Best Clove Decay Lineups On Sunset

If you’re playing Clove 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 Decay Meddle lineups you could use. While lineups aren’t mandatory to be a good smoker, 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 Meddle or as we call it vulnerability in hand to try and hit it where you want. 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 use the meddle on to increase your chances of winning your rounds and games, so let’s start:
Attack Side
A Site
This lineup is going to hit the default planting spot, behind the metal boxes. You can use that for post plant, although this is not ideal unless you have a teammate molly on the line. It’s best used for executes when you’re pushing A.
To do this lineup, come anywhere on A main and aim your crosshair against the billboard as shown in the picture. Then, do a jump throw
B Site
If you’re looking to attack B site, one of the main concerns is B main as it’s easy to peek snatch off a pick and dash away. This decay will ensure that duelists back off that area or get punished instantly.
To do it, come anywhere around the spot shown and aim your crosshair at the bottom of the right window. Then send your decay.
Defense Side
A Site
This lineup on A will also land on the default planting position, and this is very useful during retakes. If combined with a nade, it is a guaranteed kill.
To do this lineup, come through link and aim your crosshair at the spot shown in the picture.
B Site
Over to B site, this lineup is going to land on the one spot that you always struggle with when retaking site. Yes, you can practically peek and throw it there, but if someone was holding you’re going to get one tapped.
To do it, come to CT and aim the corner of the metal crane as shown in the picture. Then, send your decay.
Clove Pro Tips
- As of the recent patches, Clove’s decay will not explode until it makes contact. This allows for these new lineups to come up, so don’t worry, you’re right in with this trend!
- With the recent Clove changes, your smokes take 40 seconds to recharge. This puts a lot of emphasis on using them only when you need to, and to not waste them unnecessarily.
- The Ability “Meddle” is the vulnerability orb that decays enemies, you may not recognize its name but it is better to as searching for this online will require the specific ability’s name.
- These lineups were designed to help you be in position to smoke site, don’t forget to do that before or right after you perform your lineup as you might hinder your teammates if you waste time on doing lineups without smoking.
- Decay is an ability that is best when used with other mollies to deal damage, you can never kill with a Clove decay but you can surely get a lot of assists and win the round if you combine that with a Raze nade or other mollies.
- Your decay can hit teammates, make sure you don’t hit your own team to avoid getting flamed and yelled at (who wants that, right?)
- As a Clove, you should always try to play in Mid or a position that allows you to smoke both sites. If you’re attacking, you just go with your team. If you’re defending, just stick to Mid or spawn.
