Best Sova Shockdart Lineups On Sunset

If you’re playing Sova and you feel the need to learn a few lineups so you can elevate your gameplay, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we will take you through the best shockdarts lineups you could use. While lineups aren’t mandatory to be a good Sova, it can be the differentiator between a good and a great one. 

It can also improve your KDA as you no longer would have to stand right in the open with your bow in hand to try and hit a shockdart, safe to say it is much more efficient to learn a lineup or two. 

In this guide, we will take you through key locations on Sunset that you can shock dart to increase your chances of winning your rounds and games, so let’s start:

Attack Side

A Site

This lineup may not seem as flashy but it serves two purposes when you’re attacking A. One, it breaks any trips or mollies placed in A main. Two, it can deal damage to anyone trying to play aggressive in A main.

To do the lineup, all you have to do is come A main and aim through the window with 1 bounce. Then, shoot a fully charged dart.

A Site Default

A second lineup to use from the same spot as the last. This one lands on the default planting spot, which is the one for Elbow. It helps you deal damage and delay diffuse of the spike.

To do it, aim the corner of your health bar HUD with the telephone booth just as shown in the picture, and then send your lineup with 1 bounce and full charge.

B Site

This lineup will clear any cypher trips you’re afraid of and that is usually the case on B site. It also destroys alarm bots or Vyse thorns, so it’s the jack of all trades for that.

Simply come anywhere on B main and aim on the wall as shown in the picture. Do a double bounce double charged arrow.

Defense Side

B Site

If you’re retaking B site, then you’re certainly familiar with the struggles it gives you. This will help you deal damage to close corners for CT, which will ensure you can have a flawless retake.

All you have to do is come anywhere where you can see this window, aim against the top of it and do 1 bounce full charge.

Pro Tips

• Always make sure you are safe from enemies pushing you before performing a lineup. While some lineups can be done very quickly, you still need to keep that in mind to not get caught off guard.
  
  
• Refer to the pictures to understand where to stand and where to aim for the lineup to work. It is best to practice it in a custom before heading to a Ranked game.
  
  
• You can try to innovate and alternate the lineups to your liking if you find it better, it is scenario dependent but you are free to get creative. Simply a turn to the right or left may change where the Arrow goes.
  
  
• As a Sova, lineups aren’t everything. Timing is everything. Make sure to use your abilities at a good time to get the best out of it.
  
  
• Make sure you don’t spam these arrows consistently as this will lead enemies to pre-aim your arrows’ locations and break them instantly. Instead, alternate between the lineups for better efficiency.
  
  
• Your shock darts are not always used to deal damage to players, sometimes the best use is to destroy a cypher trip or other sentinel’s utility.
  
  
• Always alternate your lineups, Sentinels will not stand in the same position or keep their trips on the same spots if they know you’re destroying it. That’s why it’s a good idea to learn a few lineups so you can alternate between them as needed.
