Valorant combat
Valorant combat is short. This page covers first shots, lane holds, and resets around lineups.
Pick the first shot
Win the first angle. Valorant players who wide-swing every door lose to someone waiting on default executes.
Keep the crosshair at the height the next player will appear. Fancy movement is slower than a ready lane.
Hold a lane
One lane is enough. Cover retakes and let teammates take the rest.
Vanguard updates do not change this: a calm hold still beats a panic swing.
Reset after the spray
After the spray, reload behind cover and count steps. attack and defense rounds on tight, ability-heavy maps punishes people who chase while empty.
If the fight is even, leave. eco rounds is still there on the next pass.
