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 how to use Vyse, with creative defending and attacking setups.

Yes, attacking too, we will show you where to use your abilities when you attack, as she can be very overpowered on both sides. So let’s start shall we? Here’s the best guide for Vyse on Sunset:

On attack, you may think you’re just a sentinel but here’s how you transform this half for your team:

Place your wall for Flank
Use the Thorns lineup we offer on our lineups guide to hit Link
Place your flash through the wall to site, use it as you see fit

B Site

On B site, this will be about the best way to execute:

Place your wall for flank, as always
Use both of your thorns on back site and market, disallowing enemies from walking out on you
It’s best to preserve your flash for back site, and push together with your team.

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.
