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 Split:

Defending Side

A Site

When you are retaking A, Elbow happens to be a hard angle to clear. This is often because enemies can camp there and catch you off guard as you walk out of CT. This lineup, lands on elbow covering you just right.

To do it, come by the corner on CT and aim your crosshair as shown in the picture. Then, do a normal throw.

B Site

B is a bit tricky to navigate through on retakes, but with this lineup: You will do it with ease. It lands on back site, and it will most certainly catch your enemies off guard. Who expects such thing?

To do it, come next to the curve on the wall on CT and place your crosshair above the little pipe in the building and move it to the right. Then, do a normal throw.

Attacking Side

A Site

This is a very simple and quick lineup to stop anyone from peeking A heaven as you execute A site. It is common that as you push forward someone would walk out of smoke on heaven, so this is definitely going to help you.

Simply come anywhere on A main/lobby and aim your crosshair around the spot shown, it just has to hit against the roof/wall on A heaven and it’ll land perfectly.

B Site

Finally onto B site, this lineup lands in the middle of site stopping anyone from pushing the planter (your beloved teammate) and this helps you stall the retake or punish enemies who challenge you through your utility.

To do it, come anywhere on B lobby and aim your crosshair at the lining of the building as shown in the picture. Then, do a normal throw.

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.
