Victory in Valorant’s Spilt map can be easy if players understand the importance of smokes.

Valorant has multiple agents with smoking abilities such as Brimstone, Omen, Viper, Jett and Cypher. They can put the team at an advantage by smoking in the right areas. Smoke is an integral part of the game's strategy as it blocks chokepoints, obstructing enemy sight.

Split has elevated grounds in both A and B, and attackers face an uphill battle. However, smoking the Heavens can make a huge difference by completely eliminating the uphill battle situation. On the other hand, defending is also easy by smoking at the site entrance to discourage a heavy push.

The high grounds in Split are a big threat to the attackers. However, using smoke to cover multiple choke points can stop defenders from initiating a fight.

Attackers often face enemies at A Ramps, while entering the site from A Main. Blocking the Ramps with smoke will make entering the site easy. Next, the players can smoke A Rafters and A Screens. This will only leave the corners for the team to check and plant the spike.
