Vyse is one of the newer agents in the game, although she has been out for a while it’s still rare to see someone utilizing her to her maximum capability. In this guide, we will show you the best Vyse Thorns lineups that you could use on both attacking and defending sides.

We will give you a detailed explanation of where the lineup lands, what it’s for, and most importantly: how to do it. Most of them will be simple and straightforward, so no worries! Let’s head into the best Thorns lineups on Pearl:

Defending Side

A Site

This lineup is incredibly useful as it hits on cubby A site, which is a common and hard to counter position when you have to play retake on A site. It is best done as you rotate from B to A to ease your retake.

Simply come to the corner on Defender Spawn and aim your crosshair as shown in the picture, then do a normal throw.

B Site

This lineup is very simple, but it hits link which is crucial if you don’t have control of that area when you retake B site. Best part about this lineup is how easy and quick it is.

All you have to do is come anywhere on B heaven and aim your crosshair as shown in the picture. Then, do a normal throw.

Attacking Side

A Site

This lineup on A site might be the sole reason you win your execute. It hits Flowers and covers a big part of it, disallowing enemies to peek you comfortably.

To do it, come by this wall on B site and aim your crosshair on the lining as shown. Then, do a jumping throw.

B Site

On the attacking side of B, this will definitely level up your executes. It hits B link, - we know we are targeting this often - but this happens to help you in both attacking and retakes.

To do it, come by on B pillar on long and aim your crosshair just above the building and do a normal throw. It will hit the building and bounce to Mid link.

Mid

This lineup is best for a supportive play towards middle, where you can lurk and help your teammates who are pushing Art. This allows you to hold Link or push forward to connecter while also being a useful teammate, how perfect.

To do it, come over on mid and aim your crosshair at the little building and do a normal throw. However, make sure you’re safe from mid link, although it isn’t often that someone is peeking, it’s best to jiggle to be sure before doing the lineup.

Pro Tips

Vyse’s wall is a very versatile ability. It’s not just used to defend a site, but also to detect flanks on the attacking side. When you place the wall, it will alert you if anyone walks through, working like a perfect Cypher trip.
Your flash can be placed through walls. So even through a thicker wall you could still place it and use it. Although it has a little bit of time before it activates so you will not be able to use it as a fast paced flash.
Remember that your abilities can still deal damage to you, so make sure you understand Vyse’s mechanics to not get caught off guard from your own abilities.
Enemies can still move through your thorns (Molly) if they shift (walk) so make sure you are aware of that. It will make no sound if enemies are just walking through your molly.
Because your flash is made to be set up, you can use the flash with your gun out which makes it incredibly powerful especially when you’re defending a site. Use that to your advantage.
Your ultimate blocks enemies from using primary weapons. But they can still use pistols and ultimates, so beware from a Jett or an ulted Chamber that will peek you after your ability has hit them.
Try to not waste your abilities on attack until you’ve secured a plant on site. As before, it is difficult for you to get value without lurking. As a Vyse, you should lurk or set up for post plant with your abilities on the attacking side.
