Best Vyse Thorns Lineups On Sunset

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 Sunset:
Defending Side
A Site
This lineup is going to do wonders for you when retaking A site. This is because it lands on the safe planting spot behind the boxes where you are guaranteed to have an enemy playing.
To do it, come over to CT and stand anywhere close to the wall as shown in the picture, then send off your thorns.
B Site
Over to B site this is a game changing retake lineup because it lands on the corner that we end up always dying from in Sunset B site. Though, with this lineup you will not need to peek into them but rather send the lineup from the sky at anyone playing there.
To do it, find this window towards stairs of Market and send your thorns down. Remember to angle yourself properly.
Attacking Side
A Site
This is one of the best lineups you could use when executing A site, it saves you a lot of time and trouble as you can use it at the start of the round to activate while you push site.
Stand back in A lobby and aim your crosshair towards the bottom of the window and send your thorns. Then, move quickly as it will land in 1-2 seconds.
B Site
Onto B site, you need to use this lineup because it will save you a lot of time and losses. You can even do it from mid and go to lurk, but activate it for your team which can be a lot of help for them on site. It lands in front of market disallowing enemies from walking out.
To do it, come on top of the boxes on Mid and aim your crosshair just in line with the far building as shown in the picture. Then, send your thorns and it will take 2-3 seconds to land.
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.
