Valorant

Valorant is a tactical FPS where utility creates aim fights. The spike gives every round a timer.

Use Utility to Earn Space

Smokes, flashes, walls, and recon should make the next duel easier. Keep this resource nearby when learning agent jobs.

Plan Around the Spike

Attackers need entry and plant control. Defenders need delay and retake options.

Use additional game information when reviewing site layouts and post-plant spots.

Respect the Economy

Force buys can work, but they carry risk into the next round. Check related resources before changing buy habits.

After a close match, review additional guides to find missed timing windows.
