• To deal with getting flashed, there are a lot of options you can do to counter. Turning your back against an incoming flash will lessen your blind time, giving you the opportunity to turn around and fight back! However, if you get fully blinded and you have nowhere else to hide, you can fire at the corner where the flash came from. That way, there is a chance for you to hit enemies or even eliminate them when they peek to fire.

• Counter flashing is also an option. It’s basically flashing right after an enemy’s flash to anticipate an enemy peek only for them to be greeted by your flash and die.

Epilogue:

Jett’s Script:

• The sounds you make in-game is another important element in Valorant! Falling, reloading, running around, all of these make noise and can either provide you or your enemies intel. Therefore, sound cues can be both applied to yourself and to enemies. 

• Check out the big circle surrounding your character in the minimap. This will indicate the range if your enemies can hear your footsteps when you run! You can use footsteps to mislead and distract your opponents! (Shout outs to the Yoru mains out there) Or you can walk slowly when rotating to another site to keep your enemies guessing!

Skit:

The story focuses on a Brimstone just wanting to help but does the opposite and instead puts the team in an awkward spot.On defense, he doesn’t smoke mid properly and one of his teammates ends up dying. This discourages Brim and starts to feel bad. But the team comforts him and the Brim wants to make up for it in the next round! Fast forward to their turn to attack: The score is 12-12 and they’ve already planted the spike. It’s the game winning round! But out of pressure, he accidentally blocks vision off the spike and the team loses with the enemy team able to defuse in a 1v1 situation. 

Jett’s Tips(Script):

• Smoking in a tactical shooter can be overwhelming, especially if its your first experience in the genre! But don’t fret! Understanding the fundamentals will get you to confidently make your own smoke calls no problem! Why is smoking important in Valorant? Smokes are key to creating space for your team and denying intel from your opponents! 

• As defenders, you can drop down smokes on site entrances to slow a push and block their vision! Make them hesitate!
  

[Defender POV]
The vibe is to make it like a playful horror game vibe where it’s just the derpy brim left versus 3 players. His teammates are all dead and everyone’s chatting stuff like “winnable”, “they’re at A” “they’re all so low” And he’s just stuck in a corner, all sweaty and not knowing where to go and what to do. Brim so nervous at every sound - footsteps, gun reload, an enemy jett saying “GET OUT OF MY WAY” and a Skye ult VO cue going “SEEK THEM OUT!’ and then enemy Yoru appears behind him appears out of nowhere and says “boo!”. Brim screams (insert homer simpson AHHHH), runs with his eyes closed, bumps into a wall and dies.

Jett’s Script:

• Sometimes being the only one left in a round can be such a nerve wracking thing. And that is okay! Follow these easy to digest tips to increase your chances of clutching and win a round for your team! In no particular order!
