Valorant’s newest map Sunset has a standard layout with two bomb sites and a lot of deep corners. This makes Sova one of the best Agents to track down the position of the enemy team to form a robust execution plan. A single recon dart can provide crucial information about a player's whereabouts for quick action, and relieve the team from checking every nook and cranny.

Sova specializes in securing an area and forcing enemies to change their positions on the map upon detection. This can be a great tool in Valorant as players often try to play cheeky angles and catch others by surprise. The new map provides fresh avenues to utilize different lineups to flush out enemies and create a favorable position to win rounds.

Sova also has a nifty drone and a pair of shock darts that can easily disorient enemy players on Valorant’s Sunset with easy-to-use lineups.
