then half it , and blast the blast pack manually . Works very well against operator

[@jols8909]

First astra mistake is actually nott a mistake. When walling for a small place, make it extremely small and once plant( must hold planter), come back to main and play postt with suck and stun. Super useful and actually used a lot in pro play.

[@Aquamarine175]

its a mistake in higher elo, my immo acc peole get info (sova and other shit like that) and you can knife an opponent thorugh the wall so its an easy kill if he's close to the wall

[@rai8558]

11:14 or an enemy can make you think they are still flanking by destroying your trap. Now you are constantly thinking that someone might be flanking you. The safest way to put up a trap is make sure that it covers everything, like on that situation you can place it the side of the ramp. Only way they can deny it from detecting them is they smoked it or they're playing Omen/Jett that has an ability to dodge it.

[@stanichu_]

5:18 this is not a mistake anymore becouse of the next patch so don't be afraid loosing your armor, with the next patch you will not loose armor anymore

[@smilesomemoar]

I main kj and one of my pet peeve with kj users is that they over looked how op the turret is sometimes and just places the turret without considering if it's ganna detect enemies, they keep forgetting that the kj keeps an eye on flank and use the alarm bot near for postplant, and the worst of all is that they save up their swarms for on the moments it's most useful and underestimate how big of an aoe it has. Just a mini rant, but I really do recommend trying out agents you rarely use but want to use on custom first, because you're ganna miss out on alot of creative ways to play that agent and who knows you just might find your new main

[@blu_e12]

This guy is a absolute legend telling us to not be stupid

[@ieatsoupinbed5189]

As a cypher main, placing trips on flank on attack is annoying because if you rotate you probably can jump over them (what happened in the clip you showed) so always on attack if you rotate pick up your trips and place them in a better spot or save them for postplant because people’s brains just can’t register a trip on site on attack

[@hussystark8742]

Hello MrLowlander!I wanted to mention,the chamber trap trick on icebox, the clip is not very good because,that trap can be shot out from under tube in middle,instead,you should place it just enough to the point where mid can't see it and it still covers 2 angles.

[@zeroesssssw]

yup a pretty bad trap (if enemy is smart)

[@mahiru4512]

As a cypher main both tripwire you show us are 1st is to hold the a main push when you push other site, and the 2nd one is to hold flank when your team pushing a

[@rifarira9160]

5:53 that trip are mean to catch someone flank from A, but yeah its a little bit too low. 5:54 that trip mean to catch someone from window&mid that try to flank to A. The high of the trip is also correct I think. The thing this cypher do wrong is combining a 2 conflicting trip, the trip itself is correct. The better trip would be repositioning the first trip to the inside of A main to change it function from catching A flanker to catching mid&window flanker, since from what i see ur team are trying to push A. If ur team decide to push A again next round then u can use the second trip as a variation since it also do a same job.

[@alexandermeibom4757]

Some times it is not smart to place your chamber turret in the open, because you can shout it from Long distant and go to another place…

[@Ria-lq3qu]

7:02 ayo mrlowlander? no way u said that

[@nonoedforyou]

5:50 im a cypher main myself and i do this one tripwire too... but the difference is that im using it when we all go a and expect someone to push from b or c. If we don't go for a i put the wire firectly on the door, where the stairs are so they cant pass it ;) and a tripwire on the defender entrance towards middle to deny the push of the enemys from there. So yes, im using my brain as cypher, don't worry :D edit: but the tripwire where you jumped over on a, i'm used to put it on the other side of the entrance (i'm silver 1 btw and the enemys don't think about jumping over it :D so thanks for letting me know because i honestly wasn't thinking about it either)

[@aboul_1094]

on killjoy you can actually recall both your alarm and your turret by holding both buttons at the same time and you can animation cancel it by pulling out your gun or knife after the little bar on the bottom is charged and your util is recharging

[@Doomblud]

The Cypher tripwires weren't actually that bad, he just uses them in the wrong order, the first tripwire is for rounds where you push to b or c, the second one is for when you push a. They're both unavoidable in those scenarios.

[@Azuman.]

About killjoy, many people on silver-gold don't know that you can break killjoy's grenades. When they planting spike and see killjoy's grenade, they just do nothing or switching position to plant.

[@FaIIenImpact]

The tip for phoenix where it was said he loses his shield after ultimate won't be true next week because of a buff to him

[@dityer]

for 11:12 that might not work, say someone is going to flank you but they see the trap, destroy it, then go back to their team. You will be stuck back there without your team even though no one is actually flanking

[@Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgh]

My cousin is an ascendant and his advice for chamber was to buy 5 bullets for the headhunter and honestly it’s helped so much. If I’m in a fight and I need to reload I could just pull out the headhunter and easy peasy kill for me. It helps a lot in save rounds, the first round, and when you switch sides since it only costs 500 and you can still get all your util. Yeah you need to use a classic but the classic is still pretty good.

[@rupantarnirvor8132]

Whenever I see those right click kayo flashes on the ledge that dont flash you, my heart rate goes up by 200. To avoid a potential heart attack, I dont use it. Nor do I play kayo.

[@techpug1108]

I agree for the chamber headhunter tip, so I usually buy two bullets every round to slowly build up a backup reserve

[@veezbeez4015]

As a sage main, a good off angle is in ascent on defender side you can place your wall on the boxes at mid doorway (near mid market) and go on top the wall by placing it under you and easy kills! another good wall is on ascent where you can wall the entry for a site (near a tree) and boost yourself so once they break it you might get 1 kill 1 death, it'd be a nice trade and your teammates would know where the enemies are. Also, don't be like a sage i met, help your teammates. Stick with em on attack so you can heal, res, slow, etc and on defender if someone needs a heal don't be lazy and say "I'm lurking". thats silly, go and help. you (nearly) always have time to rotate if you pay attention.

[@apljus5834]

5:51 just for u to know the first one is to prevent enemies that would try to push a site and the 2gn one is to cover the back when ur team is playing A site

[@halloboyslp3]

11:10 hiding is actually better then what you did because a viper, jett omen etc can smoke the trap off and you get flanked completely unaware and 11:34 if you play operator for example you can buy all bullets and switch faster and be more acurate then with a shorty on range for example

ngl for brim super long range lineups can be useful. just know a handful(less than 3) 1 for each site, especially if the enemy team has many frags who like to push push. And learn some defense mollies

What I personally do, is when, I have a but round and get a vandal and a shield, with chamber...
