In this introduction, we're going to highlight some of the most advantageous ISO ultimate spots across Valorant's diverse and intricate maps.

Starting on Haven, this guide will be a great resource whether you are a newcomer or an experienced player, so hold on tight as we break it down for you. 

Best ISO Ultimate Spots

Using your ultimate properly is more than just pressing a key, it could be the reason for a round’s outcome. With ISO’s ultimate, you can benefit from it even whilst losing the 1v1 you take. It comes down to many different scenarios such as taking down anchoring defenders, opening up sites with entry frags, or even during retakes. So we will go through all of the possible instances that you can utilize your ultimate for: 

A Site

What Does It Cover: Over to A site, this ultimate will hit anyone playing short, back site, default, CT and even a portion of A heaven. Although, unless enemies are playing for retake it won’t go that far before picking someone up in short or site.

When To Use It: Best used during fast A site execute scenarios as this will allow you to 

What Makes It Special: This spot is especially useful as it eases the push up on A short and makes it almost guaranteed for your teammates to secure a trade if you do end up losing the duel.

A Short

What Does It Cover: Over to the defensive side, this ultimate will hit the default planting spot mainly with the inclusion of A short and A long.

When To Use It: Best used during post retake situations as this will allow you to deny the plant and ensure more time for your teammates to rotate and possibly 

What Makes It Special: This ultimate is special because it is undeniably one of the best options to stop enemies from planting, possibly winning man advantage or equalizing it as your team rotates to execute a full retake together.

B A Link

What Does It Cover: Over to this spot on B site, you will be targeting an A link push and this is exactly what this covers. As you will be able to push A link as iso’s teammate to trade him in case they lose the duel.

When To Use It: Best used during fast B site execute scenarios where you need to take A link control in order to keep a strong post plant position.

What Makes It Special: It’s a very useful and common ultimate spot for a reason; it’s easy to dash or run through after ISO captures the enemy to trade or even just take control / space of the map.

C Right Side

What Does It Cover: Over to C site, this ultimate will hit anyone playing towards the right side or back site. In ISO’s ultimate, it captures the closest enemy caught in its field, so if an enemy is playing close right, they will be taken first.

When To Use It: Best used in fast C site executes as this allows you to explode on site and take quick control, especially if there is a sentinel on site holding it down.

What Makes It Special: C site is usually a Sentinel’s site, with this ultimate you will be able to take them off and disable their utility which gives you a free pass to both site and an entry frag.

Pro Tips

• When using your ultimate, make sure you’re in a safe space as it’s very easy for enemies to walk up and kill you. Think of it as a Phoenix ult, you don’t want to be in an exposed position, otherwise, you will get instantly traded if you win your duel.
  
  
• It’s important to remember that the ultimate will reset both of you and the enemy to equal terms regardless of your conditions mid-round, for example, if your enemy is 1 HP and you ult them in, you both will start at full shield full HP so pay attention to that.
  
  
• Remember that all abilities are disabled by default once you enter your ultimate, this includes abilities that are previously casted; which means if you used any utility on an enemy it won’t carry on during your ultimate.
  
  
• As an ISO, it’s really important to combo your abilities and make sure you use them together. With the set kit you have, you are able to create unique opportunities for yourself as a duelist and that’s what makes a difference.
  
  
• Adding to utility combos, don’t hesitate to ask your teammates for help or set them up using your abilities as your vulnerability can be the “initiating” role for so many different plays.
  
  
• One of the best ways to use your ultimate is to counter certain agent ultimates, such as Viper ultimate. If you are playing retake and a Viper is ulted on site, you can use your ultimate hoping to capture that Viper and put down their ult.
  
  
• Remember that ISO is not an entry agent, you have no abilities to dash or take fast control which makes it rather difficult to run it as a solo duelist. For that reason, you should always prioritize picking ISO in the spot of reyna, as its more efficient and effective.
  
  
• Your ISO shield does not stack up on top of each other, rather it resets the timer of the shield before it wears down, so while it's not a priority to hit the reset there is no harm to do it if you have the chance to.
  
  
• Finally, don’t forget to watch pro plays with ISO as that will speed up your progress playing that agent.
