The Best Viper Walls and Smokes on Ascent

Contrary to other maps Viper is not the most picked controller on Ascent. Agents such as Brimstone, Astra, and even Omen see more playing time. Despite not being a must-pick Agent you can still find a lot of value with Viper on Ascent. 

Her kit makes her very useful on the defensive side, helping a lot when it comes to closing down bombsites. She is also great at blocking the enemy's vision when executing into a bombsite, being an overall great Agent to take control of important parts of the map.

Viper Walls and Smokes on Ascent A Bombsite

It also makes it much easier to claim the orb and denies the enemy team some area control and the orb. Forcing them to spend utility to fight over that area of the map. 

B Main One Way Smoke

Stand against the left side edge to the door. Aim at the bottom of the lamp and do a jump right-click.

A great one-way smoke that blocks the vision from the enemies that are entering through B Main. This poison cloud it's great to stop the enemy rush, and you can play from multiple positions, such as market, or boat for example.

Market Smoke

Aim at where the crosshair is (white outline of the cloud) and do a normal left-click throw.
