KAY/O Attack Flash Lineups
While attacking is often dependant on the duelists, you as a flasher initiator play a key role in the efficiency of their entry. To maximize the chances of you winning a round, use these lineups that will take any enemy by surprise with an instant blind that’ll easen your way into any site:
Starting with the famous A main push flash, this will help your teammate take the fight on A Main which often ends up having defenders going for early aggression. This flash will be instant, it is definite to peek and find any enemy on A main flashed except they were anticipating it and played off an anti flash.
To do that, you simply need to stand in this corner right by the wall of CT and find that spot on the pipeline just like in the picture. After that, JUMP and throw your flash.
Over to Mid, which is a pretty important territory to take control over and this flash will help you explode a quick peek or execute towards market with rest assured as any enemy or operator player at that spot will be fully flashed giving you a free kill.
To do it, come over to this corner on B link, aim at that spot on the tree above the building and as soon as the barrier drops throw your flash.
While you may be sitting back for this lineup, impact shows greatly to your duelist/team pushing out on site from lane or stairs. As this lineup travels through the window of B main which is quite unpredicted and uncommon.
Doing it is very simple, come over to B main, any spot around this area is fine and just aim your crosshair at that spot. Then, throw your Flash.
Tip: Those metal bars on the windows of the B main wall are not able to stop projectiles from going through, including utility. This essentially means, you can throw your flash there without too much worrying of it bouncing back because of any of those metal bars.
If you want to be more involved and engage into those fights on site, here’s a quick flash you can do in lane that’ll have a similar effect to the previous one. Although, it might be anticipated or dodged by enemies, so beware of that.
To do it, come over to Lane (after you’ve cleared it) and aim at this little brick on the wall, throw your flash and it’ll bounce and blind anyone on site.
KAY/O Defense Flash Lineups
In defense, it may not seem like you would be utilizing your flashes as much as you normally do, but the fact is you still can make a game-changing difference as you assist your duelist to push up and take space with these lineups. The best form of defense, is offense, which puts you at a huge advantage as a flasher:
A long is one of the places where you would want to take control of quite often as it’s very easy to fight for that space, and shockingly significant when it comes to the overall impact on the outcome of the round. This flash will be instant, it’ll blind anyone on A main allowing your duelist to possibly dash into the fight and earn some free kills.
To do it, come by the corner of the wooden box on site, aim at that brick just like so, and then, JUMP and throw your molly.
This is mostly known as the DRX flash as it originates from a strategy the professional valorant team DRX have performed in some of their VCT matches. It went quite well to the point other teams started adopting it, and now it’s your turn to take that piece into action in your games. This flash will completely blind anyone on Mid Link.
To do it, come right by the corner of the barrier on the left side and aim at this spot. Then, throw your flash and let your duelist dash into the blinded enemies.
Similarly to other instant flashes, this defensive flash will be so quick nobody will even have time to react to it. It’ll help you gain space and momentum up on B main.
To do it, just simply aim at this spot, where you’re lined up with the building edge and that barrel as in the picture, then throw your flash. It will flash you, but it won’t have effect on your teammates as it lands behind them right on that window on the wall.
